Abstract
|
|
|
|
This study was carried out to reduce children’s sugar, natrium and fat intakes and establish their healthy lifestyle. To achieve these goals, we developed an educational web site and an e-learning system. The targets of this web site are children, parents and educators. This site has various information about sugar, natrium and fat, and has special menus for each target: such as the ’Let’s study’ for children, ’Guides for child’s eating’ for parents, and ’Educational softwares, Lesson plans/materials, and Textbooks/Teaching guides’ for educators. We developed three nutrient characters and applied them to the web site. We provided information in the form of texts, images, flash and sounds. This site has special boards in ’Nutrition cafe’ menu to interchange information or their successful stories between the connecters. We developed an e-learning system with two courses. One is for junior elementary students and the other is for senior students. Children can study each nutrient step by step in a course according to their academic ability and concern. Also, they can evaluate their academic achievement in this system, which was uploaded into ’Let’s study’ in children menu in the web site. Conclusively this web site and e-learning system could contribute to reducing children’s sugar, natrium and fat intakes by helping children study them systematically and effectively by on-line system. We expect this e-learning system would be a new nutrition education system to make nutrition education more active.
