Multimedia Educational Library Overview
last update: Aug 03, 2010 02:44 PM
PCO has developed the content for a series of educational multimedia modules which it would like to have developed and made available to the public as well as through dedicated school networks. These modules can be freely embedded into any other website, hence create a viral learning and communication tool.
Description
PCO has developed the content for a series of mutimedia modules (>30) as part of its outreach, communication and education drive. These modules are mainly aimed at the youth (School children, K12) but will be done in such a way as to be applicable to all. The topics include:
- What is CO2 and how does CO2 impact the environment?
- What is Carbon / CO2 Exchange and how does it work?
- Why are the Polar Regions so important to the planet?
- How the worlds oceans reply on the Polar Regions (the heat pump)?
- The indigenous peoples and there habitats.
- Animals of the Arctic (North)
- Animals of the Antarctic (South)
- etc
Viral Effect & Technology involved
The multimedia modules will be developed and made available via the Animated Explanations Platform (www.animatedexplanations.com). This is a web2.0 technology platform which allows anyone to embed the modules on their own websites, thus creating a viral effect for the modules.
PCO has partnered with Instruxion the makers of the Animated Explanations platform to create a "Channel" with environmentally themed modules. See the PCO Channel.
How you can assist
Simply put sponsor a module (or more than 1). Each sponsored module will have a "this module was made possible by..." type message at the end. Hence there is space for companies and organisations to sponsor one or more modules and in return be gain exposure not only on the PCO website, but also via the module on many other sites that embed the module..
