The Sun Earth Moon System: Connecting Science and Informal Learning
Abstract
This chapter focuses on the issues pertaining to informal science learning through public outreach and the utilization of established and evolving web technologies. The Sun Earth Moon System (SEMs) is a website that integrates webcasting with Web 2.0 features to increase public awareness and interest in natural sciences as well as to dispel the stereotype that science is boring. The SEMs website provides live video webcasts of solar and lunar eclipses and planet transits streamed from various locations around the world as part of a web-based public outreach program. The SEMs project aims to offer the general public a realistic experience and evoke the spirit of excitement felt by being a part of a global community witnessing rare astronomical events. The purpose of the chapter is to explore webcasting and design strategies, such as the incorporation of social media elements, that can assist in the development of a science-oriented educational website.
