The impact of mobile devices on the transformation and evolution of literacy in the digital era

• In Event: DELT- Game-Based Learning, Mobile Learning, and Informal Learning Contexts

Short Description

Growing use of mobile devices is changing communities around the world, remodeling the ways people communicate, educate, collaborate, and engage with one another. In this proposal, we propose adopting Mobile Digital Literacies (MDLS) as a term, which is concerned with the role mobile devices play in the world of digital literacy. MDLS can be defined as an individual’s ability to identify, understand, interpret, create, and communicate using features and functionality of a mobile phone.
