DR. BRUSILOVSKY RECEIVES WALTON AWARD |
||
This award will allow him to work over the summer on his research project, "Adaptive Systems for Web-Based Education: Architectures and Evaluation." In addition, Brusilovsky will serve as the director of a summer program on personalized E-learning. The E.T.S. Walton Visitors Award was created to honor the legacy of E.T.S. Walton, Ireland’s 1951 Nobel Laureate in Physics. The program, which annually supports 5-6 researchers, brings international investigators from academia and industry to Ireland to strengthen the country’s connections to the research community. Brusilovsky, honored to be a part of this remarkable group of researchers, has also been the recipient of the James S. McDowell Fellowship (US), the Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship (Germany), and the Royal Society Ex-Quota Fellowship (UK). Dr. Brusilovsky will return from Ireland in September. . |
