> > This is a call for jurors for the Arts and Humanities section of the

> > What does a juror do?
> > ---------------------
> >
> > You would receive two or three entries to evaluate - plus guidance on what
> > is required. You would examine the software and it associated
> > documentation and evaluate its usefulness. Then you would fill in an
> > evaluation form for the software.

> > What disciplines are covered?
> > -----------------------------
> >
> > The Arts and Humanities section covers Visual Art, Design, Music,Theatre
> > Arts, History, Social History, Literature etc (as one would expect!)
> > Needless to say, you may be asked to look at entries that are not in your
> > own specialist area. That is OK, because there should be a specialist
> > looking at it too.
> >
> > Is there a deadline for the work?
> > ---------------------------------
> >
> > Yes - and it's quite soon! So this fascinating opportunity will not take
> > up all of your summer!
> >
> > What reward is there?
> > ---------------------
> >
> > Well, like virtue, much of the reward lies in the job itself! I have been
> > a juror in the past and it really is interesting to see the very latest in
> > educational software, to try it out and to comment on its value
>and quality.
> >
> > Some jurors will be also invited to the final stage of the competition, in
> > the Netherlands (in November).

> > European?
> > ----------
> >
> > Yes. Entries are from many European countries, and we are looking for
> > jurors from as many countries as possible as each entry will be judged by
> > more than one juror and in more than one country. In the Arts and
> > Humanities section there are entries that require jurors who are happy to
> > work with Dutch, with English, or with German. Knowledge of other
> > languages or other countries' HE systems is an added bonus.

> > What happens next?

> >
> > If you are interested in finding out more please get in touch as soon as
> > possible. If you have postgraduate students who would be interested,
> > please get them to contact us similarly. If you know of any mailing list
> > in the Arts or Humanities, please fell free to forward this call. If you
> > have contacts or colleagues in European universities who might be
> > interested, please pass the message on to them.

> > This is an exciting and worthwhile event in the academic calendar - your
