## Abstract (arXiv)

Mixed Reality (MR) offers immersive and multimodal opportunities for education but remains difficult for teachers to author without technical expertise. We propose MRGEN, a conceptual framework for LLM-powered authoring tools to support teachers in creating MR learning activities that work on mobile devices (tablets and smartphones). MRGEN articulates three axes: Learning Objectives, MR Modality, and GAI Assistance. To validate our framework, we implemented a prototype based on the open-source MIXAP authoring platform and conducted a user study with 24 participants. Results show that LLM-powered authoring reduced task duration by 36% on average, and that over 90% of participants found the AI support helpful for brainstorming, structuring, and aligning content with their learning goals. These findings yielded very promising results for future AI-assisted MR authoring tools.
