Abstract

M-learning is a learning process supported by the use of mobile and wireless technologies, where the mobility of the learners plays a key role. This article aimed to identify if the undergraduate students from Business Administration course use mobile devices for their development, whether because of individual or corporate initiative. A survey was performed with 141 respondents. Results show that this use is still incipient. The main barriers that challenge the use of mobile devices cited were: services being unavailable, fear of being robbed, and high cost of mobile equipment and data connection.
