MyMobile

"Mobile Technologies in Lifelong Learning: best practices", is a one year project funded by the European Commission. The key concepts in MOTILL are Lifelong Learning and Mobile Technologies. The MOTILL project investigates how these technologies may impact on the diffusion of a social model where learning and knowledge are accessible to all, regardless of social and economic background, age, gender, religion, ethnicity or disability

This issue of Journal for Computer Assisted Learning compiles a selection of insightful papers and research on the impact of mobile technology on literacy. The effect of text messaging on children's reading and spelling abilities has received particular media attention. Yet despite fears that the use of abbreviations can undermine reading and writing skills, recent research has shown that extra exposure to word composition outside of school can actually improve literacy.
