In this work ubiquitous learning technologies are applied to Chinese  scenic poetry appreciation. A folksonomy-based approach is proposed to  accumulate knowledge about poems and their corresponding scenic spots. A  user can use a “Tagging” operation by a smart phone to associate a  concept (a word, a phrase or a sentence) with a scenic spot. These  associations will be recorded in a folksonomy, which is then transformed  into a Learning Guidance Tree to support personalized guidance in  u-learning environments. The purpose of this work is to propose a  folksonomy-based guidance mechanism. Also, we attempt to find students’  and teachers’ attitudes towards the innovative application through a  case study. To show the effectiveness of the innovative approach, a  ubiquitous learning system was developed to conduct Chinese scenic  poetry appreciation activities for a fifth-grade Chinese course in  Taiwan, in which forty-eight students participated. The survey results  show that the system had a positive impact on students’ learning,  especially on the affective domain including participation, motivation  and interaction.
