Abstract

Technological innovations are rapidly growing and changing, and it is hard to ignore their role and influence in people’s daily activities. This particularly applies to universities and to the learning activities of students. That is, these technologies have become ubiquitous, which is confirmed in the survey conducted among pre-service teachers, in that each of the respondents (N = 331) uses (one or at least one of) these technological devices and/or Web-based tools everyday. In order to determine the role of these ubiquitous technologies (u-technologies) in learning, the authors focus on the students’ preferences and experiences with u-technologies. The survey results provide information about which particular technological devices and Web-based tools/applications the students prefer and use for specific purposes, particularly for learning and knowledge management activities. Thus, this chapter provides a glimpse of what students prefer and use as well as an analysis of issues and perspectives in the context of learning with u-technologies in higher education.
