Carbon Smarts Conference: Learning Climate Change Science Anywhere Anytime

马萨诸塞大学洛厄尔分校将于2011年秋季举办为期1.5天的会议，暂定名称为“在路上学习：使用户外媒体传播气候科学”。这次会议将在洛厄尔酒店和会议中心举行，将汇集气候科学、通信、户外媒体、社会科学、非正式和正式科学教育以及教育心理学方面的约125名专业人员和学生，目的是探索利用户外媒体向公众传播科学的机会，特别是气候变化科学。“户外媒体”被定义为当个人外出时能够接触到他们的任何类型的通信，包括移动媒体、广告牌、公共交通标语牌、海报等。其目的是考虑如何通过使这些媒体适应ISE的目标来扩大非正式科学教育及其对学习的影响。会议记录和主旨会议播客将在会议网站上提供。会议评估将由Arbor Consulting Partners进行。

The University of Massachusetts Lowell is conducting 1.5-day conference in the fall of 2011, tentatively titled "Learning on the Go: Using Out-of-Home Media to Communicate Climate Science." The conference, to be held at the Lowell Inn and Conference Center, will bring together approximately 125 professionals and students in climate science, communications, out-of-home media, social science, informal and formal science education, and educational psychology with the goal of exploring opportunities for applying out-of-home media to communicating science to the public, with a particular emphasis on climate change science. "Out-of-home media" is defined as any type of communication that reaches individuals while they are out of the home, including mobile media, billboards, mass transit placards, posters, etc. The intent is to consider how informal science education and its impacts on learning can be expanded via the adaptation of such media to the goals of ISE. Conference proceedings and podcasts of keynote sessions will be made available on a conference Web site. Conference evaluation will be conducted by Arbor Consulting Partners.
