Abstract

M-learning  is  presented  as  a  response  to  the  constant  technological  modifications  emerging  in  our  time,  such changes are potential candidates to improve the traditional education system.Today, there are still some current models used in the traditional education system that have become obsolete due largely to lack of renovation and engaging emerging technologies of our time. In today's worldthe student has to reach a lot of information  which  was  previously  difficult  to  access,  however,  the  challenge  is  now,  not  only  focuses  on  the  approach  to  such information, but that the student is ready to analyze it and use it properly in the present.Within this panorama, the mobile e-learning (m-learning) is a response to the constant technological changes emerging in the world, taking into account these changes renewed and enriched education resulting in better development and preparation of students obtained .To  support  this,  several  case  studies  are  analyzed  in  different  educational  levels  where  the  m-learning  is  applied  as  an effective learning strategy, it seeks to publicize the advantages and disadvantages posed by the use of such technology, and identifying the challenges that are needed to address.Furthermore, data were also collected through the application of a survey on the state of Veracruz in Mexico, in different high  schools  about  using  mobile  devices,  the  method  to  use  is  judgmental  sampling,  with  the  aim  of  finally  establish  proposals to achieve a successful implementation of m-learning.As  a  last  step,  in  order  to  measure  the  effectiveness  of  the  given  proposals,  they  are  applied  in  a  case  of  study  conducted within a secondary school, also in the state of Veracruz in Mexico.
