Résumé
The higher education plays a fundamental role in the society transformation in all of its dimensions,
namely teaching, educational management, vision and creation of business and professions. The
combination of new challenges in higher education with the increase of mobile technologies (one of
the digital transformation pillars) leads to an intensification in teaching opportunities and demands of
new teaching methods development. Due to this, several concepts from the e_learning, to u_learning
appeared. Therefore, it is critical to understand whether users (students and professors) are receptive
and aware to adapt to this new paradigm before deciding to implement teaching-learning methods
based on mobile technology. In this context, the aim of the study presented is to investigate if higher
education professors, in the technology area, in South Europe and South America countries, are using
Mobile Learning with gamification and augmented reality apps and how they can be used to promote
student’s engagement inside and outside of the classroom, in order to prepare the students for a new
reality – the digital transformation.
