Abstract

The digitalization of society, changes in the structure of education, and increasingly rapid resources have accelerated the development of an open learning environment. The application of electronic learning and mobile learning raises several new problems such as alienating students from the real world, the difficulty of students focusing on learning goals, giving students opportunities to spend their learning time with entertainment, to the problem of increasing the cognitive load of students. Ubiquitous learning, as a continuation of the evolution of electronic learning and mobile learning, offers more than just the latest educational ideas or methods, where this system can accommodate students and their learning styles by providing adequate information anytime and anywhere based on their characteristics, needs, and desire to improve academic performance and productivity. The purpose of this study is to 1) develop the ubiquitous learning environment including the ubiquitous learning portal built with the Moodle LMS, and the ubiquitous learning course in the Instructional Media course 2) find out the feasibility of the ubiquitous learning environment that has been developed. This study used the R&amp;D for Education model implementing some stages including analysis, design, development, and evaluation. All stages have been completed to make a portal and ubiquitous learning course in the Instructional Media course that meet the eligibility criteria as a source/instructional media and has feasibility to use in learning.

Highlights

The concept of learning can be approached using constructivism paradigm
Mobile learning can have other negative effects, especially overload on the students’ cognitive load if the learning strategies used are inappropriate [12]. These findings offer a good reference for those of us who intend to design and carry out online/mobile learning activities better
The product developed in this study is the ubiquitous learning system in the form of: 1) the u-learning portal built with Moodle LMS, and 2) the ulearning course in the Instructional Media course

Summary

Introduction

The concept of learning can be approached using constructivism paradigm. Based on the paradigm of constructivism about learning, the principle of media mediated instruction occupies a strategic position in order to realize learning events optimally. The variety of activities and the use of media/resources in learning continue to grow and develop along with the development of information and communication technology. Information and communication technology enables the emergence of various activities that can transform conventional services into flexible, personal, and effective activities by utilizing technological devices and digital resources [2], [3]. The real consequence of the rapid development of information and communication technology is the emergence of the concept of learning that can be done anywhere and anytime. Information technology products such as mobile phones, electronic devices (gadgets), cloud computing, wireless networks, etc. Information technology products such as mobile phones, electronic devices (gadgets), cloud computing, wireless networks, etc. had become the main promoters and accelerators of the application of the concept of mobile learning [4]
