This document discusses the design, implementation, and evaluation of a model for augmented reality and pedestrian navigation to promote learning about territorial heritage. The researchers aim to develop software using iOS frameworks to allow location-based presentation of heritage and territorial content for situated mobile learning. Their methodology involves collecting documentation to establish a theoretical basis, designing an evaluation tool, developing the PNS-AR software, and analyzing the collected data. The researchers expect the customizable PNS-AR software to benefit informal learning, digital mapping, and information access while promoting a more effective form of heritage education compared to other methods.

2. Introduction
Recent advances in the technological development of mobile devices
make possible the use of new learning environments-particularly the
Mobile Learning or m-learning
Now, the mobile systems can create models and digital representation
of the territory and its features, creating graphic user interface adequate
to situated learning in spatial contexts with particular meanings and
facts situations.
User/learner can search and download any materials in his/her mobiles
devices without time and space limitations, and what more importantly, it
would exist a relationship between the learner and their actual territorial
context getting better results in learning.
We will work the concepts about Augmented Reality (AR), Mobile
Pedestrian Navigation System (PNS), Situated Learning and Mobile
Learning.

3. Objectives
Objectives in the technological context
• The research aims to analyze the main tools used in the development
of situated learning by PNS-AR in order to have a diagnosis of
existing software.
• We are developing a PNS-AR software through the frameworks of
location, navigation and augmented reality iOS system, allowing the
presentation of content on heritage and territory the context of
situated learning with mobile technology.
• We aim to establish the process of building the PNS-AR module using
the architectural and technological context encapsulated by
programming and customizable iOS system, and its development
frameworks

4. Objectives for educational dimension
• We are studying and analyzing previous research and developments
in terms of the relationship between the PNS-AR and situated
learning.
• We aim to determine the influence and effectiveness of PNS-AR
software we created in the context of situated learning through a
concrete example of the territory and cultural heritage.
• Finally, we aim to identify and understand the experiences gained by
users with PNS-AR developed software, where we identify the
relevant issues and resulting key factors.

10. Conclusions an expected results
We will develop a customizable software under the modular structure
and the areas of mobility, navigation and virtual interaction (PNS-AR)
This would result in benefits in the development of improvements and
optimizations, according to the progress and requirements as tools for
an informal learning environment, digital mapping (spatial-location)
and the territorial-heritage information.
We aim to obtain a tool with a greater effectiveness in the field of
heritage education, compared to similar methodologies and usual
tools.

11. This research has a strong emphasis in technological aspects and
pedagogical elements, allowing a continuous improvement of each
element involved in the PNS-AR system.
The personalization of content and process in areas such as the PNS
and territorial heritage virtualization allows an improvement in the
learning process and the incorporation of cultural identity locally.
