Quality indicators to evaluate good teaching practices of mobile learning in Higher Education

Abstract

Mobile learning stands as an emerging methodology that is already being applied in different educational stages, so it is necessary to focus on the type of practices that are being implemented with mobile devices. The objective of this paper has been to establish a system of quality indicators to evaluate good practices of mobile learning in Higher Education. For this, a rigorous process has been followed in the preparation of each of the indicators, which has been validated by the technique of expert judgment. As a main result, a system of 25 indicators is established, grouped into 5 variables, to be implemented in university educational contexts where the mobile learning methodology is applied. In summary, the exposed system serves as a reference model to discern between the simple introduction of mobile devices for their planned use and with pedagogical character.
