Live @ the Exploratorium: The Faultline Project

9907707SemperThe Exploratorium将制作Live @ the Exploratorium: the faultline Project，一系列网络广播、相关互联网资源和博物馆活动，为公众提供一个互动的地震研究联系。该项目与美国国家科学基金会资助的研究工作合作进行，将科学家和专家与现场和在线观众联系起来，为公众提供直接体验地震研究并与该领域专家互动的机会。该项目旨在探索使用新的互动技术来建立地球科学研究与探索馆观众之间的联系，其中包括参观实地考察和使用探索馆互联网资源的普通公众。这个为期12个月的项目的目标是：利用创新的远程通信技术，从加利福尼亚断层的各个点制作一个多集的网络广播节目，其中地球科学专家和有趣的地质地点与博物馆游客和互联网游客远程连接，由探索博物馆的科学人员主持互动演示和讨论；和2。开发互联网内容，包括原始资料、互动式在线展览、网络直播档案和与其他网站的链接，使互联网用户能够获得有关地震的深入信息。探索馆将获得合作组织的支持，包括美国地质研究所、南加州地震中心、美国地质调查局和从事地震研究的地球科学家，以开发网络资源，制作远程科学研究站和地质构造的网络广播节目，并向广大公众推广该项目。评估将包括跟踪互联网访问者的使用模式和对有关教育价值的在线问卷的回答。该项目的结果将通过探索博物馆网站、伙伴组织以及在国家科学和博物馆会议上的报告进行传播。该项目将作为一个全面的网络广播项目的试点项目，将公众与世界各地的科学研究活动联系起来。

9907707SemperThe Exploratorium will produce Live @ the Exploratorium: The faultline Project, a series of Webcasts, related Internet resources, and museum activities that provide the public with an interactive connection to research on earthquakes. The project, conducted in partnership with NSF-funded research efforts, will link scientists and experts to on-site and online audiences, providing the public with the opportunity to directly experience seismic research and to interact with experts in the field. This project is intended to explore the use of new interactive technologies to develop a connection between geoscientific research and the Exploratorium's audiences, which include the general public visiting on field trips and using Exploratorium Internet resources. The objectives of the twelve-month project are 1. To produce a multi-episode Webcast program from points along California faults using innovative remote communications technology, in which geoscience experts and interesting geologic sites are remotely connected to museum visitors and Internet visitors for interactive presentations and discussions moderated by Exploratorium scientific staff; and 2. To develop Internet content, including original materials, interactive online exhibits, archives of the live Webcasts, and links to other sites, that enable Internet users to access in-depth information about earthquakes. The Exploratorium will enlist the support of partner organizations, including the American Geological Institute, the Southern California Earthquake Center, the U.S. Geological Survey, and geoscientists engaged in seismic research to develop Web resources, produce the Webcast programs from remote science research stations and geologic formations, and to promote the project to a wide public audience. Evaluation will include tracking Internet visitor patterns of use and responses to an online questionnaire regarding educational value. Results of the project will be disseminated through the Exploratorium Web site, to partner organizations, and through presentations at national science and museum conferences. The project will serve as a pilot project for a full-scale Webcast program linking the public with scientific research activities around the world.
