みなさん、こんにちは！
グローバル観光学科の専任教員であるエリック・ハーキンソン先生が来月半ばにアメリカ合衆国テキサス州オースティンで開かれる大衆文化に関する世界最大級のイベント、South by Southwestに参加し、発表される予定です。
本イベントでは、ハーキンソン先生のご専門であるAR(仮想現実)の観光と教育分野での活用について、講演をされるほか、当該テーマでのコンテストにもエントリーされます。
ご講演の内容の一部は、この春からハーキンソン先生が担当される「ゲームにもとづく観光」、「ニューメディア実習」といった授業でも取り扱われる予定です。
ハーキンソン先生はテキサス州でのご発表のあと、マレーシアのクアラルンプールでもこうしたテクノロジーに対する関心が高まるアジアの教育者を対象とした国際会議に日本代表として参加されるとのこと。

KUFS Global Tourism Faculty Eric Hawkinson will be representing the department at one of the worlds most attended events on popular culture in the world. South by Southwest (abbreviated as SXSW and colloquially referred to as South By) is an annual conglomerate of film, interactive media, and music festivals and conferences that take place in mid-March in Austin, Texas, United States. It began in 1987, and has continued to grow in both scope and size every year. In 2017, the conference lasted for 10 days with SXSW interactive lasting for five days, music for seven days and film running concurrently for nine days. Comedy and gaming components to the festival are particularly fast-growing.
Eric will be speaking at the event as well as entering into some immersive education design competitions. He will be speaking on his work in immersive learning environments, mostly the use of augmented reality for education and tourism. The talk is titled The Augmented Learner: Automating Human Inquiry - a direct link to the information found here.
These topics will be introduced in two classes in which Eric will teach for the department of tourism this spring called 'Game Based Tourism' and 'New Media Lab' where students will learn about how game theory and technology might be utilized in tourism development in the future.
Eric also was invited to an event in Singapore last year to talk about this very same topic. Here is an interview from that event.
After his talk at SXSW in Texas, Eric will be headed to Kuala Lumpur to represent Japan at an educational leadership conference. Educators from around Asia are becoming increasingly interesting in augmented and virtual technologies for educational purposes.
