>
> LIKT ((http://www.likt.ntnu.no/)) is a part of the NTNU's Strategic
> Area of Information and communication technology
> (http://www.ntnu.no/ikt/). Learning with ICT is a field of research
> that operates in the intersection between the Computer sciences the
> social sciences and the humanities. LIKT is therefore based on an idea
> of bringing various types of competence and interests together and
> juxtapose these to create different points of entry into the field.
>
> The PhD fellowship is for 3 years and is placed in salary code 1017.
> PhD students are normally remunerated at wage level 41 on the
> Norwegian government pay scale, gross NOK 310.500 (or, about 40,000
> Euro) per year, of which 2% is deducted to the Norwegian government
> pension scheme. The fellowships are subject to current regulations for

> and to comply with the general conditions laid down for public
> officers in Norway. A contract of employment will be drawn up, which
> will specify the period of appointment and work-related duties.
>
> The focus of this PhD project is on 3D Collaborative Virtual
> Environments (CVEs) in education. The possible research topics
> include, but are not limited to:
> - 3D visualization of educational content
> - 3D simulations for educational purposes, e.g. in science courses
> - "Virtual campus" and virtual university
> - 3D CVEs and distance education
> - 3D CVEs and support for collaborative learning
> - 3D educational games
>
> These research topics should be considered in the context of the
> existing educational structures and plans and the overall development
> strategies at NTNU, as well as the objectives of LIKT and the
> Strategic Area of ICT. The applicant is requested to submit a project
> proposal addressing one or more relevant research topics. The proposal
> should especially focus on the
> interdisciplinary issues in connection with using 3D CVEs in an
> educational context.
>
> Relevant education as Master in Computer Science or Educational
> technology or equivalent is required. Experience with
> interdisciplinary projects and 3D Computer graphics is an advantage.
> Applicants must also satisfy the formal grades requirements for
> admission to the PhD studies at NTNU.
