The general objective was the development of a strategic matrix of operation of Moodle resources and activities in mobile devices for open education, parametrizing online educational technologies viable-possible of operationalization in the tripod virtual environment-mobile device-open education. For such, we realized an Educational Action Research containing five spiral cycles of self-reflection. Each cycle involved 4 phases. 1 - Plan: We planned innovations in the didactic modules to operate on mobile devices. 2 - Act: we developed practical experiments of customization of the materials in the CTS-UAB-PAP test Subject, backup of the CTS original Subject. 3 - Observe: we tested the materials with egress from the course Teacher Formation for Professional Education, CTS Subject, using the dialogic guide as data collection technique. 4 - Reflect: we reflected critically on the results achieved so far to re-plan. The theoretical reference mentioned was Educational Action Research, Education as freedom Practice, Free Software Social Movement, Open Educational Resources, Study Activities, documents published by United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization and the Open University of Brazil system. The main result pointed the adequate functioning of the 11 resources and 4 activities used in the CTS-UAB-PAP test Subject on the Moodle in tablets and smartphones. We produced a hypermedia book in Moodle as a product, in the form of a teacher tutorial, for the face-to-face, blended and online learning modalities. Thus, we concluded that the possible school innovation consists in mobile learning, consequently in opportunity of free access for the quality education.
