Graduate student Michael Khoo
has been selected to receive one of three
Graduate Student Research and Creative Work Awards
given for 2003-2004. The award, which is determined by faculty review,
acknowledges outstanding research or creative work by CU-Boulder graduate
students across all disciplines.
Mick's research used ethnographic methods to study the design and development
processes of educational digital libraries, including the
Digital Library for Earth System Education
and the
Digital Water Education Library.
His results have informed library policies and systems, human-computer
interaction theory, and communications theory.
Each of the three award winners received a cash prize of $660 and their
research contributions are being formally acknowledged at an awards ceremony
on Wednesday, May 5, 2004 4:00pm-6:00pm in UMC 235.
Mick, a student in the
Department of Communication,
works as a graduate research assistant for Tamara Sumner
in the Boulder Learning Technologies Lab. The lab investigates how digital
library systems can transform science education from the dual perspectives
of library as cognitive tools and library as knowledge production networks.
Sumner also serves as Mick's PhD advisor along with
Michele Jackson of the Department of Communication.
