Description

The article contributes a design framework combining learning-on-the-move with Enyedy and Yoon's five-part immersion framework, called SANSE: "sensory, actional, narrative, social, and emancipatory" immersion. These immersive processes are operationalized as design conjectures (Table 2) specifying how MAR features—prompts, filters, GPS wayfinding, photo-taking—support intergenerational family sense-making about geologic time in outdoor informal settings. Each conjecture pairs the immersion category with Time Explorers examples, grounding XR-time-travel narratives in learners' physical place.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

• A place-based outdoor setting with physical specimens or exhibits the app content can connect to
• A mobile augmented reality app delivering content triggered by GPS location or markers

Constraints

• The article found no substantial example of emancipatory immersion from its own data

Target Learners

• Intergenerational families with children aged 5–12 in informal outdoor settings

Learning Goals

• Understanding geologic time scale and land–water geoscience processes through collaborative place-based sense-making

Claims

• Multiple Immersive Processes At Microsites [+M]
• No Substantial Emancipatory Immersion Example [~M]
