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.

"This survey asks questions about how students make decisions when using digital technologies, including the Internet, cell phones, and other personal digital devices. This survey is anonymous, so no one will know how you responded. You may skip questions if you want. Please answer honestly with what you think and are doing, not what you have been told to do. On this survey, if the answers have a circle, you can only provide one response. If the answers have a square, you can and should check all that apply. You should be aware that this is a long survey -- 57 questions. The results will be used for discussions with students about how you are making choices when using digital technologies. You should think of this survey as you would think of a homework assignment, because completing the survey will help you to think about your own actions when using digital technologies."
