My name is Janice Whatley, a researcher at The Manchester Metropolitan
University.
I have been looking at the HCI aspects of multi-agent systems in the
areas of production control and air traffic control.
For my PhD research I am now turning my attention to applying software
agents and multi-agent systems to supporting groups of students doing
group projects, considering what aspects students need support for and
the best ways agents can help.
One interesting question is whether students need to meet face to face
in order to develop a trust in each other for succeeding in their group
project, or whether the purely practical part of such a project can be
effectively completed online?
I am looking forward to some interesting discussion and any help you
might feel you could offer.
Regards from Janice
