The end of my master thesis is now quickly moving closer as there is about two weeks to the hand-in date (august 2nd). In the beginning of the week I finished the research phase of the report which of course will be the main part of the project. Since then I have been focusing on what all of this main research can be used for and how I can move towards the development of an actual strategy that I can present for Fokus Folkeoplysning.
Currently I am using benchmarking to compare the website of Fokus Folkeoplysning with older versions of the website and with other websites in order to see what ideas that can be used when I propose a suggestion and strategy for the future development of the website. Apart from this I need to write about what possibilities that I see for the website and how realizable they are which will be followed by a chapter where I develop the ideas and discuss how the content should be organized at the website before I develop the actual strategy and recommendations. Finally I will of course need to finalize the introduction to the report and write the discussion and conclusion. All in one I do indeed have quite some work to accomplish but I feel that it is possible to finish in a reasonable time and still have time for the final corrections without being overloaded.
Apart from this I am totally looking forward to being able to get at least a little summer holiday – it is frustrating that I have to sit indoor writing my thesis when it is nice weather and most of my friends are having their holiday. Furthermore the fact that it is summer also means that my supervisor is not available as much as much as I have been used to – I actually think it is a bad plan from the university that the master thesis students at the humanistic studies have to use the summer period for their master thesis where it becomes difficult for most students to get supervision in the end of their project where it might be much more important and needed.
Finally I just want to mention that my supervisor “Henrik Schärfe” has caught quite some attention in the media. Aalborg University have decided to start a research on the interaction with robots and in that relation it has been decided that a geminoid robot should be created which is a “visual” copy of my supervisor as illustrated in the post image. The geminoid robot will be able imitate many small movements like for instance those used in facial gestures. It is however still possible to see some difference. The research in Aalborg will focus on how the interaction between man and robot will be and how we will perceive this interaction. I find this research area very interesting and would have loved to be a part of some of it but as I am almost finished at the university and as this is not really related to my study I will just keep it as something that I find interesting
