| Outline of Research at the Start |
This research will create an assessment tool of participants’ understanding of, and empathy toward, Ainu; disseminating information on Ainu; and improving awareness and understanding of Ainu through online course materials incorporating mobile- and computer-assisted technology. Ultimately, the final product of this research will be a freely available resource to assist in the appreciation of Ainu knowledge, history, and culture.

| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Over the research period, the merits of providing online resources to aid Ainu language and culture education were investigated. Online resources could be accessed from any location and varying times so were found to be beneficial for those learning the Ainu language. The online Te Ataarangi Ainu class, continuing into its third year is considered an enormous benefit for participants committed to the revitalization of the Ainu language. The Shigeru Kayano Nibutani Ainu Museum Translation Project saw tertiary students use online tools and information to translate Japanese explanations of artifacts into English. Data collected regarding possible changes in empathy levels due to participation in the project will determine whether such research projects can help in improving awareness and understanding of Ainu. During the research period, 6 academic papers and 7 academic presentations were performed based on the research.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の直接的な社会的意義は、アイヌ語やアイヌ文化の存続と復興を願う関係者が、自身の探求や成果に関して実践し、研究し、議論する機会やプラットフォームをより多く得ることができることである。 プロジェクト参加による共感度の変化に関して収集したデータを分析することで、このような研究プロジェクトがアイヌに関する認識と理解の向上に役立つかどうか究明する。また博物館は、財政的な負担なく包括的な英訳を受け、高等教育機関の学生に博物館について周知し、また学生は博物館について学ぶこととなった。さらに海外からの博物館訪問者は、当該博物館の情報を英語で知ることができるようになることも社会的意義と言えよう。
