Call: Colleague research request: Survey testing scale on character identification and VR

My name is Shane Burrell and I presented my paper at the PRESENCE 2020 Conference on my research on en-roling and de-roling [the Proceedings are here].

I am currently conducting another study testing my scale on character identification and VR. I would greatly appreciate any and all assistance with my study. I am using this study to help write my master’s thesis and need to collect as much information as possible.

Here is the link for the survey:

“Child-Robot Interaction: Design, Evaluation, and Novel Solutions”
Special issue of Interaction Studies
For this and other issue calls, see https://benjamins.com/catalog/is

Deadline for manuscript submissions: July 15, 2021

Robots are becoming more pervasive in society, playing different roles from tutors to physical therapy assistants to playmates, to name a few. Child-robot interaction (CRI) is an emerging and multidisciplinary field that brings numerous challenges to researchers. Many of the challenges come from the fact that children are cognitively immature, and their perspectives on robots are different from adults.

The primary purpose of this special issue is to publish the state-of-the-art in the field of child-robot interaction related to recent innovative developments, existing challenges, and plausible future solutions. We want to address (1) recent developments of hardware and software technologies that impacted CRI, for example, AI and machine learning; (2) technological, design and empirical challenges related to the assessment of usability, deployment, efficacy, and sustaining of long-term interactions.;… read more. “Call: “Child-Robot Interaction: Design, Evaluation, and Novel Solutions” issue of Interaction Studies”

SCOPE

The role of professors and teachers as front line educators is crucial. In this information and knowledge era, teachers and professors are facing new challenges in teaching and learning. Despite the fact that 51% of the world population still does not have regular access to the Internet (ITU, 2020), children and adolescents are growing up in mediatized environments. Prosumers of the new generations interact and inform each other online, mainly through social networks, in public spaces increasingly engineered by artificial intelligence.… read more. “Call: Comunicar 70: New challenges for teachers in the context of digital learning”
