Research Abstract |
The daily fixed time transmission system with solar generation power system is developed. Forest landscapes video data of beech forest, a second forest, artificial forest and weather monitoring data are transmitted by the transmission system with cellular phone data card every day, and the transmission is continued. A server serving a forest landscape video on Internet is developed, and serving forest videos is continued. There are two media on Internet, one is by podcasting, other is blog. (a) Every day forest landscape video by the Podcasting is broadcasting to the iTunes (PC) and the iPod, that is a mobile video and audio player. (b) Every day forest landscape video and some comments on the video are upload to a blog sever. An audience can access to those contents by PC on Internet or cellular phone. In this study, with targeting the audience who is on or is older than the third grade in primary schools, we aimed to make a prototype of multimedia contents for environmental education. We used video data from 1995 to 2007 from our video data archives and made them digitalized. we examined the effective program of these multimedia contents with children and those parents (around a hundred peoples) on 27th October 2007. There are useful methods such as watching the daily forest landscape video by cellular phone or PC with reading the blog comments those are described daily forest environmental phenology and weather phenomena, and using the printed video images as index of contents or checking more details about the forest landscapes with watching and listening the DVD. It is necessary for each content to be designed as complementarity for each other.
