Childhood obesity has rapidly increased worldwide and is one of the most serious health problems in this age group. In order to prevent and manage childhood obesity, we developed a nutrition education website. The website consisted of three parts. The first part was made for self-assessment with regard to obesity index, dietary habits, food frequency, dietary attitude, nutrition knowledge, nutrient intake, energy expenditure, and the stage of behavioral change, and tailored messages and advice according to the assessment results. A total of 612 real-size food photos as well as a nutrient database of 3,346 foods and 541 dishes were created to help children estimate nutrient intakes accurately. In addition, an energy expenditure database of 156 activities for children was established to calculate calorie consumption. The second part was made for setting long-term and short-term goals and keeping track of the changes in energy intake and expenditure in one's own page. The third part was made for education. Various types of nutrition information were provided; texts, pictures, calculators and games. The readability and design of the website were evaluated by 46 obese children. Usefulness, design and readability of the website were found to be desirable for children. This website is expected to be used by an obese child alone or with parents or nutrition teachers in order to control body weight through healthy dietary habits and physical activities. In addition, a non-obese child can also use this website for maintaining healthy dietary habits and preventing obesity.

Gamification is an important technology for the museum experience in the future, but there is a lack in both its application and academic studies in Korea. Therefore this study targets the technical strategies of museum gamification by studying domestic and international cases. For this purpose, this study analyzes and compares the cases as personalization, and audience interaction of museum experience and sees how the structure of the digital program affects the museum experience in detail by applying MDA framework to the comparisons. For visitors' active interaction with the museums, gamification should be designed in a way to contribute to visual expression of self identity, utilization of the museum space, constructivist learning free from limit on space and time, and interaction with other people.

As the number of the elderly increases, concerns about senile dementia and serious game for dementia are growing. The purpose of this study is to explore the types of attitude toward senile dementia. To identify public attitudes toward senile dementia, we conducted Q methodology. A Q set of potential public attitudes toward senile dementia was identified through literature review. From this, 52 potential public attitudes toward senile dementia were identified. Twenty subjects ranked these explanations as possible public attitudes. The attitudes toward senile dementia were classified as 4 types : 'type1 : idealistic & expectant', 'type 2 : aversive & defensive', 'type 3 : active & realistic', and 'type 4 : responsible & compensatory'. This study revealed that people have different explanatory frameworks for the attitude toward senile dementia.

This study aims to analyze the causes of Internet hate speech, which has recently been emerging as a serious social problem and to seek for countermeasures. The experiences of hate speech are examined through the analysis of college students' essays and the causes and solutions of hate speech are suggested through the in-depth interviews with the experts. College students experience hate speech on the Internet on the basis of attributes such as age, gender, sexual orientation, and regionalism. Online comments on news, social media and online games are the main sources in spreading hate speech. On a personal level the lack of awareness of human dignity and the absence of media education are diagnosed as the reasons for online hate speech. The social reasons for online hate speech lie in the lack of human rights education and the problems of the media. In order to improve the problems of Internet hate speech, various suggestions are proposed on the legal, social and educational levels.

Although people's anxiety about the environmental problem has been getting higher, they are not provided good quality of knowledge about the environment. Based on this situation, Ecoblog can be a new type of online community to educate the public in ecological knowledge. Especially, Ecoblog can be utilized as a method of "preventive education", and it will contribute to reduce great amounts of environmental budget to restore contaminated environment to previous condition. Ecoblog also utilizes the concept of blog which user can create and append their site with chosen themes. A weblog or a blog is a non-commercial webpage regularly updated through the use of a blogging software which allows the user to "publish" kinds of amalgamations of text and graphics to the page as posts. The technology offered in Ecoblog is utilizing the concept of 4D place and game metaphor in order to provide users the sense of participation, interaction and immersion among them and the growing community. Thus, it requires applying the CAAD technology by implementing semantically well-defined building data model as a core database to create a 4D virtual community. This research focuses on defining a 4d spatial framework suitable for developing an online ecological community. Through our study, the state-of-the-art of online community has been studied at the first step. Second, the scenario of using EcoBlog described with content, visualization and navigation are defined based on the critical features derived at the first step. Finally, a 4d spatial framework composed of semantic building data model, content and rule database is constructed to propose factors that are necessary to establish an ecological virtual community. In conclusion, our framework could enhance the comprehension and interaction between users and virtual buildings in the ecological community by integrating the concept of game design, 4D CAD and semantic data model. Such framework can be applied to any online community for an educational purpose.

게임의 교육적 목적으로의 활용에 대해 관심이 늘고 있다. 이러한 흐름에도 불구하고 교육 분야에서 교육용게임의 채택은 더딘 편이다. 교육용게임의 채택과 확산을 위해서는 교육용게임을 교육을 위해 선택할 수 있는 정보를 학습자와 학부모, 교사들에게 제공해 주는 것이 중요하다. 교육용게임의 효과성평가는 게임의 교육적 효과 및 가능성을 알려줄 수 있기 때문에 교육용게임의 채택과 확산을 위한 중요한 역할을 할 수 있다. 하지만 기존의 효과성평가방법을 사용한 연구는 학부모와 같은 의사결정권자에게 신뢰받지 못하고 있어, 교육용게임의 확산에 도움을 주지 못하고 있다. 뿐만 아니라 기존모형을 사용한 효과성평가 결과는 개발자들에게 게임개선을 위한 자료로서 활용할 수 없게 되어 있어 개발을 위한 개선자료로서 활용하지 못하고 있다. 따라서 교육용게임을 확산시키기 위해서는 기존의 효과성 연구방법개선 또는 수정하는 것이 요구된다. 본 연구는 기존의 교육효과성모형을 교육용게임개발을 이루고 있는 두 이론적 배경인 게임설계이론과 학습이론에 근거하여 기존 효과성평가방법의 문제점을 살펴보고 두 이론에서 공통적인 요소를 도출하여 게임에서 학습결과와 과정을 모두 평가하는 개선된 평가모형을 제안하였다. 기존의 효과성평가가 단순히 학습량을 측정하여 단순하게 효과성의 유무만 보여주고 있다면, 개선된 모형은 효과성 유무와 함께 게임에서 학습의 과정을 보여줌으로서 게임의 관찰 가능한 효과성을 보여줌으로서 혁신의 확산을 촉진할 수 있는 지각된속성(Perceived Attributes)에 대한 정보를 효과성평가의 결과로서 제공할 수 있다. 본 연구는 기존의 모형을 학부모 교사와 같은 교육 분야의 사람과 게임기획자 와 같은 개발자가 모두 만족 할 수 있는 결과를 보여 주는 효과성평가 모형으로 개선하였다는데 의의를 둘 수 있다. 이러한 연구를 통해 교육현장에서 교육용게임의 채택과 확산에 기여 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
