Outline of Final Research Achievements

To verify global media literacy education that utilized tablet computers, this study conducted a pilot study to create rubrics. The focus of this study was on international exchange programs related to the global media literacy education. At the same time, this study helped to promote international exchange programs as well as an understanding of inter-cultural education through exchange and production of video letters and digital storytelling using tablet computers at elementary, secondary, and university levels both in Japan and other countries.
The results of this study showed that elementary and junior high school children producing and editing video letters could accomplish this using only a tablet computer. In addition, this study also proved that using video letters for exchange programs between Japan and other countries promoted inter-cultural understanding as well as improved students’ various competencies of UNESCO’s objectives for Education for Sustainable Development.
