In the past decade, the popularity of laptops, personal digital devices, mobile phones, digital cameras, e-books, PDAs (personal digital assistants) have changed the learning culture. Handhelds provide flexible and easy access to learners, as they can use these devices anywhere, anytime for learning regardless of their geographical location. Internet use is spreading rapidly into daily life, and directly affecting people’s ideas and behaviour. This changed learning pattern has an impact in many areas including the higher education system. Learning heralded the development and implementation of new and innovative teaching-learning strategies in higher education institutions. U-learning has become a way of life for the majority of higher education students all around the world now days. For most students the advanced technology is a functional tool, one that has greatly changed the way they interact with others and with information as they go about their studies. In u-learning environments, students use computers and wireless gadgets to accomplish a wide range of their academic tasks. Students’ perceptions based on their gender differences affect their learning performance. Male and female students experience online environments differently in several ways, including performance, motivations, perceptions, study habits, and communication behaviours. Thus, this paper is focused on gender differences in ubiquitous learning among male and female university students. The paper also examines the Internet usage of university students with respect to their gender.
