Disruption of face-to-face modality in universities with the use of mobile technology and multimodal learning platforms

Abstract

According to the official figures of the United Nations (UN), the planet was inhabited by the month of November 2022, more than eight billion people and of these, more than five billion people for the same year used a mobile device or rather a smartphone,  amount that may increase due to the technological innovations that accompany the production of mobile technologies; 65 percent of the world's population uses mobile telephony in their daily lives, its use being an inclusive element in people living in rural areas and in this way through the use of mobile telephony they can immediately access the teaching and learning processes that are taught at any level of education. This research is presented with the aim of offering an analysis on how the use of Cellular Telephony has a disruptive effect on traditional education. When we talk about traditional teaching we refer to the face-to-face modality in which the teaching and learning processes in the educational field are strongly entrenched. This research is presented under a quantitative positivist approach, based on a type of descriptive research with a field-translational design. The application of an electronic instrument yielded highly significant responses to establish the disruption of the face-to-face modality with the use of mobile technology and multimodal learning platforms, thus achieving the consolidation of distance education with the use of multimodal platforms through the tools of Communication and Information Technology (ICT) through the use of mobile mobile telephony devices.
