Abstract

M-learning has been tested and investigated in the last decade in different levels of education, from K12 to higher education. However, academic studies reporting concrete m-learning experiences in the corporate environment are still rare. Considering this gap of knowledge, this paper analyzes two cases of corporate m-learning using COMTEXT® a Mobile Virtual Learning Environment-MVLE, developed by the authors. It discusses the different elements involved in m-learning practices in organizations, including: 1 ergonomic, technological and pedagogical affordances; 2 limitations of mobile and wireless technology use in corporate m-learning; 3 methodologies and learning tools that can be applied; 4 the intricacies between the different types of mobility involved in m-learning activities in a corporate environment.
