Our first IS Spring Seminar speaker is Dr. Matthew Ventura. His seminar presentation will be this Friday, January 21st from 12:00-1:00pm in STB 3303.
His talk is entitled: What makes a game good? (/or/ What makes a good game?)
Matthew is currently a visiting professor in the Instructional Systems program at FSU. Before coming to FSU he was the principle research director of the ETS Personal Potential Index (PPI). The PPI is designed to be the first personal attribute assessment to play a role in high stakes admission decisions in graduate school. Briefly, the PPI is a rating form for mentors (e.g., faculty or employers) to rate students on various personality attributes. Before working at ETS Matthew studied and worked at the Institute for Intelligent Systems (IIS) in Memphis, TN. The IIS conducts extensive analyses in artificial intelligence primarily focused on conversational agents for computer tutoring. At the IIS Matthew headed work on various education technology projects including AutoTutor, a conversational physics tutoring system. His dissertation focused on a dynamic natural language processing tool for scoring human constructed responses.
