Community of Soundscapes - Expanding Environmental Awareness through Capture and Sharing of Sonic Experiences

DRLπ- 0823670:在这个面向公众的交流研究项目中，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，正在建立他们通过国家科学基金会研究奖所做的工作，参与式软件系统的元设计框架。他们一直在开发参与式软件系统（PPS）和软件的应用程序。Community of soundscape将采用最新开发的移动计算和协作地图技术，帮助用户更深入地了解他们生活和访问的共享环境。声音相机是一种配备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展该项目？而不是在博尔德的节目中。将通过科罗拉多环境教育联盟为合作者提供专业发展培训。教育目标是提高PSS的素养，让公众参与有益于环境教育（认知目标）和扩大环境意识（情感目标）的个人有意义的活动。该项目的工作及其评估过程（由Wells Resources， Inc.完成）旨在推进非正式科学教育领域与PSS相关的领域，并研究这些新技术如何影响不同受众喜欢的各种体验的转变。

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.
