Let $u=\cos x$, then $du=-\sin x dx$
\[\int_0^1\frac{\sin x}{1+\cos ^2 x}dx=\int_{1}^{\cos 1}\frac{-du}{1+u^2}du=\int_{\cos 1}^{ 1}\frac{du}{1+u^2}du\]
\[=\arctan (u)|_{\cos 1}^{1}=\arctan (1)-\arctan (\cos (1)).\]

So the average value is
\[=\frac{\int_0^1\frac{\sin x}{1+\cos ^2 x}dx}{1-0}=\arctan (u)|_{\cos 1}^{1}=\arctan (1)-\arctan (\cos (1)).\]
