Abstract	Smartphones and tablets have become essential tools in users' daily life, as they include a whole range of digital services, enlarging the connection to the virtual world. Nonetheless, the use of these tools in the educational context, known as mobile learning, is still a recent and scarcely embraced practice. A 1-day MOOC (massive open online course) was devised to raise awareness of the potential of mobile devices in the teaching-learning process, aiming at increasing lower secondary education teachers´ adhesion to this approach. This article is intended to present the experience of creating the first out of four course modules/units. This module, entitled "Contexts", is focused on the change of paradigm in educational contexts due to the fact that mobile devices enable ubiquitous learning. The pedagogical strategies adopted in the development of the module, the technologies used to meet the needs and the purposes are described. Participants' comments on the debate activities were analysed and they reinforce the need to invest in infrastructures, to promote teachers' proactivity and to ensure preconditions for a success of the integration of mobile devices. Participants pointed out both teachers and schools as barriers to the introduction of mobile learning, highlighting teachers' lack of motivation and commitment as well as school infrastructure problems. Conclusions drawn from this experience point to an increasing interest in mobile learning and participants' awareness of both its advantages and the obstacles to implementing it.
