  • Abstract
    The aim of the article was to explore the possibility of incorporation of mobile technology into university course environment. Quantitative approach in the form of questionnaire was selected as appropriate. Students at the course answered questions focused on their hardware and software equipment, utilization of their devices for the study, curiosity and attitudes towards collaborative project development. The questionnaire also covered practical tasks for smartphone and tablet users. These practical tasks aimed to show how the students are used to solve problems using mobile technology, but there was also a question whether by the use of mobile technologies these tasks will be more interesting for students and if they show creativity.
