AB New mobile devices are changing the habits andpreferences of students and instructors. In spite of the everincreasing market and software utilities that appear everyday,relatively little is known about the way the students use thesetools in their study tasks. To alleviate this lack, a survey hasbeen conducted with university students trying to portray howthey use mobile devices in their studying activities.As a main result we see that more than half of the students usesome mobile devices in their study tasks with different intensity,being the smartphone the preferred device. Some discrepancieshave been found when comparing their use in the academiccontext and in the real life. The influence of the use of mobiledevices on the way in which the students work is also studied; thehabit of studying in-group and using mobile devices are closelyrelated. Finally, the role of instructors, encouraging or forbiddingthe use of mobile devices, has also been analyzed. From the resultsof our survey, we can conclude the professors do not supportenough the use of these devices for learning.
