Abstract

This article describes the implementation of technology resources in mobile learning (mlearning) environments, with particular emphasis on distance education environments. The purpose is to analyze implications and challenges related to the implementation of these educative innovations. This paper presents the theoretical conceptualizations and discusses practical implementation of mlearning in multimodal distance learning settings. Operative implications discussed are: (1) the technology sequence to follow, (2) design of the technology set up; and (3) integration of diverse learning environments. Challenges that must be addressed include: (1) support forwireless networks, (2) storage capacity for mobile devices, and (3) the set up of the content of the resources.
