Abstract

Building from literature connected to mobile learning and sense of place, this study explores the influence of place on families' experiences while using a mobile augmented reality app about pollinators that was designed to be used in outdoor spaces. From the second data collection of a design-based research study with nine families, we investigated the difference between two families' experiences completing the app at home or at a local park. This analysis demonstrates how families' sense of place interacts with the design of mobile augmented reality applications to influence the connections they make with their local outdoor settings and communities. Further attention to the sociocultural and political elements of sense of place within the design of a mobile augmented reality app could potentially help foster ecological stewardship actions and behaviors.
