Reading in the Mobile Era<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I have been reading through the findings of a great report published earlier this\u00a0year by UNESCO: Reading in the Mobile Era<\/a>. I am working on a longer post on mobile learning more generally, which I will publish in the next day or two, but I want to promote this report and offer its own summary of findings.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Mobile reading opens up new pathways to literacy for marginalized groups, particularly women and girls, and others who may not have access to paper books.<\/li>\n
  2. People use mobile devices to read to children, thereby supporting literacy acquisition and other forms of learning.<\/li>\n
  3. People seem to enjoy reading more and read more often when they use mobile devices to access text.<\/li>\n
  4. People read on mobile devices for identifiable reasons that can be promoted to encourage mobile reading.<\/li>\n
  5. Most mobile readers are young, yet people of various ages are capable of using mobile technology to access long-form reading material. More can be done to encourage older people to use technology as a portal to text.<\/li>\n
  6. Current mobile readers tend to have completed more schooling than is typical.<\/li>\n
  7. There appears to be a demand for mobile reading platforms with text in local\u00a0languages, level-appropriate text and text written by local authors.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Definitely worth a read if you have an interest in the subject. That last finding is so important!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
