mLearning Literacy
Much has been written about mobile learning and various theoretical frameworks have been developed to underpin the studies that have been reported. A fundamental question that this paper asks is where does digital literacy fit in with the learning that uses mobile devices? This conceptual paper will explore several questions about mlearning literacy- the digital literacy associated with learning with mobile devices. It will argue that fundamental to learning with mobile devices is the need to develop the associated digital literacy in students. While much of the literacies will be common across the use of technology in general, there are other skills and knowledge associated with learning with mobile devices that need to be emphasized, both in the formal and informal contexts. These include technical and conceptual skills such as the differences between devices, the affordances and limitations offered by mobile applications and the multimodality of representing concepts in mobile devices. The paper advocates that being mlearning literate would empower students to learn better and safer with mobile devices and their applications.
