Resumen de Microentornos de aprendizaje en dispositivos móviles
The use of last generation mobile devices (smartphones and tablets) has spread rapidly in the last few years. Its use goes beyond the traditional use of mobile phones and it ́s usual to see people, mainly young people, interacting with their devices while travelling by metro, bus, etc. All these situations share the fact that they turn short waiting periods of time or travelling in leisure time due to the offered connectivity and screening options of these devices that can also share learning times. In order to turn these new leisure times into learning times, our purpose is to offer con- tents as micro learning units, no longer than fifteen minutes, taking advantage from the mobile devices technology connectivity that we have. This situation allows us to manage new electronic format materials and it also enables the training centers to use their virtual platforms and the teachers blogs as support tools for students adapted to these devices. In this way we can offer the students “low cost-time” materials that can be showed in micro-contents electronic formats requiring short learning times. With this proposal we aim that students use these new learning resources from their mobile devices, thus breaking their bad image as recreational tools maily used only in social nets, gaming and photo and video recorded interchange.
