The title of his dissertation was \u201cA Conversational Agent enabled IDE for Novice Programmers\u201d. Within his MSc research the concept of using a Conversational Agent, (or \u2018A.I. chatbot\u2019), to assist novice programmers to edit code was piloted. The functional prototype utilised a Voice User Interface, (V.U.I.), that enabled the user to issue spoken instructions to the system. The users were able to phrase instructions in natural language instead of predetermined commands.\r\n\r\nThis area of research is being further developed at PhD level with Worcester University. Bradley\u2019s PhD research is focused on whether a VUI enabled Conversational Agent can assist novice programmers to debug code. The work aims to determine if A.I. assisted \u2018coaching\u2019 is perceived as a benefit to users when learning to debug code.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"abcfslItemCntrLst abcfslPadBMB30 abcfClrFix\" style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #1a1a1a;\"><div class=\"abcfslLstCol abcfslLstCol-2 abcfslImgColLst\"><div class=\"abcfslImgCntrLst abcfslMLRPc5\"><img decoding=\"async\"  src=\"https:\/\/digital-innovation.wbs.uni.worc.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Portrait_placeholder-e1678273390117.png\" class=\"abcfslImgBorder1 abcfslDShadow1\" alt=\"\" itemprop=\"image\" loading=lazy \/><\/div><\/div><div class=\"abcfslLstCol abcfslLstCol-10 abcfslTxtColLst\"><div class=\"abcfslTxtCntrLst  abcfslPadLPc5\"><p class=\"abcfslF20_6 MP-F1\"><span class=\"abcfslSpanMP2\">Ikjot <\/span><span class=\"abcfslSpanMP4\">Kaur <\/span><\/p><div class=\"abcfslMT10  abcfslF14 T-F2\">PhD student<\/div><div class=\"abcfslMT30  abcfslF16 PT-F6\">Ikjot Kaur is exploring the potential for AI to improve uptake of healthcare screening.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"abcfslMB15\"><div class=\"abcfslF28_6\">Associate Members<\/div><\/div><div class=\"abcfslGrpCntr\"><div class=\"abcfslItemCntrLst abcfslPadBMB30 abcfClrFix\" style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #1a1a1a;\"><div class=\"abcfslLstCol abcfslLstCol-2 abcfslImgColLst\"><div class=\"abcfslImgCntrLst abcfslMLRPc5\"><img decoding=\"async\"  src=\"https:\/\/digital-innovation.wbs.uni.worc.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/dr-colin-b-price.x253aec18-e1649347486502.jpg\" class=\"abcfslImgBorder1 abcfslDShadow1\" alt=\"\" itemprop=\"image\" loading=lazy \/><\/div><\/div><div class=\"abcfslLstCol abcfslLstCol-10 abcfslTxtColLst\"><div class=\"abcfslTxtCntrLst  abcfslPadLPc5\"><p class=\"abcfslF20_6 MP-F1\"><span class=\"abcfslSpanMP1\">Dr <\/span><span class=\"abcfslSpanMP2\">Colin <\/span><span class=\"abcfslSpanMP3\">B <\/span><span class=\"abcfslSpanMP4\">Price <\/span><\/p><div class=\"abcfslMT10  abcfslF14 T-F2\">Associate Lecturer in Computing<\/div><div class=\"abcfslMT10  abcfslF14 EM-F5\"><a href=\"mailto:c.price@worc.ac.uk\">c.price@worc.ac.uk<\/a><\/div><div class=\"abcfslMT30  abcfslF16 PT-F6\">Research interests:\r\nDesign and Development of Educational Immersive Environments using 3D Digital Technology\r\nPhysics Simulations using 3D Digital Technology\r\nTeaching Primary School Children to code in Java\r\nStory-Writing-Coding for Primary and Secondary Schools\r\nTechnology to help Special Needs students read and write<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"abcfslItemCntrLst abcfslPadBMB30 abcfClrFix\" style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #1a1a1a;\"><div class=\"abcfslLstCol abcfslLstCol-2 abcfslImgColLst\"><div class=\"abcfslImgCntrLst abcfslMLRPc5\"><img decoding=\"async\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.worcester.ac.uk\/images\/profiles\/felix-why.x316faa06.jpg?width=200\" class=\"abcfslImgBorder1 abcfslDShadow1\" alt=\"\" itemprop=\"image\" loading=lazy \/><\/div><\/div><div class=\"abcfslLstCol abcfslLstCol-10 abcfslTxtColLst\"><div class=\"abcfslTxtCntrLst  abcfslPadLPc5\"><p class=\"abcfslF20_6 MP-F1\"><span class=\"abcfslSpanMP1\">Dr <\/span><span class=\"abcfslSpanMP2\">Felix <\/span><span class=\"abcfslSpanMP4\">Why <\/span><\/p><div class=\"abcfslMT10  abcfslF14 T-F2\">Senior Lecturer , School of Psychology<\/div><div class=\"abcfslMT10  abcfslF14 EM-F5\"><a href=\"mailto:f.why@worc.ac.uk\">f.why@worc.ac.uk<\/a><\/div><div class=\"abcfslMT30  abcfslF16 PT-F6\">Felix\u2019s research interests include factors (e.g., personality, implicit cues, nudge) that predict and explain health and health behaviours and have also published research on behavioural change interventions.

With parents and colleagues, Kerry developed a parental early warning tool called the Congenital Heart Assessment Tool (CHAT), empowering parents to escalate worries and concerns by identifying signs of deterioration in their infant and making prompt contact with the appropriate health care professionals. Kerry is also interested in transforming lives of children and young people with CHD and their families, reducing health inequalities, and improving patient safety through knowledge mobilisation.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-38","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/digital-innovation.wbs.uni.worc.ac.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/38","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/digital-innovation.wbs.uni.worc.ac.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/digital-innovation.wbs.uni.worc.ac.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digital-innovation.wbs.uni.worc.ac.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digital-innovation.wbs.uni.worc.ac.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=38"}],"version-history":[{"count":111,"href":"https:\/\/digital-innovation.wbs.uni.worc.ac.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/38\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":670,"href":"https:\/\/digital-innovation.wbs.uni.worc.ac.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/38\/revisions\/670"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/digital-innovation.wbs.uni.worc.ac.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=38"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
