DLT Assessment 1.1: individualised and ubiquitous learning

The use of digital learning technologies that allows for individualised and ubiquitous learning:

What is Ubiquitous learning and how has it improved the way that people learn in the modern world?

Ubiquitous learning is a form of learning that no longer requires a student to be seated in a classroom with a teacher at the front of the class teaching the students how to do things.

Ubiquitous learning allows students to learn and gather information from anywhere in the world using all forms of technology. Students are no longer hampered by the inability of learning from home by being made to go to a specific school and be taught be a specific teacher to learn information that interests them.

Some forms of Ubiquitous learning are: uLearning, a simple form of mobile learning and non traditional learning. 

What is Individualised learning and how does it impact the way that people learn in the classroom?

Individualised learning is the traditional way of teaching students. It is normally done in a classroom full of students and maintained by one teacher. individualised learning unlike its counterpart personalised learning focuses more on all of the students learning in a form of pre planned educational schema. Because of this students do not gain a full and proper learning until tertiary education providers. Students will learn the basics of what is required by the teachers to teach so that they can provide students with the ability to gain low end career jobs such as retail and sales.

Some primary and secondary education providers do supply students with personalised and ubiquitous learning but the cost of sending students to these providers is not easily obtainable by most modern day families.
