Ubiquitous Technology

Technology has evolved and continues to evolve at a rapid pace, allowing access to learning wherever and whenever students need, creating a ubiquitous learning environment. This rapid evolution of technology will require preparation of students for the 21st century, including post-secondary students, necessitating a fundamental and systematic change in how schools are organized for ubiquitous learning. For mobile learning technologies to truly facilitate student learning and prepare students for learning beyond the 21st century, a paradigm shift in teaching and learning is needed. Ubiquitous computing environments should be viewed through the lens of the learner and the learning environment in which all students have access to mobile learning devices anytime, anywhere, thus transcending the boundaries of the classroom. Integration of m-learning and ubiquitous technology in the K-20 classroom will require a new pedagogical framework for teaching and learning. At the heart of this framework is the classroom teacher: a teacher who is aware of the benefits and challenges of technology in education. This chapter explores the benefits and challenges of this technology in education.

The Impact

Advances in technologies have changed the process of learning, not just in formal educational settings but continuing education as well. Mobile learning is a part of a new learning landscape and offers the opportunity for a spontaneous, personal, informal, and situated learning. With the use of mobile technology in education, online learning communities can incorporate students from different backgrounds with vastly diverse learning styles into an educational setting. This chapter analyses the opportunities mobile learning presents and the impact mobile devices have had on teaching and learning practices and the barriers and challenges to support competitive educational experiences.

And Training

This chapter investigates the use of mobile digital technologies for learning, or mobile learning (m-learning), across a variety of education and training settings. In particular, it focuses on pervasive m-learning, defined as m-learning involving activities that are able to integrate into learners’ lives, coinciding with other actions and tasks in an unobtrusive fashion. It also considers new and emerging pervasive computing, wearable, and ambient intelligence (AmI) technologies that enable implicit, unseen interactions between humans, objects, and their environment. The chapter is primarily concerned with the question of whether, and if so, how mobile and pervasive computing technologies can be used in pedagogically sound ways. Drawing on a number of illustrative examples, the chapter examines the degree to which pervasive m-learning has been achieved, or can be achieved, with current technologies, as well as the resulting benefits. It then raises a number of potential challenges and risk factors, before synthesizing the above into a number of realistic visions and future applications of pervasive mlearning. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the implications for education and training practitioners and researchers.
