Daniel K. Schneider

Formally, I hold a system engineer position in our unit and I am in charge our computational infrastructure (but do in no way any real systems engineering). My work is devoted about 1/4 to administration (systems, buying and/or installing programs, maintaining the WWW and MOO servers,...), 1/4 to technology prospection (currently CMC), 1/4 to real research, 1/4 to teaching. You may call me a technical research associate.

En français: Ingénieur système, spécialiste en "intelligence artificielle et sciences sociales", technologies de l'éducation et outils Internet pour la recherche et l'éducation. A collaboré à plusieurs projets au sein de la FPSE à Genève dans le domaine de l'IA, maintient ce serveur, etc.

Current Research Interests

Computer Mediated Communication, Information Systems and Virtual Worlds: See e.g. the WWW '94 Conference Workshop: Teaching & Learning with the Web (co-organizer) - the The TecfaMOO Page * The WWW in Education (Abstract and Slides for FLISH95) * The WWW, A Distributed Hypermedia over Internet (Paper written for Learntec 94) * The World-Wide Web in Education (paper written for the Andrea Newsletter). * Réseaux et Environnements Virtuels pour l'Education et la Recherche (Slides PS Format)
Cooperative Work: See for example Collaborative learning and the Internet * the The TecfaMOO Page (MUDs are cooperative environments almost by definition) *
Advanced Learning Environments (AI & Ed): See e.g. the the Memolab Project and one of the Overview Reports.

Note: For obvious reasons I try to keep our server as multi-media & extension free as possible, so after a few month of useless fun, background is back to none. Under construction: Kaspar's Kids page
