The Institute for Dynamic Educational Advancement (IDEA) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving education through the innovative use of technology. As Executive Director, Douma sets the path for and oversees several projects.

WebExhibits is an online museum founded in 1999, at the dawn of the Internet's ascent. The interactive museum challenges visitors to think and explore scientific and cultural phenomena in new ways, using innovative and intuitive data interface designs and multi-media content to transform the learning experience for members of the general public. As a function of WebExhibit's success, IDEA has collaborated with museums worldwide, including the National Gallery of Art (Washington) and the Museo Nacional del Prado (Madrid, Spain).

ProstateCalculator was developed in partnership with the IDEA team. Using complex computer neural networks and data collected from over 10,000 patients, the web site provides users with pattern-based risk predictions for prostate cancer. The innovative and patient-friendly interface allows patients to input relevant personal information and details specific to their current treatment regime. Users are then provided with vital information across a range of prognostic areas.

With National Clocks, appealing and intuitive web-based interfaces allow users to conveniently access their official national time. In 1999, Douma produced the United States web clock (www.time.gov), and in 2005, he designed and lead IDEA's production of the Malaysian web clock.
