  • M-learning (mobile learning) in practice: a training experience with it professionals Amarolinda Zanela Saccol Nicolau Reinhard Eliane Schlemmer Jorge L. V. Barbosa Ingeniería learning Mobile Learning Competences development Mobile and Wireless Technologies This paper presents the results of a study that addresses the following question: what are the real possibilities of m-learning (mobile learning) for the development of individual competences and also for collaboration in the organizational setting? The paper analyzes a real experience in m-learning for training IT professionals. For this purpose a mobile virtual learning environment called COMTEXT was developed and implemented, which was designed to support competence development for workers using PocketPCs. The participants of the training activity (13 professionals) evaluated the m-learning experience via a structured questionnaire; all the content and interactions within COMTEXT were analyzed via content analysis. The results generated important insights into the ergonomic, technological and pedagogical possibilities and limitations of mobile and wireless technologies for corporate training and also on methodologies and learning tools that can be applied to m-learning. As an exploratory study, it also indicates issues for further research on m-learning in the organizational context. 2010 artículo científico 1807-1775 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=203219572002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=2032 JISTEM: Journal of Information Systems and Technology Management application/pdf Universidade de São Paulo JISTEM: Journal of Information Systems and Technology Management (Brasil) Num.2 Vol.7
