Mobile learning (m-learning) as a training resource for companies

The impact of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has had a significant effect on all areas of society, especially education. In this context, new teaching methodologies are emerging where mobile devices play an important role. This research sought to analyse the digital competences acquired by adults through m-learning training, the starting point being the need to digitally empower the citizen in order to acquire the relevant skills for earning. Undoubtedly, more and more companies have opted for online training courses and require their employees to take them. To this end, a quantitative methodology was carried out through the creation of a 28 tern survey. The sample consisted of a total of 267 students/workers from the Environment and Water Agency of the Regional Government of Andalusia. The results led us to conclude that m-learning, especially involving the use of Smartphones, can achieve significant and favourable results in workers training. However, there remains a lack of skis and media literacy on the proper use of these fools as educational resources.
