In this study, we developed a virtual artist play lesson model using gamification concepts and AI-generated art programs to foster creative thinking in freshman art majors. Targeting first-year students in the Digital Media Art Department at Sichuan Film & Television University in China, this course aims to alleviate fear of artistic creation and enhance problem-solving abilities. The educational model consists of four stages: persona creation, creative writing, text visualization, and virtual exhibitions. Through persona creation, students established their artist identities, and by introducing game-like elements into writing experiences, they discovered their latent creativity. Using AI-generated art programs for text visualization, students gained confidence in their creations, and in the virtual exhibitions, they were able to enhance their self-esteem as artists by appreciating and evaluating each other's works. This educational model offers a new approach to promoting creative thinking and problem-solving skills while increasing learner engagement and interest. Based on these research findings, we expect that by developing and implementing educational strategies that cultivate creative thinking, more students will grow their artistic capacities and creativity, benefiting not only art majors but also students from various fields.

Virtual world is persistent 3D(2D) space through computers which supports real-time interaction. Children's virtual worlds are for children below 15. Its educational benefits are: practical experience, cooperation possibility, experience sharing, and optimized environment. Moreover, interesting factors from games can enhance the educational efficiency of virtual worlds. In order to intensify the educational efficiency, goal, motivation, relationship and advice has to be considered as well. Based upon those factors, the result of analysis of current virtual worlds shows that they have clear goal. contextualization of task and appropriate reinforcement. However, for future prosperity, continuous effort for expansion of readiness, social persuasion, scaffolding are needed.

IT서비스 기술이 융 복합 형태의 모습으로 다양하게 발전하면서 콘텐츠를 사용함에 있어 새로운 방식의 인터페이스들이 나타났다. 본 논문은 기존의 단순한 인터페이스인 키보드와 마우스를 벗어나 사람의 모션을 인식하여 게임, 교육, 음악 등 다양한 분야를 컨트롤할 수 있는 립모션을 활용한 에듀테인먼트 콘텐츠를 제작하였다. 콘텐츠 방식은 학습을 단계별로 진행하고 글자 맞추기, 글씨쓰기 등 게임을 하여 정답을 맞추면 점수를 획득하는 방식이다. 제작한 에듀테인먼트 콘텐츠는 단순한 교육이론 학습이 아닌 학습자가 직접 체감할 수 있어 더욱 학습효과의 극대화가 가능하다.

Times have changed and using smart phones is common to everyone, regardless of men and women of all ages. Especially, making educational applications is on a rising trend. This report aims to build a program, which makes young children easily meet and learn Hangul anytime, anywhere, to keep pace with the change and trend. As everyone knows, young children's Hangul learning process is changing with smart phone generalization. Young children usually learned Hangul based on paper books but now times have changed, instead, smart phones can be used to learn Hangul anytime, anywhere, and this trend is seen everywhere easily. This report explains how to build smart phone applications to make it easier to learn and understand educational Hangul plays.

After the release of SDK in 2011, Kinect developed for the motion recognition games has been applied not only in game but also in various fields such as science, education, and health care. It has some problems as belated responses to player's movements, a lot of noise in the recognized data, and an untraceable player when the body is partially occluded. Because of Kinect's such peculiarities of playing environment, most Kinect games require the inconvenience of Kinect's location or player's posture correction. In this paper, we propose an interface correction method that minimizes the requirements to be asked players, manages the exceptions such as noise, and enables to process consistently the player's movements in the game using Kinect. Also, we present the delay time to be considered to develop the game using Kinect through the experiment.

본 논문에서는 실시간 대화 행위에서 대화 메시지 사이의 응답 관계를 시각적으로 표현하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 기존 텍스트 기반 대화 방식과 트리 기반 대화 방식을 결합한 형태로서 대화 메시지의 일반적인 응답 관계뿐만 아니라, 기존 트리 기반 인터페이스에서 지원이 어려운 최근 수신 대화 메시지의 응답 관계를 시각화함으로써 대화자의 상호작용을 용이하게 한다. 이러한 방법은 기존 텍스트 방식의 테이블 구조에 트리 구조를 결함하여 대화에서 응답 관계를 명확히 구분한다. 제안한 방법의 구현은 XML과 DOM을 이용하여 대화 메시지와 대화 시스템을 구현하였으며, 응용 분야는 협업, 원격 교육, 온라인 게임 등이다.

The purpose of Serious games in immersive Metaverse platform to provide users both fun and intriguing learning experiences. We proposes a serious game for self-trainable fire evacuation drill with collaboration among avatars synchronized with multiple trainees and optionally with real-time supervising placed at different remote physical locations. The proposed system architecture is composed of wearable motion sensors and a Head Mounted Display to synchronize each user's intended motions to her/his avatar activities in a cyberspace in Metaverse environment. The proposed system provides immersive as well as inexpensive environments for easy-to-use user interface for cyber experience-based fire evacuation training system. The proposed configuration of the user-avatar interface, the collaborative learning environment, and the evaluation system on the VR serious game are expected to be applied to other serious games. The game was implemented only for the predefined fire scenario for buildings, but the platform can extend its configuration for various disaster situations that may happen to the public.

Purpose: This study examined the status and needs of school-based nutritional education programs for reducing sugars intake in elementary schools. Methods: A total of 230 elementary nutrition teachers participated in this study through an online survey in July 2017. Results: Approximately one-third of the schools conducted nutrition education on reducing sugars intake as a main topic. The most frequent educated grade and education period were $4^{th}$ and $3^{rd}$ grade, and once a year. Most of the nutrition teachers answered that nutrition education related to reducing sugars intake for children was necessary. The nutrition teachers answered that first graders were the recipients in most need of nutrition education for reducing sugars but, realistically, third graders were the most suitable for nutrition education. The appropriate education topics were limited to the lower grades, such as sugars consumption related health problems, foods containing high sugars, and behaviors to reduce sugars intake; however, a wider variety of topics were selected for the upper grades. The experiment was considered to be an effective educational method for both the lower and upper grades. The most appropriate nutrition education media appeared to be a mock-up in the lower grades, and an experiment kit in the upper grades. Games and videos were highly considered to be effective media to educate students in reducing sugars consumption by voluntary participation in free time in the classroom in both the lower and upper grades. Conclusion: Nutrition education programs focusing on sugars intake reduction were conducted in some elementary schools, but the training time was short and the types of activities were limited. The perception and demand for nutrition education was very high. Therefore, the development and dissemination of elementary school-based nutritional education programs for sugars intake reduction is urgently needed. Moreover, to develop an effective nutrition education program, the education environment and demand in the field should be fully considered.
