News & Events of DEVELOP

With the growth of enterprise social networking services, social dimensions of work are getting more attention within the organisations. Beyond the use of the tools for collaboration, these services provide many other indirect benefits such as the possibility to determine the “Social Capital” of each employee.

The DEVELOP team recently hosted a consultation workshop on legal (privacy and data protection), ethical and social considerations for the DEVELOP system in London, September 2016.

In DEVELOP, we aim to study how computational social network analysis (SNA) can be used to evaluate and measure an individual’s social capital through evidence from virtual social network data.

On the 1st and 2nd of September the DEVELOP project and the Learnovate Centre welcomed the 6th annual Irish conference on Game Based Learning (IGBL) to Trinity College Dublin.

While predicting future behaviour is still just not possible, it has been the leitmotif in Human Resource Management for decades. Creating forecasts for ones’ job performance using dedicated psychological instruments has become the standard procedure in the recruitment and selection practice to reduce risks and maximise performance.
