The Department of Computing, Oxford Brookes University
Research Assistant Post - Evaluation of Interface Design for Attentive Agents
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Intelligent Systems Research Group in the Department of Computing at Oxford Brookes University, has recently been awarded an EU IST STREP Grant as partners in the EU project Atgentive (Attentive Agents for Collaborative Learners)
Atgentive will investigate the use of artificial agents for supporting the management of the attention of young or adult learners in the context of individual and collaborative learning environments. The agents will be designed, delivered and piloted as part of two different learning infrastructure/contexts: (1) enhanced eLearning platform for child education in the Czech Republic (2) an advanced virtual community platform supporting knowledge exchange in knowledge communities in Sweden.
The successful applicant will work closely with Dr Mary Zajicek to design and manage all aspects of the evaluation programme for the project.
This work demands innovative evaluation concepts and methods and therefore provides an ideal opportunity for the successful applicant to establish themselves as an expert in the increasingly important role of systems evaluator for collaborative learning environments, and gain experience of attentive agents and software. It also provides the opportunity to work closely with researchers from several different computing disciplines in several different European countries.
The post is for 22 months starting at the beginning of February 2006 Salary: Researcher B, from £23,457 - £28,009 depending on experience.
The post is advertised at http://www.brookes.ac.uk/vacancy. If after visiting the site you have further questions please contact Dr Mary Zajicek at [log in to unmask]
