Abstract: The current global pandemic situation has forced universities to opt for distance education, relying on digital tools that are currently available, such as course management platforms like Moodle, videoconferencing applications like Google Meet or Zoom, or instant messaging apps like WhatsApp. In this study it is detailed that these tools have made virtual education an effective alternative to provide education without having a physical space where teachers and students can concentrate. In addition, this document shows that in this form of teaching learning it is not necessary to have a computer, it is enough to have a cell phone to access this type of education in Peru, since most of the country’s homes have a smartphone . Both students and teachers affirm that, although a little more time is invested than usual, this teaching method is satisfactory. The result obtained is that the use of mobile applications plays a very important role in virtual classes since the vast majority of students use the cell phone. In conclusion, teaching and learning in higher university education with the use of mobile applications, both teachers and students said that it was of great help due to the interaction through communication with WhatsApp, zoom, Google meet, among others.
