Development of information technology has contributed to information growth and the most contents include the vast of information we have today. The development also has promoted the shift from mass media characterized by a unidirectional flow to network media characterized by interactivity. In Earth Science Education, some educational materials have shifted from analog to digital and the interactive teaching can be achieved by using some network media. These changes essentially contribute to improve the learning effect. On the other hand, in some contents, the learners possibly have difficulties in information processing of huge amount of information provided with digital contents, or of a human error which is most likely to occur by an erroneous mental model. In this session, we will share the information of various kinds of contents concerning Earth Science education and discuss ways of effective teaching from the perspective of Information Design.
