U-learning国际现状调查与分析

Research Status of U-learning

U-learning是一个理念和技术双重协力的结果。U-learning的概念在其使能技术成为现实之前就产生了,但直到泛在计算技术及嵌入式系统成为可能之后,U-learning才真正进入实验项目阶段。本文首先整理了U-learning概念的演变,其次叙述了多个具有代表性的U-learning项目,最后从技术层面分析U-learning的使能技术与环境的发展现状,并在此基础上探讨上海在推行终身学习的学习型社会背景下实现U-learning的前景。

U-learning came as a result from the interaction of theories and technologies. The concept of U-learning had existed before enabling technologies were available. However, U-learning did not truly enter the pilot project stage until ubiquitous computing technologies and embedded systems became possible. This paper reviews the concept of U-learning and its evolution. The paper then describes a number of representative U-learning projects in the world. The paper discusses the prospects of U-learning in Shanghai after a tachnological analysis of current enabling technologies and environments.
