The popularity of tablet devices in the field of education is expected to greatly increase. It is reported that Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is not appropriately used in school trips. Nevertheless, ICT can aid in solving problems such as shortening the time of pre- and post-learning, and use of a personal computer room. Therefore, this study investigated the use of a tablet device in independent training of a group during a school trip from a viewpoint of “interest” and “usefulness.” Results revealed that for pre-learning, a tablet device is useful in improving the interest. Moreover, the data stored in the tablet device at the time of pre-learning was useful for experiential activities. Finally, the AR Poster, which can view and listen for tablet devices, is useful as a tool for presentation of post-learning.
