Abstract
There is greater awareness in educational system regarding benefits authentic learning experiences bring to the learning process. As a result, ubiquitous educational environments have started to gain acceptance in mainstream education. These environments break the boundaries of the classroom and enable learning to take place in the contexts where learners are able to relate with the learning scenarios in their own living and work environments, leading to better learning experience. This chapter focuses on various contexts that arise in such environments where seamless immersion of formal and informal activities and interactions has potential to contribute to the learning process. With particular focus on adaptivity for individual learners, the chapter explores the diminishing boundaries of formal and informal learning, and the potential of location-aware context-sensitive approaches that are emerging as successor of Web 2.0 paradigm.
