Mobile Cloud Computing, an Information Technology infrastructure option in Ubiquitous Education processes

Abstract

New information technologies have caused significant changes in the way in which information is now accessed, an area in which these changes have forced to generate new dynamics that involve information technologies is in the field of Education. This paper presents a state of the art of cloud computing and Mobile cloud computing as technologies that support the implementation of the ubiquitous learning environment. Subsequently, educational projects are presented that rely in the use of ubiquitous information technologies. Finally, in the Analysis section, a critique is presented about the incorporation of these technologies in the teaching / learning processes, and the conclusions highlight the importance of incorporating information and communications technologies, especially cloud computing and mobile cloud computing in the processes of education it locates.
