Digital Archiving of School Materials for Area-Based Learning: Educational Environment Using Digital Commons Service

 While GIGA schools are being implemented in schools across the country,  it immediately becomes apparent that there are very few online sources  of information about the community when trying to plan community  learning in schools. In particular, it is no exaggeration to say that  school district information sources are non-existent in most regions as  well. Furthermore, even if there are local resources, it is difficult  for teachers to utilize them due to their lack of experience and other  reasons.
In order to solve the above issues, we have worked on the construction  of a digital archive of school materials using the "d-commons method"  based on d-commons.net, a distributed digital commons service that can  inclusively support the independent and inquiry-based learning of  students that is required in school education from now on. Although  digitization of school materials is something that can be done, there  are barriers that prevent schools from recognizing and implementing this  issue. We hope that this barrier will be removed and that schools across  the country will be able to create local learning environments  appropriate for the DX era.
