A Model to Measure U-Learning in Virtual Higher Education: U-CLX
Abstract
Ubiquitous learning is an evolution of educational learning processes that implements the concept of ubiquity. That is to say, it is found at all times and in all places. This article summarizes our previous works and proposes an alternative to answer our main research question: how can we develop a U-Learning model that integrates connective learning and xAPI user experiences? This paper presents the U-Learning Model Supported by Learning Experiences and Connective Learning for virtual higher education (U-CLX Model) to measure U-Learning in virtual institutions. The U-CLX Model measures ubiquitous learning in four dimensions: time, place, medium, and context. To develop the model, we proposed a theoretical and technological framework, a definition of the U-Learning concept, a unit of measurement for ubiquitous learning (UbiquoL), and a description of the measurement process. We validated the proposal by thematic specialists and applied the instrument in two universities. The model aims to assess the level of ubiquitous learning in virtual higher education institutions and to suggest how these institutions can improve within their current operations.
