    The popularization and massive use of Web 2.0 tools by students changes the how their academic activities are carried out and therefore also influence the way in which students learn. This has led to many researchers and scholars to study the Personal Learning Environments. On the other hand, most of people have a mobile electronic device (smartphones and tablets) and its use in education evidence some positive results. These two technological trends in our educational contexts allow us to study what is known as Mobile Personal Learning Environments (mPLE).

    The present study investigates the use of Learning Management Systems as tools constituting student’s Personal Learning Environments in the degree of Informatics Applied to Education in the National University of Chimborazo – Ecuador. The main result of this work is that there is an increasing number of courses that rely on virtual classrooms, but learning occurs both in and out of these learning environments. This study is the starting point for future research on the relevance, impact, and effectiveness of incorporating Learning Management Systems in university teaching, as well as on relations and possibilities of integration between them, Personal Learning environments, and mobile learning trends.
