This paper describes the design and development of an ubiquitous learning system for students who are initiating educational qualitative studies. The learning system aims to enhance the mobility of field research that it allows students to access teaching and learning assets when they are in the field, and traces learners’ research progress on the web. Therefore, the paper proposes a research problem-based learning (RPBL) model as the system structure in order to lead students through a systematic pedagogical process, but at the same time makes adaptive learning possibilities available through the customizable task list. The preliminary formative evaluation suggests minor modification of the system and provides positive feedbacks to its instructional use and development.
