In the information education environment, research study, collaborative learning, ubiquitous learning and other new learning methods are concerned by experts in all areas. These non-linear learning approaches have changed the traditional teaching methods. It not only has a guiding sense of teaching, but also has a major impact on the achievement of learners. Then in the learning process, how to express the learning path of learners? What features does it have? This paper introduces the basic concepts of non-linear learning, ways of how to represent non-linear learning path and its general characteristics. I hope it can provide a reference for other studies.
