Coastal Quest: Developing a Learnscape Approach for Edutourism

这个计划项目寻求研究新的方法来利用家庭度假议程作为增加学习的机会。它将评估和制作各种项目开发活动的原型，这些活动与前往南卡罗来纳州格兰德斯特兰德沿海地区度假的家庭的室外和室内体验有关，并可能延伸到全国各地的其他类似度假地点。这种体验旨在促进家庭对沿海生态系统的了解。规划工作是大学和博物馆组织的专业人员与桃金娘海滩地区会议和游客局共同努力的结果。

This planning project seeks to study new ways to tap into family vacation agendas as opportunities for increased learning. It will assess and prototype a variety of program development activities related to outdoor and indoor experiences for families on vacation to the Grand Strand coastal region of South Carolina, and potentially to other such vacation spots around the country. Such experiences are intended to facilitate family learning about coastal ecosystems. The planning work is a collaborative effort among professionals in university and museum organizations along with the Myrtle Beach Area Convention and Visitors Bureau.
