Today, many elementary schools are starting to teach students to use the World Wide Web to gather information and to use it to make their own judgments. This is problematic with conventional Web information retrieval systems because they require entry of carefully chosen keywords to retrieve useful information. Pupils in particular have trouble identifying appropriate keywords due to their undeveloped ability to generalize concepts and to clearly specify for what they would like to search. They thus tend to receive a large number of irrelevant entries in their search results. Our research goal is to develop an easier way for pupils to access the World Wide Web and retrieve information. This will make the theme-based "investigative learning" approach currently being promoted at many Japanese elementary schools more effective.
We have thus developed a novel Web browsing system that enables the user to visualize the information on a Web page in a way that fits the way a pupil seeks information; i.e. they are curious and look around restlessly. By rendering the difficult structure of Web to the game metaphor which automatically extracts information from the Web and places it in a 3D space, enabling pupils to easily view the information while "driving through the 3D world"; i.e. they can visualize not only the target Web page, but also the "peripheral information" (that is, linked and other related pages) in the same 3D world. This makes the pupils aware of a wide variety of relevant Web pages, they will be able to understand the original meaning of the structure on the Web. According to reprise these tasks, pupils can achieve the intended objective of their task. |
