INTRODUCTION
Research on PLE and its applications, are contributing
significantly to the development of education in developed
countries, (Ally, 2009; Conde et. al., 2012, 2013; Sha et al.,
2012; Gracía-Peñalvo et al., 2013) being a fairly new topic in
the rest of the world and particularly in Latin America.
Latin American countries have begun to integrate ICT in
education. For example, in Ecuador the universities and
polytechnics, from a few years ago, have focused their efforts
to
incorporate the LMS as a support to face-to-face
teaching.
However, these learning spaces developed on LMS,
are not properly used.

B-learning scenarios are already present in the Ecuadorian
universities, which combine, the face-to-face instruction with
the instruction mediated by computer (Bonk & Graham, 2012)
The National University of Chimborazo (UNACH) in Ecuador,
from about 5 years ago has begun the process of
incorporating the virtual classroom in the teaching.
These virtual spaces are important but aren’t sufficient to
structure the PLE, because much of the process of learning
occurs outside the formality of university (Humanante Ramos
& García Peñalvo, 2013; Conde et al., 2012, 2013,
2014a,2014b) .

INTRODUCTION
HYPOTHESIS
The PLE concept is possible to introduce in
university education in Ecuador, plus these new
learning ecosystems can be enhanced, taking
advantage of features that today offer mobile
devices, allowing students to learn even outside of
university environments, thus favouring positive
convergence between informal use of these
technologies and their use for educational
purposes.
OBJETIVESMAIN OBJETIVE
Maximize the Personal Learning Environments
(PLE) of university students, taking advantage of
the functionalities offered by mobile devices.
OBJETIVESSPECIFIC OBJETIVES
Review the status of the issue on the design and
implementation of PLE in higher education.
Study, evaluate and select technologies and tools
that allow, from a PLE approach, customize and
manage access to resources, learning activities
and personal networks from mobile devices.
Design a proposal to manage the PLE of university
students, to facilitate mobility and its usefulness in
the learning process.
Analyse the proposal through a case study
involving a real learning context.

Mixed research model (quantitative and qualitativeapproach)
Quantitative part of the research is a quasi-experimental study
Qualitative part of the research corresponds to themethod of action-research.
The universe of research would be approximately7000 students (UTECA, 2014), from which thesamples will be obtained

FIRST RESULTS
This research is at the stage of literature review through the
methodology SLR (Systematic Literature Review)
(Kitchenham, 2007; Okoli & Schabram, 2010)
◦ The topics on mobile learning and personal learning
environments in higher education have generated
academic and scientific contributions the last 5 years.
◦ Europe, Asia and North America, are the places where you
have done the most research.
◦ Researchers Conde, Garcia-Penalvo, Alier, Casany, Del
Pozo Piguillem; well as Attwell, Heinemann, and
Kamaraine Deitmer call this new line of research:
“Mobile Personal Learning Environments (mPLE)”

As a progress of this research, has been submitted two
articles in international conferences (TEEM 2013 and IDEE
2014) and has published an article in the journal VAEP RITA
and one accepted in the journal IEEE RITA (indexed
SCOPUS).
Other contributions generated by this research respond to
each of the objectives and the results could be published as
papers.

INTRODUCTION
CONCLUSIONSThis research is presented as a proposal for the integration of mobile
technologies on personal learning processes, adopting a student-
centered approach in university, which is a new line of research in the
scientific and academic field and generates high expectations.
Finally, we should emphasize the important contribution of this thesis
to the improvement of university education in Ecuador, looking beyond
the classrooms, facilitating the development of new skills and abilities
demanded by citizens in this new Knowledge Society.
At this point, we see the pertinence of making the "state of art" through
a Systematic Literature Review, by your effectiveness by facilitating
the development of theoretical and methodological model that orient
and supports this research and answers to the first questions arising
(Kitchenham, 2007; Okoli & Schabram, 2010).
