One of the most sophisticated expressions of online training is based on ubiquitous learning systems (u-learning). Such learning, which uses embedded computers, allows students to have very personal educational experiences. Yet, it has not reached broad consensus in academia. A systematic review of scientific literature was conducted to explore approaches to ubiquitous learning in formal education and to identify the characteristics and results of its implementation. Scientific research on ubiquitous learning published in the last five years was retrieved from the Science Direct, IEEE and SciELO databases. Although the term can be confused with other similar terms, the results show that u-learning is a matter of interest because it benefits from information and communication technologies (ICT) convergence in everyday life and enhances the capabilities of education by breaking down barriers in the classroom. Thus, the model proves to be suitable for implementation in educational institutions with good results among teachers and students. Finally, ubiquitous learning is recognized as a valuable strategy to enhance learning in a constantly evolving academic environment, and its novel features are the key to achieving acceptance among most students.
