Ubiquitous learning is one of the modern learning methods aiming to improve and expand students' knowledge with regardless to time and place. That could be implemented by using technology. It is ongoing learning where the students continue processing their learning and moving from aspect to another without recognizing the amount of information and skills they have acquired. ‘Via using mobile technology and network communication, learning guidance and supports can be provided without being limited by time and space, implying that more learning opportunities and resources can be offered to facilitate learning’ (Chang & Hwang, 2019).
The ubiquitous learning boosts students's engagement in learning. It keeps them interacted and and engaged by participating in games. It also opens the door to social interacting and peer learning. They communicate with other students by sharing ideas and learn from each other.
The ubiquitous learning doesn't just improve students academically but also personally. Students starts to be more responsible about their learning. For example, flipped classrooms enable students to take on the responsibility to learn by themselves. They read and search to understand the lesson ahead before the class. Also, students learn how learn. They work on all the aspects that help them to learn perfectly and correctly. In the ubiquitous learning, the students are able to measure their progress in learning. They recognize their strengths and weaknesses, and they can work on improve them.
To sum up, ubiquitous learning is an evolution learning in education, but it is convenient to the new generation with the quick digital life. It is helpful for every learner seeking lifelong learning.
