Ubiquitous learning is a new educational paradigm made possible in part by the affordances of
digital media. This paper sets out to explore the dimensions of this proposition. We can use
new technologies to do learn old things in old ways, but the learner’s relationship to
knowledge and the processes of pedagogy have not changed in any significant way. The
emergence of ubiquitous computing creates new conditions for all working as education
professionals and learning as students. The key is not the logic or technical specifications of
the machines. Rather it is the new ways in which meaning is created, stored, delivered and
accessed. In this paper, we suggest seven moves which are characteristic of ubiquitous
learning. Each explores and exploits the potentials of ubiquitous computing. None, however, is
a pedagogical thought or social agenda that is new to the era of ubiquitous computing. The
only difference today is that there is now no practical reason not to make each of these moves.
The affordances are there, and if we can, perhaps we should. And when we do, we may
discover that a new educational paradigm begins to emerge. And as new paradigms emerge,
we might find they take a leading role on technological innovation.
