Mobile Learning (mlearning) in higher education continues to be widely studied by the academic and scientific community in recent years. Currently, the increase in the use of these devices and their insertion of different sectors of the social, business, political and economic sphere continues, especially by groups of people who are of university student age. This element, added to the fact that universities recognize the need to transform their learning processes, taking into account the constant technological evolution and the cultural transformation that it introduces, maintains an active interest in implementing mobile learning in these institutions. This work carries out a characterization of the state of mobile learning in Cuban institutions of the Ministry of Higher Education, defining a set of premises for the design of a learning model with mobile devices in the MES, as well as the strategy for its implementation. The study allowed to conclude that although progress has been made in terms of wireless infrastructure and mobile Internet indicators in the country and the MES institutions, it is necessary to work on a set of aspects and policies that allow increasing the use of mobile devices in university processes.
