Paper Abstract:
|
This paper presents an exploratory study about the adoption of m-learning practices in Brazil, especially regarding its
application in organizations. The research results show that m-learning has been experimentally adopted in the academic
setting, and that applications in companies are rare. Its development is faced with several challenges, including resistance
to new technologies and learning practices, technical and economic challenges for its use, as well as pedagogical and
social/contextual issues. |
