Mobile devices as scenario for online learning in virtual conditions

Abstract

Technological advances arise in response to information and communication needs. For this reason, mobile devices appear as a new social, cultural and educational paradigm that cannot go unnoticed in higher education, which aims to be inclusive and attached to technologies. The mobile phone, tablets, laptop are not only for social networks and the internet, but they can be used in multitudes of settings from an educational perspective. It does not mean that we should allow their uncontrolled use, but rather consider the possibilities they offer, since in various centers their use is prohibited, trends that go precisely in the opposite direction. The objective of this predominantly quantitative research is to present the results of an exploratory study with a descriptive approach about the use and disposition expressed by students and teachers with mobile devices as scenarios for learning in virtual conditions.
