Context-aware ubiquitous learning on the cloud-based open learning environment: Towards Indonesia Open Educational Resources (I-OER)

Ubiquitous Learning (U-Learning) is an adaptation of a ubiquitous computing in the implementation of e-learning. The main idea of U-Learning is to deliver the right content to the right users in the right time and the right place. In line with the developments in technology, cloud computing is being adopted as an alternative in the management of IT infrastructure flexibility. Cloud-Based Open Learning is the concept of open access to learning resources that will be implemented in cloud environments. This concept is in line with the phenomena of Open Educational Resources (OER), which began to evolve in the world of education. Both of these concepts can not be separated from the use of information technology in its implementation. The objective of this study is to adapt the ubiquitous computing technology in the cloud environment, which is expected to support the Indonesia-Open Educational Resources (I-OER). In this study we conduct literature review from various related research and adopt it in considering the needs in the context of Indonesia. As an output of this study, u-learning on the cloud-based open learning environment architecture has been proposed, which consists of five layers: (1) Infrastructure; (2) Platform; (3) Software; (4) Ubiquitous Management; (5) Access.
