Abstract


The increasing use of mobile technologies has led distance education programs to adopt several new models of learning. Herewith, Mobile Learning has been used inside and outside the classroom as a powerful teaching tool. In this paper, we present an experience report on applying M-Learning to a distance teachers training course at college level carried out at the UFPB Virtual. The results demonstrate the benefits this type of learning can bring and also indicates the weaknesses of its present format.
