I am Amos (Huang, Chun-Chieh) and interested in Computer Science and Science Education. My major research interest is in the field of Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL). Based on my pervious work experience in multimedia design and educational background in communication, I would like to align my work with research results in the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI).
Recently I participate in a research project funded by National Science Council of Taiwan for investigating student’s scientific problem-solving ability in secondary and higher education. In the project, I am in charge of the design of user interface and visual analysis modules for an online open-ended testing system. In the future, I aim to devote myself to the development and study of collaborative learning environment.
