The ubiquitous learning is used as a means of supporting teaching processes by means of the use of mobile and wireless communication technologies, sensors and tracking mechanisms / tracking, working together to integrate students with their environment. The process of clinical learning for nursing students may be the main cause of increased stress on teachers and students, given the problematic nature of the patients. This paper presents an ubiquitous learning system based on active learning methodology that provides context awareness support for nursing courses. An experiment with control and experimental groups with nursing students demonstrates that for theoretical concepts to be successfully transferred into practice, the context of practice needs to be considered.
