Abstract

The educational context has become fertile ground for exploring the potential application of mobile handheld devices to support learning. The aim of this paper is to present the results of the implementation of a collaborative educational activity (m.Activity) using smartphones. This paper identifies the key elements that support ubiquitous communication and interaction of groups of university students in a context that requires an intense level of interactivity and communication for the delivery of short-term assignments.
