“…Educational institutions have shown great interest in incorporating mobile learning (m_learning) into their TLP (Moreira and Ferreira, 2017;Moreira et al, 2016;Delialioglu and Alioon, 2016). However, there must be increased concern on the part of decisionmakers in the adoption of technology in the TLP, because it is not enough to apply and use the technology alone, but to develop methodologies that allow the proper integration of these technologies.…”

The pervasive digitization is now a reality for organizations and society at large. In the last decade, for example, smartphones have been gradually transforming their scope from just voice communications providers to powerful media and computing devices. This transformation has led to a growth in business initiatives, namely in the services provision through mobile applications. In this context, higher education as an organization and part of society is compelled to change its operant mode in general and in particular in the teaching-learning process making it more digital and at the same time more motivating for students. The aim of this study is to investigate the perception that higher education professors in the area of technology, across Southern Europe, South America, and Asia have about the use of mobile technologies such as gamification and augmented reality and how they can be used to promote student’s engagement inside and outside of the classroom.

“…In addition to the above, the rational of the proposed approach used the model proposed in [74] that highlights the need to define the students profile and their prior knowledge, something basic for educational improvement [75], in order to help to select the right tools and the design and development of teaching materials. The approach consists of five different components with a defined sequence (Fig.…”

The learning teaching paradigm in higher education is currently undergoing great transformation due to the irrefutable imposition, on the one hand, of the new technologies and, on the other, by the characteristics (habits and abilities) presented by the students that arrive to universities. These factors are not compatible with the teaching methodologies commonly used to date, that is, with the traditional model (lectures) consolidated in the nineteenth century. In this context, teachers who resort to active learning have attracted a lot of attention, since this type of approach stimulates students' motivation and autonomy to acquire more competencies and is one of the guidelines of the European Norms and Guidelines for Quality in Higher Education. Thus, as a way of responding to these challenges, an innovative pilot project was developed, from the pedagogical point of view, implemented in a first cycle course (Management and Information Systems) using active methodologies. In this framework, an approach called ECLECTIC was developed and implemented with the use of three active learning techniques (group project, peer review and peer teaching) in the "New Trends in IT" course, from first semester, second year. The results obtained are very promising, since they have allowed students to engage in and out of the classroom and have resulted in a high-rate course success.

“…Moreira, et al [2] present a study on m_learning in which are summarized the definitions of m_learning presented in the literature. The latter definition dates from 2017 and extends the scope of other definitions by considering m_learning as "the learning strategy that provides students with the 21st century learning capabilities in order to enable them to use the wide range of the portable computing devices" [7].…”

“…Following this line of reasoning, from the organizations point of view, DT can be seen as a deep and accelerating transformation with regard to processes, activities, competences and models, in order to take advantage of the changes and opportunities offered by the inclusion of digital technologies into an organization. On the other hand, Uhl and Gollenia [4] enrich the DT concept, arguing that the adoption of technology-based change is focused on four technology enablers: (1) cloud computing, (2) mobile, (3) social, and (4) big data -analytics.…”

“…The higher education plays a fundamental role in the society transformation in all of its dimensions, namely teaching, educational management, vision and creation of business and professions. The expected evolution/transformation in terms of the potential introduced by the adoption of technology and virtual approaches to the teaching-learning process (TLP) [1], mobile learning (m_learning) [2] and ubiquitous learning (u_learning) [3], are still in an embryonic state. Since, these approaches are used, but professors do not sufficiently exploit their potential and the objectives for which they were proposed.…”

The higher education plays a fundamental role in the society transformation in all of its dimensions, namely teaching, educational management, vision and creation of business and professions. The combination of new challenges in higher education with the increase of mobile technologies (one of the digital transformation pillars) leads to an intensification in teaching opportunities and demands of new teaching methods development. Due to this, several concepts from the e_learning, to u_learning appeared. Therefore, it is critical to understand whether users (students and professors) are receptive and aware to adapt to this new paradigm before deciding to implement teaching-learning methods based on mobile technology. In this context, the aim of the study presented is to investigate if higher education professors, in the technology area, in South Europe and South America countries, are using Mobile Learning with gamification and augmented reality apps and how they can be used to promote student's engagement inside and outside of the classroom, in order to prepare the students for a new reality-the digital transformation.
