The emergence of generation Z has driven the need for transformation in learning process, including in Higher Education area. Learning programming is important and fundamental for informatics students. Numerous endeavors have been executed to achieve satisfactory results that is absorption of graduates within the society and industry. However, there are still many efforts that must be done to meet the high need for informatics graduates who are experts in programming. Ubiquitous learning (u-learning) is a mean for learning anywhere, anytime and through anything that aims to provide the right information at the right time and place to accommodate a lifestyle by utilizing technology. In order to harmonize the current generation Z learning styles, u-learning is considered suitable to comply with their style. This research is a descriptive study design to describe the current situation as a basis for finding facts. The results showed that the students' perceptions showed that the support of the u-learning environment could support them in improving programming learning outcomes and u-learning could be applied in programming learning.</span></p>

— At present and along with the development of the times, higher education or campuses are increasingly competing with each other, especially in Indonesia. Each campus is competing to improve its quality so that it has a good assessment and can become a World Class University. This is done in various ways, for example, such as providing campus infrastructure that is equipped with adequate technology or combining technology into activities or all processes on campus, this is called the implementation of a smart campus. So that by forming a smart campus, the campus can produce better quality human resources. One form of technological advancement is the emergence of internet technology, the Internet stands for interconnection networking as a communication network connecting between electronic media using the standard IP (Internet Protocol). The internet has many benefits that make it widely used in various industrial sectors, one of which is in the higher education industry. IoT exists as an evolution of the internet as a system that has remote control. IoT is one of the right solutions to support smart campus implementation. The use of IoT on a smart campus can improve campus quality, efficiency and effectiveness. The purpose of this study is to determine the description of IoT, the network technology used and how the implementation can be done on a smart campus

Generation Z students are inherently different than previous generations. These students may need adapted forms of instruction in order to match their learning styles. Collaborative learning can be adapted using cloud-computing, which helps students work together online and manage their interactions. These students may benefit from a technological twist to a common instructional strategy and are inclined to use online means of communication to complete coursework. Technology has dominated the educational experiences of these students and they are no strangers to collaborative work through e-learning platforms. Higher education institutions and instructors must develop the format of courses in order to meet the technological learning preferences of Generation Z.

Following the lead of geographer, David Harvey (2008), this chapter argues that many contemporary trends in the use of technology in higher education prevent the development of capacities for critical democratic citizenship. Too often, technology is deployed in a top-down fashion to shape student learning. Thus, to enhance the full emergence of students as active, engaged, critical citizens, it is crucial that they be granted access to the right to technology in education.

There has been an increasing emphasis on enhancing students’ practical experience acquiring from the higher education, focusing not only on the development of academic and intellectual capabilities and subject knowledge, but also on the development of skills to equip students for employability. A practical training system that allows instruments to be monitored and controlled over the Internet leaves plenty of room to be studied. This training system can easily be turned into online experiment that allows students at remote locations to control and obtain real-time measurements or experimental data (Tan & Soh, 2001). Actually, some students like to read books to gain knowledge, while others prefer to understand theories deeper through experiment (Chu, 1999; Whelan, 1997). Both of these knowledge-based and investigative types of learning styles have profound and different effects on the delivery and acceptance of engineering education.


Ubiquitous learning allows students to learn at any time and any place. Adaptivity plays an important role in ubiquitous learning, aiming at providing students with adaptive and personalized learning material, activities, and information at the right place and the right time. However, for providing rich adaptivity, the student model needs to be able to gather a variety of information about the students. In this paper, an automatic, global, and dynamic student modeling approach is introduced, which aims at identifying and frequently updating information about students’ progress, learning styles, interests and knowledge level, problem solving abilities, preferences for using the system, social connectivity, and current location. This information is gathered in an automatic way, using students’ behavior and actions in different learning situations provided by different components/services of the ubiquitous learning environment. By providing a comprehensive student model, students can be supported by rich adaptivity in every component/service of the learning environment. Furthermore, the information in the student model can help in giving teachers a better understanding about the students’ learning process.

The paper analyzes the ways in which destructive internet content influences the legal awareness of youth. Young people use the Internet most actively, so they are the most subject to the influence of both positive and negative internet trends. Various means of legal education will be inefficient if the character and learning styles of the younger generation are not taken into consideration. The authors define the specifics of the perception of the information by Generation Z, aka zoomers. Also, they briefly survey some features of internet content, especially those that are significant for perceptual psychology. The authors draw conclusions about trends in the sphere of education, as well as offer some recommendations about how to use the knowledge of the specifics of Generation Z in the legal education process

This chapter aims to show why institutions of higher education should be responsible for securing a citizen’s right to education over a life. It begins by showing how the primary political responsibilities of social institutions in a liberal society are derived from a more basic obligation to promote citizens’ ability to freely (and successfully) pursue the good life. These political responsibilities arise are called liberty-maximizing requirements of justice. It then argues that liberty-maximizing justice warrants the inclusion of higher education as a liberal social institution whose overarching purpose is to the provision of an autonomy-supporting education to all citizens. Finally, it specifies why an autonomy-supporting education requires a specific institution for its provision and why direct access to public knowledge—through the Internet and public libraries, for example—is insufficient for this purpose.

The fact that people behave and learn in a different pace requires individual differences to be properly considered in the teaching/learning process. Among several cognitive theories that could be used for this purpose, a promising one is to explore the use of students' learning styles (LSs), with several research studies indicating that their use has positive impacts on learning outcomes. At the same time, Ubiquitous Learning Environments (ULEs) have the potential to make the multimedia authoring of Learning Objects (LOs) an automated process, resulting on even larger educational content repositories and increasing the need for more adequate presentation strategies to students. This article presents an approach for creating and personalizing LOs through a probabilistic proposal of the Felder and Silverman Learning Styles Model. A prototype of the proposed model was integrated into a ubiquitous educational platform and experimented in real settings. Results indicate the existence of correlations between different types of interactions carried out by students and their respective LSs.

Generation Z is a generation that has grown in the digital era and is dependent on the internet. One of the features of the internet that is most accessed by this generation is social media. Social media as the information source has a negative impact, especially related to academic processes in the university, namely the learning concentration disorder. Students as part of the Z gene is a population that uses various gadgets (gadgets), so that they are at risk of experiencing learning concentration disorders. The purpose of this study was to describe the level of concentration of learning in students of the Nursing Faculty of Padjadjaran University. This research is quantitative descriptive. The sample was taken using the proportionate stratified random sampling technique from the population of the Nursing Faculty of Padjadjaran University (n = 240). Data were collected using concentration learning questionnaires and analyzed descriptively. The results showed that 40 students (16.7%) had low levels of learning concentration, 166 students (69.2%) with moderate learning concentration levels and 23 (14.2%) with high levels of learning concentration. The conclusion of this study is that most of the Nursing Faculty students of Padjadjaran University have a moderate level of learning concentration. It is recommended to apply varied methods and learning styles in learning activities so that the level of concentration of student learning can be increased.
