Abstract

This paper presents a teaching/learning experiment on the use of MITAppI2 as a friendly tool in Automation courses. The goal was to assess if the up-to-date mobile applications can act as promoters in learning automation topics. The experiment took place in two Portuguese universities. The results achieved point towards a successful use of these tools in university classes.
