Abstract:
Mobile technologies are currently present in many instructional areas from basic levels to higher education. This work is focused on studying the impact of these technologies in lifelong learning contexts, and more exactly, concerning adult education. To this end, an approach is proposed to organize the different items involved within an instructional process with the purpose of taking advantage from the use of mobile devices. Such approach has been applied in a course addressed to people older than 55 years where the potential of mobile technologies has been assessed to promote a more customized learning adapted to the adult learner profile
