Abstract

The ubiquity of mobile computing devices, such as phones and tablets has led to their increased use in education. The ability of these devices to augment physical spaces with additional content shows particular promise to enable the creation of guided and learner driven learning experiences. In this paper, we introduce Trailblazer, a software framework that allows non-programmers to create rich augmented reality experiences. The framework allows for activities that are composed tasks that include a mixture of information transmission and knowledge testing through a multi-modal experience. A case study is presented demonstrating the framework in the cultural heritage space with Year 5 integrated curriculum
