泛在学习:在理想与现实之间

U-learning:Between the Ideal and Reality

泛在学习是一种无处不在、随时随地的学习，它符合人类终身学习的需求，是社会发展的历史必然。但在世界范围内，泛在学习仍然是一种理想，不同国家或地区的推进程度差异很大，尤其是在亚非拉国家的农村、边远地区，理想的实现还有很长的路要走。技术的发展，尤其互联网、移动互联网等网络技术的发展，融入并改变了现实世界，影响了人类的生产、生活、思维等方式，对教育同样产生了革命性影响。教育领域中虚拟大学、开放教育资源运动、可汗学院等六个“革命性影响冶事件就是最好的例证。因此，我们认为，网络是实现泛在学习的主要路径。国家开放大学是以促进全民终身学习为宗旨、以现代信息技术为支撑的新型大学，学校的性质、理念和使命决定了她必然是推进泛在学习的重要载体和典型案例。近年来，学校正在搭建网络学习环境，建设、聚集和推送网络学习资源，探索基于网络的学习模式等，以朝理想目标迈进。

Ubiquitous learning (U-learning) is the type of learning which can occur anywhere and anytime. In alignment with the human needs of lifelong learning， U-learning is a historical necessity of social development. However， U-learning is still in its infancy stage and varies across countries and regions. There is a long way to realization， especially for the rural areas and remote areas in underdeveloped countries and regions. The development of technology， especially the development of Internet， mobile Internet and other network technology， while integrating and transforming the real world， affected the human production， life， thinking mode， also produced a revolutionary influenceon education. These six ＂ revolutionary＂ events， Virtual University， open educational resources， Khan Academy and so on are the best examples. We can conclude that developing the network-based solution is the main path of Y-learning. The Open University of China (OUC) is a new type of university which supported by modern information technology; the OUC purpose is to promote lifelong learning for all individuals. The nature， concept and mission decide that OUC must be an important carrier and typical case of U-learning. In recent years， OUC has been making exploration and practice in the online learning environment construction， online learning resources development， aggregation and push， and the online learning mode exploration. OUC is moving toward the ideal goal.
