Diseño de estrategias de aprendizaje móvil en educación superior a través de un proceso de formación docente

Abstract

The primary objective of this research study was to strengthen the design of mobile learning strategies at the University of La Sabana (Colombia) through a professor training process. This was a qualitative study with a descriptive scope. The sample included all professors who completed the training process in each of the cohorts (n1=12; n2=7). The results showed that more specific examples should be added for each discipline in the face-to-face phase and that time lenght should be better adjusted in the virtual phase. This is since professors tend to take on new responsibilities, which leads to not completing and abandoning the process. It is concluded that mobile learning strategies can be strengthened given that each professor acknowledge what mobile learning implies and learnt how to integrate the learning strategies designed during the training process.
