Abstract

Ubiquitous learning is a novel approach that integrates mobile technology, web services and context-awareness technology to overlay the real world with virtual information according to the situation or environment of the learner. In this paper, an interesting solution for promoting authentic learning is presented by integration of three web 3.0 technologies, namely, mobile blogging, mobile augmented reality and mobile tagging, in the design and development of a ubiquitous learning environment for higher education. Preliminary results show that u-learning environments holds promise in increasing students' context-awareness and collaboration during learning as well as managing their cognitive load.
