Recently, there has been much research to improve immersiveness and learning achievement using the edutainment that combines learning with game. However, from the viewpoint of instructors, there has been little research to solve technical difficulties and to reduce the authoring time in tailoring a game-type learning content. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an authoring tool, which enable instructors to tailor game-type learning contents reflecting their own preferences in spite of no backgrounds of technical skills. The authoring tool proposed has key features to hide authoring handicaps and reduce authoring time by providing the overall template for customized game-type learning contents based on template concept. To evaluate the effectiveness of the authoring tool, we applied it to teachers and elementary school students. From the evaluation, the result represented that instructors can make their own learning contents without being aware of technical problems within a short time. Also, the result showed that the learning achievement degree and immersive depth of students have been significantly improved.

Visual tactility implies feelings of touch through sight. To be exact, the eyes are doing the touch rather than the body and the subject concerned will experience the sensation of touch by looking at an object similar to that of physical touch. This is quasi tactility to put it simply and it can be defined as to touch with the eyes. This can not only provide opportunities to experience something close to reality but also another completely different form of modern experience. Experiencing visual tactility through the use of the web permits lavish communication between the user and the designer. This paper has reorganize the concept of visual tactility, characteristic and way to use in digital contents. Visual tactility stimulates the users' emotion as such. If it was to be utilized to develop edutainment contents or web sites will foster children's capability to develope problem solving skills and raise efficiency in creative learning, and prolong the period of concentration in order to encourage revisits to the place and extend the time of stay.

In this paper, we proposed a contents of Chinese characters learning based on gesture recognition using HMM(hidden markov model) algorithm. Input image of the system is obtained in 3-dimensional information from the TOF camera, and the method of gesture recognition is consisted of part of forecasting user's posture in two infrared images and part of recognizing gestures from continuous poses. In the communication between human and computer, this system provided convenience that user can manipulate it easily by not using any further equipment but action. Because this system raise immersion and interest by using two large display and various multimedia factor, it can maximize information transmission. The edutainment Chinese character contents proposed in this paper provide educational effect that use can master Chinese character naturally with interest, and it can be expected a synergy effect via content experience because it is based on gesture recognition.

Reincarnation, literally means "to be made flesh again". It is a mystical belief that the soul lives again in a new body after death. In this study, both material and spiritual elements are reincarnated in the form of the formative art in our life. This is similar to the notion of transmigration of the souls in Buddhism and Taoism. The concept "reincarnation"has a functional values as it provides a new tool in the education in the field. Especially in the digital design, the concept has become an essential contents as a text. The education employed the concept has a feature of edutainment which has been considered as an innovative method of education. The edutainment stimulates students' inner motivation and interests. This eventually leads them to use their own creativity in their study and achieve their goals. The education adopting the concept of reincarnation is more than the recycling of the used materials. It presupposes the understanding of the essence as well as the philosophical value of the materials. The creativity in the Visual Arts can be achieved with these educational foundations.

교육(Education)과 오락(Entertainment)의 합성어인 에듀테인먼트(Edutainment)는 학생이 학습을 하거나 기업의 종업원이 특정 능력을 익히는 데 사용되는 교육용 도구를 의미한다. 에듀테인먼트는 교육용 소프트웨어에 게임이나 친근한 인물과 음악, 이야기 등 오락성을 가미해 싫증을 느끼지 않고 즐기면서 교육적 효과를 거두고자 하는 목표를 지향하고 있다. 이러한 재미와 교육이라는 두가지 목표를 달성하기 위해 에듀테인먼트에 포함되는 디지털콘텐츠는 게임이나 e러닝의 콘텐츠와는 다른 차원의스토리텔링 기법이 요구된다. 이번호에서는 에듀테인먼트 콘텐츠에 적합한 퀘스트 스토리텔링(Quest Story telling)과 공간 스토리텔링(Spatial Storytelling)을 소개한다.

With the development of digital technology and the increasing demand for learning how to improve one's ability to solve problems through play and participation interactions, a variety of edutainment game contents are being developed. The edutainment game contents developed until recently have received a large number of contents for intelligence development and transfer of knowledge such as Korean and English mathematics for children and children. Recently, there have been various researches on the necessity and effect of STEAM education that foster convergent science and technology talents with comprehensive thinking ability and scientific inquiry spirit through the fusion education method among the subjects including science, technology, engineering, mathematics, And there is a growing need for the development of a parish suitable for STEAM education. However, there is a lack of STEAM educational content development that incorporates the technology of creative convergence talent training to develop talented people who can think and solve problems by crossing various academic boundaries. Therefore, this study develops game contents for early childhood education by combining STEAM education which foster convergent science and technology talents with comprehensive thinking ability and scientific inquiry spirit. And we designed and implemented STEAM game contents for infant learning education which can induce the interest of children and have fun by using gyroscope sensor of smartphone.

정보통신 기술의 발전으로 교육 패러다임이 스마트 디바이스를 이용하는 스마트 러닝으로 변화하고 있다. 특히 에듀테인먼트 시스템들은 암묵적 지식습득률 향상을 위하여 증강현실 기술을 도입한 다양한 시스템들이 도입되고 있다. 그러나 이와 같이 증강현실을 이용한 시스템들은 실환경의 조명과 가상환경의 조명환경의 부조화로 인하여 영상 합성시 실감성이 낮은 문제점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 증강 객체, 웹캠을 통해 입력된 영상, 가상의 배경 영역으로 구성된 단일 레이어를 3차원 조명환경 정보를 포함한 블록 레이어로 변환하고 변환된 블록 레이어를 합성하는 에듀테인먼트를 위한 증강현실 시스템을 설계한다.

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.

Transmedia storytelling is that a number of contents based on various media platform establish a world, and refereed as newly appeared mode in the age of digital convergence. Transmedia storytelling, each different media organically creates and produce various meaning to create a world, makes alteration in not just only producer's area but also consumer's area. The first property of Transmedia storytelling is joint producing in creation and intelligence collectiveness for enjoyment. The second property is the differentiation of story through crossover and combination, which offer new experience and penetration to consumers. As last property, it is the process of collecting and transpiring story by making relationship to establish that world. Such properties of Transmedia storytelling will act as an analysing base for transmedia contents establishing through various media platform.
