A Study on Various Learning Approaches towards u-Learning Development

Abstract

Nowadays, learning has shifted from the traditional classroom-centered towards being learner-centered and oriented. Learning has evolved from the classic electronic learning (e-Learning) to mobile learning (m-Learning) and now towards ubiquitous learning (u-Learning). This paper deals with the study on the various approaches to learning to outline the significance of u-Learning in the present and in the near future generation. Various significant learning approaches such as computer-based learning, e-Learning, blended learning, distance learning, online and web-based learning, m-Learning, and u-Learning will be discussed to outline the u-Learning model based on the theory of connectivism.
