The present paper has the goal to provide some insights regarding the current use of mobile technologies for learning. This research was conducted at University of Salamanca and University of Aveiro and took into account the collaboration of 518 students from both universities.
The main results indicate that the students are very willing to use m-learning and there is a relationship between the use of mobile devices (frequency of use of Tablet) and the use of Apps with the global evaluation of m-learning by students. However, most part of students still reported an unawareness and a lack of necessity of these instruments, which brings into light that it is necessary to support and promote the use of these technologies with a curricular and educational purpose by institutions and universities.
