  1. TBR Quality Standards • Mobile Apps for • Education and Workforce Development

  2. Mobile Learning with AppsUbiquitous Learning What Makes Mobile Learning Ubiquitous?*Quotes noted regarding U-Learning are from Emantras Inc “With mobile learning expanding globally, more and more people have begun to experience ubiquitous learning (learning that can happen whenever you need it, however you want it) using their mobile devices with apps.”

  3. Ubiquitous LearningU-Learning “Ubiquitous learning (or u-learning) is equivalent to a form of simple mobile learning, e.g. learning environments that can be accessed in various contexts and situations.”

  4. U-Learning “By looking at the features of ubiquitous learning, it’s easier to understand why many consider mobile education to be a form ubiquitous learning. With the development of mobile learning and mobile apps, the concept of ubiquitous education has become more tangible.”

  5. Features of U-Learning using Mobile Apps • Adaptability • Interactivity • Permanency • Accessibility • Immediacy • Situating of Instructional Activities

  6. Adaptability “ Learners can get the right information at the right place with the right way.”

  7. Interactivity “Learners can interact with experts, teachers, or peers in the form of synchronies or asynchronous communication. Hence, the experts are more reachable and the knowledge is more available.”

  8. Permanency “Learners can never lose their work unless it is purposefully deleted. In addition, all the learning processes are recorded continuously in everyday.”

  9. Accessibility “Learners have access to their documents, data, or videos from anywhere. That information is provided based on their requests. Therefore, the learning involved is self-directed.”

  10. Immediacy “Wherever learners are, they can get any information immediately. Therefore learners can solve problems quickly. Otherwise, the learner may record the questions and look for the answer later.”

  11. Situating of Instructional Activities “The learning could be embedded in our daily life. The problems encountered as well as the knowledge required are all presented in the nature and authentic forms. It helps learners notice the features of problem situations that make particular actions relevant.”

  12. U-Learning “While u-learning itself extends beyond known technologies like portable computers and mobile devices, this decade has ushered in the advent of mobile education, considered by many as a vital step towards a truly ubiquitous learning system.”
