“…Mobile learning is becoming an increasingly promising way of delivering instruction in higher education (El-Hussein & Cronje, 2010).Students are regarded as pioneers in forcing the faculty to change and adapt m-learning (Franklin, 2011).Mobile learning has the potential to transform learning from being highly intentional, structured, and directed, to an experience that is able to value informal and open learner-centered activity more continues to warrant consideration, for example in the design of tasks and learner engagement with the curriculum in general. In a study by Heath et al, (2005), mobile devices and mobile applications increased students' perception of their confidence with course content. By quickly accessing course documents and uploading and posting course content anywhere, students highlighted the advantages of using mobile devices in learning and spoke of the value of mobile learning as defined by Traxler (2010) and Sharples et al, (2007).…”

In this study, smartphone was used to alter the traditional procedure by involving students in active learning experiences prior to the laboratory meeting. The researcher surveyed students' view on the effect of using smartphone to enhance learning in the general physics laboratory. The use of smartphone was evaluated by having 120 students who enrolled in the Fall Semester 2013 at a Chinese university general physics laboratory fill out subjective opinion survey forms. Results showed smartphone was a very useful tool to provide background on the lab safety information, administrative requirements, general knowledge of physics lab equipment, but not very useful to show how to write a laboratory report. This was because the laboratory report evaluation was according to the individual instructor's specific preferences. Interestingly, it was also found male students prefer smartphone learning strategy more than female students, although no significance was presented.

“…hacen de las TICs. Estos resultados difieren de los encontrados en otros trabajos (Heath et al, 2005;Gikas y Grant, 2013;Vega-Hernández et al, 2018) en los que se mostraba una amplia interacción del alumnado con los materiales del curso y con el resto de estudiantes. Asimismo, se aprecian diferencias en cuanto al tipo de dispositivo y red social preferida por el alumnado.…”

Universidad del País Vasco (UPV/EHU) RESUMENEste trabajo examina, desde la perspectiva del alumnado, la relación entre diversos métodos de enseñanza y el uso de dispositivos electrónicos y redes sociales en la Facultad de Economía y Empresa de la Universidad del País Vasco (UPV/EHU). La metodología utilizada incluye técnicas estadísticas multivariantes y análisis clúster. Los resultados muestran que la penetración de la tecnología móvil y de las redes sociales en el entorno universitario se caracteriza por una amplia diversidad, tanto en el uso de redes sociales como en la percepción que el alumnado tiene sobre la contribución de las herramientas de la web 2.0 en su proceso de aprendizaje.

“…Student perception of m-learning initiatives are generally positive: students believe mobile devices help them engage with content (Gikas & Grant, 2013) and increase their confidence as learners (Heath et al, 2005). A variety of m-learning features and learning tools enabled through smartphones, including push notifications, dynamic timed quizzes, videos and engagement loops, show some successes in enriching various aspects of student experience (Oates, Pechenkina, Laurence, Eldridge, & Hunter, 2016).…”

Mobile applications (apps) are used in higher education (HE) in a variety of ways, including as learning tools, study organisers, for marketing, and recruitment of new students. Purposed with easing student transition into university life, organiser apps have a capacity to assist students with various aspects of university experience, freeing up time and energy for study, while apps used as learning tools can help students solidify the content of lectures, self-test their knowledge of the subject, and collaborate with peers. Despite the proliferation of HE apps, there is still no systematic understanding of this field, with a number of important questions remaining unanswered, such as what types of apps are most commonly found in HE, what their complex uses are, and how their affordances and functionalities are deployed by universities and students. This study addresses this gap. After analysing 177 apps affiliated with Australian universities, a typology of HE apps is proposed. Study management and navigation apps emerge as the most common types of apps offered to students, with augmented and/or virtual reality apps forming another key category. New insights are offered pertaining to the complex terrain of HE mobile apps, and problematic areas arising from this research, such as safety, student support, privacy, and equity, are discussed.
