Objective
CHIMER aims to establish an open international network of children, teachers and museologists for developing an Open Evolving Multimedia Multilingual Digital Heritage Archive as a long-term storage medium for European cultural repositories. The work of children will be based on CHIMER Cognitive eLearning Method, which enhances children using new creative tools, such as PCs, digital cameras, GPS, video cameras for video streaming and webcameras to support their creativity. The content of the Digital Archive will be in Java runtime environment and Flash enable and linked to E-map developed by CHIMER (vectorial digital map with geographic information data collected by GPS device) and retrievable through 2 CHIMER applications - E-guide & M-guide (new generation tools for accessing and exploiting multimedia information based on Web, WAP, GPRS and UMTS technologies, Symbian Platform & EPOC programming software).
Objectives:
1.Establishing an open international network of schools, children and public institutions to produce sustainable mass of information necessary for developing the Evolving Digital Heritage Archive as a storage medium for European Cultural repositories;
2.Introducing eLearning by developing an innovative paperless direct "touch and learn" cognitive learning method based on a combination of use of the technology and content management;
3. Involving children in developing the new generation of platforms and tools, such as E-map, E-guide and M-guide;
4. Combining available Internet, GPS and GIS technologies to develop interfacing and user access tools adapted to evolving 3G networked multi.
Work description:
Work is split up into 8 workpackages. The first three months will be devoted to evaluation and comparing the state of the art of technology and IT skills of children in participating countries. On the basis of this evaluation the common rules for the cognitive learning method will be established and applied during the development of CHIMER. The next stage will be to create the E-map by collecting geographical heritage data by GPS. The co-ordinates and the route between selected repositories will be merged with vectorised map. The E-map will then be linked to the digital data created by children, teachers, and museologists. The information related to cultural repositories will be created in text, audio and video streaming format and organised in multiple databases. All the information, including the E-map will work in Java runtime environment and flash compatible with WAP, GPRS, UMTS technologies. CHIMER technical partners will then develop a Common Heritage Portal, the Common Open Evolving Multilingual Digital Heritage Archive. Part of the portal will be the application called E-guide as a tool for retrieving data. CHIMER will develop a new generation tool for accessing and exchanging the data from the Digital Heritage Archive content.
It will be the M-guide, a multimedia multilingual application for mobile devices. Technical partners will make sure that all the information is created in an appropriate format making a distinction between the generic technology used in any wireless information device, and the graphical user interface tailored for a particular smartphone or communicator design. From month 18 all the results of CHIMER will be tested and evaluated by the new partner who will implement them in their own environment. The achievements will be disseminated by 2 main deliverables, Travelling Exhibition & Didactical Unit. Permanent feedback will obtained from the "Observatory Group", from eForums and CHIMER European network.
Milestones:
1.Cognitive eLearning Methodology-platform for teaching children of CHIMER how to use IT and how to develop common CHIMER tools;
2.E-map-digital vectorial map with geographic heritage data collected by GPS devices;
3.Open Evolving Multilingual Multimedia Digital Heritage Archive-medium of long term storage of cultural repositories;
4.E-guide & M-guide new tools for accessing, upgrading & exploiting data of the Digital Heritage Archive, based on WAF, GPRS and UMTS technologies.
