The incorporation of Information, Communication and Technologies in the field of education has allowed for great changes in both teaching and learning. This incorporation has led to the generation of new scenarios in which these processes are developed. Ubiquitous education arises from the evolution of Information Technology and its incorporation into the teaching-learning processes, seeking to bring learning closer to the learners, thus achieving a context-based education. This paper is a state of the art presentation of the identification of four main aspects that must be taken into account, for the adequate inclusion of ubiquitous education in a training process. The four aspects identified here are: areas of knowledge in which it can be applied, educational levels in which it can be implemented, information technologies that facilitate the implementation of digital resources to carry out this type of learning, and learning models that intervene in ubiquitous learning These aspects are covered from the perspective of authors who have worked on them, providing a perspective of the aspects that should be considered for an adequate incorporation of ubiquitous education in an appropriate context. Finally, a generalized context of what has been presented and the conclusions obtained from its development are presented through a mental map.
