M-learning: Connecting teaching and learning inside and outside of school

Abstract

The educational use of mobile devices, known as m-learning, is currently an alternative with great potential to address the crisis of the relevance of education as a social mechanism of the 21st century. To address this issue, a systematic literature review on m-learning was conducted, from which it was found that, depending on the use given to mobile devices, at least three types of learning experiences are generated. Additionally, we identified the main advantages of m-learning, its risks, fields of application, and current research focuses.
