Technological Ecosystem for Enhancing Multiculturality TEEM’16


IntroductionThe context of mobility and portability in education has produced a significant increase in recent times, both formal and informal settings.

In parallel, complementary tools such as Augmented Reality (AR) andMobile Pedestrian Navigation (MPN) have been favoured withincreasing the potential of mobile devices, with clear consequences,from the general area, for social processes and, in particular, toeducational processes.

The use of these technologies are framed within larger dimensions asare the Electronic Learning (e-learning) y el Mobile Learning (m-learning).

This study aims to determine the perception of students abouteducational processes related to the MPN and AR, framed within theterritorial presentation of information about the historical and culturalheritage.


Objectives and Hypothesis

• The objectives arising from the area of technology andeducational implementation, evaluating the process ofperception learning tools used in contexts m-learning and e-learning.

• The attitudes that students have the AR-MPN application in thecontext of m-learning /e-learning is studied, through a concreteexample of the territory and heritage.

• The absence of significant differences between the type ofresource used, and results in the assessment of the activitiesworked.

Strongly agree

ConclusionsIn summary, the general perception of students is around a nominal value“agree” all assertions arising from the instrument, resulting in a positiveoutcome from the field of satisfaction with the activity

Digital resources such as AR, pedestrian navigation and digital maps ondevices like tablets and computers, have demonstrated good acceptance bystudents in the learning processes of local content and assets.

In this research, the m-learning processes such as e-learning, achieve positiveperceptions, there were no statistically significant differences in contrastgroups.


Future lines of work arising from the reproducibility of this research, with theuse of the AR, the digital mapping and MPN in other thematic contexts, anddifferent student grades

Thank you very much for your attention
