A new range of devices is now breaking many of the final shackles of computing use that were not conducive to effective educational practice.

Análisis prospectivo de las potencialidades asociadas al Mobile Learning - 0 views

    Podríamos definir el Mobile learning como una nueva forma de educación creada a partir de la conjunción entre el e-learning y la utilización de los smart devices/ dispositivos móviles inteligentes (pda`s, smartphones, Ipods, pocket PCs, teléfonos móviles 3G, consolas, …), y que se fundamenta en la posibilidad que nos ofrecen estos nuevos dispositivos, de combinar la movilidad geográfica con la virtual, lo cual permite el aprender dentro de un contexto, en el momento en que se necesita y explorando y solicitando la información precisa que se necesita saber. Nos encontramos cada día más inmersos en una sociedad basada en la información y el conocimiento. Un conocimiento que se deriva de la interpretación y la contextualización de dicha información, a la que accedemos gracias a un uso más fácil e intensivo de las nuevas Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) de las que actualmente disponemos. A medida que ha ido en aumento el número de usuarios se ha pasado de un concepto eminentemente instrumental, basado en su vertiente tecnológica, tanto en dispositivos como en las diferentes modalidades de acceso, a una interpretación cada vez más centrada en el usuario y en los servicios que éste consume y genera. Se trata de la llamada sociedad de la información, consolidada definitivamente con la globalización derivada del fenómeno Internet.
