Guidelines for designing a smart and ubiquitous learning environment with respect to cultural heritage

This paper introduces a list of guidelines for designing mobile location-based learning services with respect to cultural heritage sites. This list was set out based on the results of a user-study in the field. The user study was carried out with adult end-users to evaluate a prototype mobile application that delivered information through mobile phones and smart eye glasses simultaneously regarding cultural heritage sites based on location. Augmented reality and location-based services are utilised in this app.
