Hi everyone, my name is Natalia, and I want to share a cool idea about ubiquitous learning called learning analytics–driven adaptive learning.

Basically, it’s a way for learning platforms to watch how we study – what we do well, what we struggle with, and what kind of materials we like – and then adjust the lessons just for us. That way, we can learn at our own pace and in a way that really works for us, no matter where we are or what device we’re using.

A good example of this is Khan Academy or Coursera. If you get stuck on a math problem or a tricky topic, the system can automatically give you extra exercises, short videos, or explanations that fit your needs. It’s like having a personal tutor that’s always there and adapts to you.

Even better, adaptive learning helps us work together too. We can still share ideas with classmates, do group projects, or help each other out, even if we’re all studying from home. This kind of learning doesn’t just teach content – it also builds skills like teamwork and communication.

Here’s a picture that shows how it works:

Hello!

I'm Krisha and I just wanted to share a concept from ubiquitous learning that I think we sometimes forget to notice, even though we see and do it all the time. It is what we call Over-the-Shoulder Learning.


Over-the-Shoulder learning happens when someone learns just by watching or observing another person. It may be as simple as watching a television, or a livestream. No need to do anything right away, you just simply observe, like being over the shoulder. We may notice it after school when we see our classmate or a friend do a school project or maybe design things on his or her computer. You may accidentally pick up the technique or a way of designing or organizing ideas. It may not be officially taught, you just observe it happen, and there will be learning. That is over-the shoulder learning.


This concept is important because of how learning is not always in the four corners of a classroom anymore. We learn everywhere, even when we just watch television or scroll our cellphone.


One example is when pupils observe on what you do, a great example is during video tutorials or gaming videos. The pupils learn without touching anything until later.


For me, over-the-shoulder learning reminds us that learning is a social activity. It does not always need a formal lesson to be meaningful.

Virtual Schools

12082025GBUI4113

Virtual schools have truly made life easier for me, especially when I decided to earn the necessary units to qualify for the Licensure Examination for Public School Teachers. It is amazing to think that I was able to complete all my required units in just one year! I did this without the need to go out and spend a lot of money on commuting from my home to a physical school. This convenience is one of the best things about having virtual schools available today.

Through online classes, I was able to learn at my own pace and manage my time effectively. I could study from the comfort of my home, which made it easier for me to focus on my lessons. I found that I could retain the information I learned just as well as if I were attending a traditional school. In fact, after completing the program, I successfully passed the Licensure Examination for Teachers. This achievement allowed me to become a government teacher, which has been a dream of mine.

The bottom line is that attending a virtual school provided me with the knowledge and skills I needed to succeed. I believe that virtual schools offer an experience that is very similar to traditional schools. They provide quality education and allow students to learn in a flexible environment. In my opinion, virtual schools are a fantastic option for anyone looking to further their education. Having experienced this firsthand, I can confidently say that virtual schools can be just as effective as traditional schools in helping students achieve their goals. Overall, I am grateful for the opportunities that virtual schools have provided me, and I believe they are an important part of modern education.

Ubiquitous learning is about a modern way of learning that lets us students study anytime and anywhere. It’s one of the good things we’ve gotten used to during and after the pandemic. Even though the pandemic was a tough time, it helped us become stronger and more resourceful. It made us open to new ideas, giving better chances to people like us, who are often seen as coming from 3rd world countries. Now, we can access many online education platforms from all over the world.

This change in how we learn has given us the power to take control of our education in ways we never thought possible. With just a smartphone or a laptop, we can connect with teachers and experts, join online classes, and find a lot of resources that fit our learning styles. This makes education more available to everyone, even those in remote areas.

Also, ubiquitous learning helps us work together with our classmates, creating a sense of community even when we are far apart. We can share ideas, work on projects, and support each other in our studies. This teamwork not only helps us learn better but also builds important skills like communication and collaboration, which are essential in today’s world.

As we keep using this new way of learning, it’s important to stay flexible and open to change. Learning anytime and anywhere is a powerful tool that can change our lives and help future generations. By making the most of ubiquitous learning, we can create a better future for ourselves and make a positive impact on our communities.

