Mobile learning is raising growing expectations and is considered by some authors the next disruptive revolution in education. Cognitive and pedagogical theories supporting this prospect are reviewed. How these theories can be translated into meaningful educational practices is analysed by exploring ways of usage of mobile devices for supporting learning and teaching. Finally, a portfolio of experiments and case studies carried out by the Gradient group of the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid testing the application and effects of mobile learning are reported. These experiments show that the use of these devices is changing educational practices in a fundamental way.6 p.application/pdfeng© 2012 IEEEe-LearningTechnology-enhanced learningMobile learningconference paperTelecomunicaciones10.1109/EDUCON.2012.6201199open access16IEEE International Conference EDUCON: Proceedings of the 2012 IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON), Marrakech, Morocco 17-20 April 2012CC/0000021186
