A typical educational setting that is enabled by internet connections, integrated and mobile devices, and other common devices is known as ubiquitous learning (Ogata et al.). Also, the term "ubiquitous learning," or "u-learning," refers to the ability to receive knowledge and learning at any time and from any location thanks to information and communication technologies, or ICTs, so this allows learning to be easily incorporated into everyday interactions and activities (Learning and Development, 2022).

Ubiquitous Learning 2.0, which builds on the principles of mobile learning and ubiquitous computing, is an all-encompassing approach to education that goes beyond the confines of conventional classroom settings and effortlessly incorporates learning into every aspect of our everyday life.

Fundamentally, immersive, personalized, and continuous learning experiences are produced by Ubiquitous Learning 2.0 by taking advantage of the widespread availability of digital tools. Education is no longer limited to the walls of a physical classroom; rather, it is now a continuous, flexible process that changes to meet the requirements and interests of each individual student. For example, there are a huge number of distance or online courses which enables learners to pursuit their learning, not just confining in a four-wall room.

Using cutting-edge technology like augmented reality, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things is essential to Ubiquitous Learning 2.0. Together, these technologies provide dynamic, interactive learning opportunities that go beyond the constraints of conventional teaching techniques. Imagine a world in which students have access to a richness of knowledge at any time, anywhere, and on any device, and where learning is not restricted by time or location. For example, now students can get access to a whole world of books, data and information around the world, which allow them to actively study their courses and widen their knowledge, not just the one in the book, but in real life as well. Therefore, they can get a lot of real and practical experience.

Furthermore, Ubiquitous Learning 2.0 covers a broad spectrum of skills and competences necessary for success in the twenty-first century, going beyond traditional academic disciplines. This method gives students the diverse skill set necessary to succeed in an increasingly complicated and linked world, from critical thinking and digital literacy to creativity and teamwork.

In conclusion, Ubiquitous Learning 2.0 is a shift in education that turns learning into a dynamic, interconnected process that permeates every part of our life, as opposed to a static, separate activity.
