This article analyses the contribution and uses of the Whatsapp application in the process of collaborative learning. For this, the app-learning experience described in this article was articulated through the association of a didactic drawing connected to pedagogical and educative practices that favors ubiquitous learning combined to app-learning experiences that materializes space-time in the use of WhatsApp. That way, coming from the epistemological perspective of the Actor-Web theory on the analysis of controversies, the argument here defended is that the subject’s association to the objects of its mediations, translations and scheduling favors the teaching-learning process and the development of a pedagogical practice, one that is more articulated between the involved - human or not and integrated to the cultural practices of the Cyberculture. As method, the study of the qualitative case and of descriptive matter are used. The obtained results make it possible to conclude that the subjects’ engagement regarding the use of Whatsapp, articulated to the didactic drawing and the pedagogical proposal, configures an app-learning experience, mainly by the establishment of mediation processes of teaching and learning.

Keywords : App-learning; Education; Cyberculture.
