The intensive use of information Technologies has created conditions for the development of a new mode of educational mediation called mobile learning. Considering that there is still little knowledge about the practices and experiences of mobile learning on a large scale and at na institutional level, this study aimed to develop a framework to support the implementation of mobile media in formal teaching, integratedin to distance education programs and with scalability and sustainability requirements. A research process was adopted, based on the Design-Based Research approach, which is a type of research that is developed in real contexts and focused on the design and tests of educational interventions in partnership with professionals of the application area. At the development phase of the research process, a series of decisions were made that established the outline of the initiative, developed a mobile media and evaluated the process. Then the mobile media was applied in a real learning context and the initiative was evaluated from the students' perspective. The framework is presented through a representative diagram of the main stages and implementation activities, as well as a set of design principles that guide the implementation process of the educational mobile media. Implementation stages and their principles deal with: (a) implementation outline and demarcation, (b) design and production of the media and (c) delivery and dissemination of the media in the learning environment.
