Abstract

Today we create and update information faster, and access this information more easily, than ever before. Modern society, therefore, is in need of people who are eager to progress and whose lifelong learning skills are high. Mobile technologies, which have become an indispensible part of our lives, have great potential to support lifelong learning. However, there are numerous mobile operating systems in existence, including Android, iOS and Windows OS, and all of these operating systems offer a different user experience. For an efficient mobile experience, users need to acquire technical control of the device and to understand its limitations at both the hardware and software levels. In addition, there are crucial skills that are needed, such as the ability to access required information, to search for apps, and to assess their reliability and suitability. The concept of mobile literacy covers all of these skills. This study will discuss current levels of mobile literacy in the context of lifelong learning.
