Full Scale Development: Global Soundscapes! The Big Data, Big Screens, Open Ears Project

环球音景！大数据、大屏幕、打开耳朵项目使用新的声景生态科学来设计各种非正式的科学学习体验，通过声学发现吸引参与者参与声景生态是一门跨学科的科学，研究人类如何通过声音与地方联系，以及人类如何通过改变自然声音组成来影响环境。该项目包括：(1)与NSF资助的全球可持续声景网络的接口，该网络包括世界各地的12所大学；(2)针对中学生(5-8年级)、视障学生和城市学生以及普通公众的基于声音的学习体验；以及(3)非正式科学教育工作者的专业发展。项目教育组成部分包括：-第一次基于声音的交互式数字剧院体验；-亲身实践您的生态系统听力实验室(Yells)，这是一个为学校课堂和校外团体提供的1-2天的计划；-一个Soundscape数据库，将帮助研究人员开发Soundscape大数据库；以及-iListen，一个学习和发现Soundscape的虚拟在线门户网站。项目组包括普渡大学的研究人员，他们参与了声景和其他生态研究；屡获殊荣的教育媒体公司Foxfire Interactive；科学博物馆与数字剧院的合作伙伴；国家奥杜邦协会及其全国实地站网络；珀金斯盲人学校；以及多媒体研究(作为外部评估者)。

The Global Soundscapes! Big Data, Big Screens, Open Ears Project uses the new science of soundscape ecology to design a variety of informal science learning experiences that engage participants through acoustic discovery Soundscape ecology is an interdisciplinary science that studies how humans relate to place through sound and how humans influence the environment through the alteration of natural sound composition. The project includes: (1) an interface to the NSF-funded Global Sustainable Soundscapes Network, which includes 12 universities around the world; (2) sound-based learning experiences targeting middle-school students (grades 5-8), visually impaired and urban students, and the general public; and(3) professional development for informal science educators. Project educational components include: - the first interactive, sound-based digital theater experience; - hands-on Your Ecosystem Listening Labs (YELLS), a 1-2 day program for school classes and out-of school groups; - a soundscape database that will assist researchers in developing a soundscape Big Database; and - iListen, a virtual online portal for learning and discovery about soundscape. The project team includes Purdue-based researchers involved in soundscape and other ecological research; Foxfire Interactive, an award-winning educational media company; science museum partners with digital theaters; the National Audubon Society and its national network of field stations; the Perkins School for the Blind; and Multimedia Research (as the external evaluator).
