Abstract :
U-learning is the next step of e-learning. It focuses on exploring the potential novel learning styles in the ubiquitous environment. In out vision, the digital artifacts would become pervasive in the future ubiquitous environment. In this paper, the concept of digital artifacts and u-learning digital artifacts are given out. Two examples of u-learning digital artifacts, a ubiquitous schoolbag and a digital flash card, are presented. Moreover, a ubiquitous review system for the pupils, which adopted the ubiquitous schoolbag and the digital flash cards, are given out to illustrate our vision of ubiquitous learning. We have implemented the system and the feasibility of the system has been proved through the experiments.
