  • Abstract
    This article focuses on the issue of the use of mobile technologies, especially on online Laboratories, as a support to professional development of adults in the work situation in Senegal. More specifically, how mobile learning can be a solution to access to education for nomadic professionals working specifically in the area of computer networks? This issue is at the heart of a doctoral research underway in the context of the creation of the Senegalese Virtual University (SVU) primarily to adequately solve the problem of mass enrollment in university.
