About ubiquitous learning

Ubiquitous learning is a generic term for learning in a freer Internet space for students without being limited in place and time. As mentioned above, the advantage of ubiquitous learning is that it is not limited in time and space. For example, it is also possible to share opinions or work on a project together with various students all around the world who are learning the same content.

In the case of traditional classes, one-way information and knowledge transfer from teacher to student takes place. In addition, teachers check students' achievement and understanding of knowledge through homework and tests. Therefore, unlike ubiquitous learning, space and time are limited.

On the other hand, in the case of flip learning, students learn the contents of the class through learning materials provided by teachers in advance, study on their own, and utilize and apply them in actual class. Since students' participation and interest in subjects are higher than traditional classes, it is more effective for students to organize and internalize concepts on their own while learning. Because of these characteristics, student-centered activities such as flip learning individualized classes and project-oriented classes are the main. In this process, it is much more effective to search for various information in the Internet space, share it with each other, and carry out the project rather than having students face-to-face in one place.
