>This is a call for jurors for the Arts and Humanities section of the
>European Academic Software Awards which is a biennial event seeking out &
>recognising the best in academic software and its use in Higher Education.
>
>What disciplines are covered?
>-----------------------------
>
>The Arts and Humanities section covers Visual Art, Design, Music,Theatre
>Arts, History, Social History, Literature etc (as one would expect!)
>Needless to say, you may be asked to look at entries that are not in your
>own specialist area, but a specialist would be looking at it too.
>
>What does a juror do?
>---------------------
>
>You would receive 2 or 3 entries to evaluate - plus guidance on what
>is required. You would examine the software and its associated
>documentation and evaluate its usefulness. Then you would fill in an
>evaluation form for the software.
>Is there a deadline for the work?
>---------------------------------
>
>Yes - and it's quite soon! So this fascinating opportunity will not take
>up all of your summer!
>
>What reward is there?
>---------------------
>
>Well, like virtue, much of the reward lies in the job itself! I have been
>a juror in the past and it really is interesting to see the very latest in
>educational software, to try it out and to comment on its value and quality.
>Some jurors will be also invited to the final stage of the competition, in
>the Netherlands (in November).
>
>European?
>----------
>
>Yes. Entries are from many European countries, and we are looking for
>jurors from as many countries as possible as each entry will be judged by
>more than one juror and in more than one country. In the Arts and
>Humanities section there are entries that require jurors who are happy to
>work with Dutch, with English, or with German. Knowledge of other
>languages or other countries' HE systems is an added bonus.
>
>What happens next?
>------------------
>
>If you are interested in finding out more please get in touch as soon as
>possible. If you have postgraduate students who would be interested,
>please get them to contact us similarly. If you know of any mailing list
>in the Arts or Humanities, please feel free to forward this call. If you
>have contacts or colleagues in European universities who might be
>interested, please pass the message on to them.
>
>This is an exciting and worthwhile event in the academic calendar - your
>help with making it a success will be greatly appreciated.