Ubiquitous Learning Concept: Over-the-Shoulder Learning

Over-the-shoulder learning is a form of ubiquitous learning where skills and knowledge are acquired through observation of others in performance, with various instances being mediated by digital tools. Traditionally, this happened physically, like an apprentice watching a mentor at work. Today, digital platforms have expanded it into screen sharing, video walkthroughs, livestreams, and collaborative workspaces, giving way for learning to occur anyplace and anytime.

This concept strongly connects with ubiquitous learning because it:

Occurs in authentic work contexts

Is often informal, just-in-time, and problem-driven

Blends physical and digital environments.

Contrary to formal instruction, over-the-shoulder learning is situated—learners do not study a skill in isolation but see how it is applied in real tasks and evolving situations.

Example in Practice

One good real-world example is the development of software using GitHub and screen-sharing tools. Junior developers will often learn by:

Watch senior developers code via Zoom or Microsoft Teams.

Observing code reviews in pull requests

Following live debugging sessions

For instance, Microsoft Learn and GitHub both support collaborative learning where beginners literally see how experts solve problems step by step:

Microsoft Learn: https://learn.microsoft.com

GitHub collaborative learning: https://github.com/features/codespaces

In education, screen recording and live over-the-shoulder learning are now employed by teachers. A vivid example would be that of a math teacher solving problems on a tablet, which students can observe in real time. Such is made possible through platforms such as Loom, Google Meet, and Zoom.

Ubiquitous Learning: Learning Beyond the Classroom

Ubiquitous learning is a modern approach to education where learning can happen anytime and anywhere. After watching the video by Dr. Bill Cope and Dr. Mary Kalantzis, I realized that this idea reflects how education today is no longer limited to classrooms or fixed schedules. Instead of that, learning follows us through the digital tools we use every day.

The video explains that traditional learning used to rely heavily on physical classrooms. Students had to be present in the same place and at the same time to receive information. In today's generation, technology has changed that system. With mobile phones, online platforms, and digital resources, students can access lessons, complete activities, and review materials whenever they need to. One clear example of it is studying through a mobile app while riding public transportation. Even if a student is on a jeep or waiting somewhere, they can still learn by watching short videos or reading quick explanations. This makes learning more flexible and more connected to real life. It also highlights how ubiquitous learning supports different types of learners. This allowed students to learn at their own pace, revisit lessons for better understanding, and manage their time better. This develops important skills such as independence, responsibility, and curiosity. These skills are essential in a world where information changes quickly and learning continues throughout life.

Ubiquitous learning shows that education can be accessible, flexible, and meaningful beyond the classroom. Although some challenges still exist, especially in terms of access to technology, this approach encourages lifelong learning and helps students see learning as something they can carry with them anywhere.

Coursera: Learning Without Limits


As we dive into a digital or modernized world, as a student-teacher, I learn a lot on how to make quality education for my students. Through the use of media and technology, I am able to provide creative and fun activities that catch their attention. Ubiquitous learning helps us learn anytime and anywhere using tools like phones, tablets, or online resources. Unlike regular classroom learning that happens at set times and places, u-Learning lets you study in a way that fits your schedule, your style, and your everyday life. This encourages us to actively participate online, despite physical absence.


Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) an open online course is an online course aimed at unlimited participation and open access via the Web. One of the great concepts of these MOOCs is the Coursera that we are using in this course. Coursera is a great example of learning you can do anywhere and anytime using a computer, tablet, or phone. You can study at your own pace and fit lessons into your daily routine. It has videos, readings, quizzes, and discussion boards all in one place. You can also use what you learn in real life, like at work or at home—which is very convenient for people who are working and studying at the same time. Additionally, Coursera makes learning easy, flexible, and available to everyone, which is what ubiquitous learning is all about.


Ubiquitous learning is what we may need. It becomes easier for us to adjust in society and in our future career because we have a great foundation that is an essential tool to improve ourselves. Through Coursera, we can learn anytime and anywhere. Coursera helps us do this by offering online courses that we can take at our own pace—without limiting your capability and willingness to share concepts, ideas, and informr.. It lets us learn new skills, choose what we want to study, and connect with people from all over the world, making learning easy and fun.
