Brunel Business School is a research intensive, innovative and forward-looking environment providing well educated managers to meet the needs of contemporary complex organisations. As part of our strategic investment towards these challenges we are offering a number of PhD studentships which present a wealth of opportunity for committed, intelligent and enthusiastic individuals.
Applications are invited from suitable candidates from the UK or other EU countries for a Research Studentship related to the following project:
Research Group: Information Systems Evaluation and Integration (ISEing)
Investigation: The Design of Interactive e-learning Systems
Leader: Dr Chris Evans (chris.evans@brunel.ac.uk)
This project considers the effects of interactivity in the use of e-learning systems. A major part of the project is to investigate the effects of incorporating different kinds of interactivity into system interfaces, particularly with respect to their enhancement of either memory or understanding. Other aspects to the project include investigating mobile learning technologies such as podcasting, and collaborative learning environments arising from Web 2.0 technologies (e.g. blogs, wikis, and Second Life).
Start Date: January/February, 2008.
Candidates will have at least a 2.1 class degree and ideally a Masters degree in a relevant discipline. The terms of the bursary are the full payment of Home/EU fees for three years, and GBP 12, 600 per year (subject to annual review and satisfactory progress). The successful candidate will be required to teach for up to 150 hours per academic year.
Application
To apply, candidates should send a curriculum vitae, together with names and addresses of two referees (at least one academic) and a short statement (maximum of two sides) setting out your interest in the research area, to: Professor Ray Hackney ray.hackney@brunel.ac.uk
Informal inquiries about the project should be made to the Research Leader.
Closing date for applications: November 30, 2007 .
