The rapid evolution of Information and Communication Technologies has led to new ways of learning and education. In Shanghai, researchers and developers of an online college actively seek technological interventions to provide first-class e-learning services for about 17,000 enrolled students. They developed a cutting-edge pervasive learning platform that provide "always on" education. It aims to support "Learning Anytime, Anywhere", which is accomplished through extending the real classrooms and also supporting web-based self-paced learning. The platform is composed of three components: a) distributed Standard Natural Classrooms, the smart spaces to provide natural interaction for teachers and students; b) large-scale media streaming for multi-mode terminals delivering fully interactive lectures to PCs and mobile devices; c) dynamic and personalized web-based learning systems. Multi-modal interactions are supported that students learning on this platform change from passive learners to truly engaged learners who are behaviorally, intellectually, and emotionally involved in their learning activities.
