Abstract
It is important to address the history of information as a foundation for information education. While the history of information generally focuses on the development of computers, it is also valuable to explore it from the perspective of information heritage including past records. It is challenging to understand the history of information heritage through web resources alone, therefore hands-on experiences prove to be useful in information education by seeing, touching, and operating with actual items. In this study, we aim to exhibit the information heritage we have collected so far, linking these exhibits to the web, and to build an information heritage gallery where visitors can see, touch, and operate the exhibits while receiving web-based explanations. The gallery will configure two learning flows: one where visitors understand the explanations and the 3D models displayed via WebAR after imaging markers placed beside the exhibits; and another where visitors see, read and listen to detailed photos and explanations of the exhibits on the web. This approach will enhance the usefulness of the education we have provided in teacher training at both undergraduate and graduate levels, as well as in-service training for teachers.
