Abstract
Abstract This research study focuses on 31 families (n = 105 individuals) and their experience using a place-based e-Trailguide to observe and learn about the local biodiversity during a hike. Open-ended interviews were conducted with each family after their hike with the e-Trailguide to assess shifts in biodiversity awareness. 190 interview responses were thematically coded into 17 different categories. Results showed that new awareness of tree characteristics, plant identification, and insect species were reported most often. Overall, families’ new awareness of plants was reported more than animals. Implications highlight the value of place-based and temporal-specific content when designing outdoor-based mobile programs for families.
期刊介绍：
Applied Artificial Intelligence addresses concerns in applied research and applications of artificial intelligence (AI). The journal also acts as a medium for exchanging ideas and thoughts about impacts of AI research. Articles highlight advances in uses of AI systems for solving tasks in management, industry, engineering, administration, and education; evaluations of existing AI systems and tools, emphasizing comparative studies and user experiences; and the economic, social, and cultural impacts of AI. Papers on key applications, highlighting methods, time schedules, person-months needed, and other relevant material are welcome.
