lift to ADA

by Ian Clothier

Hi, I just thought I'd put out to those on the ADA list to see if there would be any chance of catching a lift to Auckland for the ADA symposium. Alas I have to teach Friday till noon so was looking for a lift after then if at all possible. Any options considered.

History of Educational Software - PhD Scholarship, Flinders University

by Melanie Swalwell

Dear colleagues, Please find below information on a PhD top-up scholarship, intended to supplement an Australian Postgraduate Award. Would you please bring it to the attention of high achieving Honours students and others who may be interested in conducting research in the area of software history. With thanks, Melanie History of Educational Software PhD Scholarship Opening Date: 09-01-2014 Closing Date: 31-10-2014 This scholarship is not part of the main round of APA/FURS scholarships, and is for this project only. DESCRIPTION A full-time Flinders University PhD Scholarship is available for a suitably qualified prospective PhD candidate in the Department of Screen and Media associated with the ARC Future Fellowship project "Creative Micro-computing in Australia, 1976 - 1992". This Flinders University PhD Scholarship is associated with the ARC Future Fellowship project (FT130100391) on Creative Micro-Computing awarded to Associate Professor Melanie Swalwell. This project will research the history of educational software in Australia. This comes out of the considerable evidence that Assoc Prof Swalwell's team has turned up on Australian-made educational titles during this era, such as the oeuvre of Jacaranda/Greygum Software. Teachers often authored early educational software. Debates about the use of computers in schools during the era will be researched, providing a backdrop to the software development history and experiences of users. Titles such as Jacaranda's "Raft-Away River" still evoke powerful memories today, owing to the fact that school use was often the first experience people had of a computer. The PhD candidate will be jointly supervised by Associate Professor Melanie Swalwell and Associate Professor Karen Vered, a children's media specialist in the Flinders University Department of Screen and Media. The successful candidate will be expected to produce research with a complementary yet stand-alone focus with respect to the research project outlined above. The scholarship must be taken up by second semester 2015. BENEFITS The 2014 Flinders University PhD full-time stipend rate is $25 392 pa tax exempt for 3 years. A top up of $7000 per annum will be awarded to the successful candidate. ELIGIBILITY To be eligible for a PhD scholarship the applicant is expected to have a record of excellent academic performance and will have achieved an excellent Honours qualification in an associated field. Reference should be made to the Flinders University Postgraduate Research Scholarships webpage for more information. APPLICATION Applicants should make contact with Associate Professor Melanie Swalwell, email: melanie.swalwell(a)flinders.edu.au<mailto:melanie.swalwell@flinders.edu.au>, phone: +61 8 8201 2619 before submitting an application. -- Assoc.
