Opis:Mobile learning is a field of research and educational practice that is rapidly expanding, so it is necessary to know its potential in education and learning. In this paper, we report on the results of a study with the objectives of knowing, identifying, and assessing applications, frequency, benefits, difficulties that mobile devices represent to enable ubiquitous and mobile learning of college students. Through questionnaires and protocols of life histories, an intercontinental sample with the participation of 875 students from eight countries was accessed. The main findings show that the laptop still is preferred for Internet access over the mobile phone, as well as for academic activities: preparation of work, study, search for information, exchange of notes and group work. However, the mobile phone is increasing its acceptance among students to achieve learning.
