• Thispaper describesthe creation andeducational effectivenessof a digitally-enabledlearningmodule. Themodule is linkedto the implementation of several Mobile Pedestrian Navigation and Augmented Reality features (MPN-AR), which areused to carry out training processes. In particular, the information imparted is related to territorial information on severalrelevant disciplines like Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). This is done in a context of digitalinformation about the environment of Santiago de Chile. The research focuses on two main areas, of which the first is theterritorial delimitation, in the thematic context of the study area, in order to carry out the design of an MPN-ARapplication. This includes defining the architecture, functionality, user interface and implementation of the application. Asecond step deals with the empirical verification of the results produce by the various modes of operation of the application,as well as the comprehensibility and effectiveness of the model. This is done by means of an MPN-AR application, whichhasbeen createdin the contextof mobilelearning andubiquitous learningas applied to territorialor environmentssystems.The precise context will be students in a formal educational context. Finally, the implication of these results is discussed,determining their effectiveness within the context of m-learning and u-learning scenarios in comparison with traditionalteaching
