Community of Soundscapes - Expanding Environmental Awareness through Capture and Sharing of Sonic Experiences

DRL-0823670 PI：Elisa Giaccardi摘要在这个向公众传播研究的项目中，科罗拉多大学博尔德分校与科罗拉多大学自然历史博物馆、博尔德市开放空间和山地公园、科罗拉多大学博尔德分校多样性、公平和社区参与办公室合作，在他们通过NSF研究奖所做工作的基础上，参与式软件系统的元设计框架，他们一直在开发参与式软件系统（PPS）和软件的应用程序。 音景社区将在项目中采用新开发的移动的计算和协作地图技术，帮助用户获得更深入的见解，并对他们居住和访问的共享环境进行投资。 Sound Camera是一种配备了GPS地图软件的数字记录设备，允许用户在探索城市、公园和其他环境时收集他们的声音体验的音频片段，并通过Web 2.0应用程序将其在线上传到数字地图上。 然后，他们可以创作，注释和分享声音录制地点的音景。 将开发一个网站来扩大该项目？让我们接触到博尔德节目之外的观众。 将通过科罗拉多环境教育联盟为合作者提供专业发展培训。 教育目标是促进PSS的扫盲，并使公众参与有益于环境教育（认知目标）和扩大环境意识（情感目标）的个人有意义的活动。 项目工作及其评估过程（由威尔斯资源公司提供）旨在推进非正式科学教育领域的PSS，并研究这些新技术如何影响各种受众更喜欢的体验。

DRL- 0823670PI: Elisa Giaccardi ABSTRACTIn this Communicating Research to Public Audiences project, the University of Colorado at Boulder, in partnership with the University of Colorado Museum of Natural History, the City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks, the CU- Boulder Office of Diversity, Equity and Community Engagement, is building on the work they have done via their NSF research award, A Meta-Design Framework for Participative Software Systems, in which they have been developing participative software systems (PPS) and applications of the software. Community of Soundscapes will employ newly developed mobile computing and collaborative mapping technology in programs that help users gain greater insights and stake into the shared environment in which they live and visit. Sound Camera, a digital recording device outfitted with GPS mapping software, allows users to collect audio clips of their sonic experiences as they explore their cities, parks and other environments and upload them online onto a digital map through a Web 2.0 application. They can then compose, annotate, and share soundscapes of the places where the sounds were recorded. A Web site will be developed to expand the project?s reach to audiences not in the Boulder programs. Professional development training will be provided for collaborators and through the Colorado Alliance for Environmental Education. The educational goals are to promote literacy of PSS and engage the public in personally meaningful activities that benefit environmental education (cognitive goal) and expand environmental awareness (affective goal). The project work and its evaluation processes (by Wells Resources, Inc.) are intended to advance the field of informal science education with respect to PSS and to study how these new technologies might affect shifts in the kinds of experiences various audiences prefer to have.
