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.

在这个面向公众的传播研究项目中，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多样性、公平和社区参与办公室合作，正在通过他们的NSF研究奖-参与性软件系统的元设计框架-建立在他们所做的工作的基础上，在这个项目中，他们一直在开发参与性软件系统(PPS)和软件的应用。Soundscape社区将在项目中使用新开发的移动计算和协作地图技术，帮助用户获得更多洞察力，并参与他们生活和访问的共享环境。Sound Camera是一款配备GPS地图软件的数字录音设备，用户可以在探索城市、公园和其他环境时收集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、注释和分享录制声音的地方的音景。将开发一个网站来扩大项目？S接触到不在博尔德计划中的观众。将通过科罗拉多州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的识字，并让公众参与有益于环境教育的个人有意义的活动(认知目标)和扩大环境意识(情感目标)。项目工作及其评估过程(Wells Resources，Inc.)旨在推进与PSS有关的非正式科学教育领域，并研究这些新技术可能如何影响不同受众喜欢拥有的各种体验的转变。
