Literacy in the Age of Participation
From The Yoza Project: Cellphones and ‘mlearning’ in South Africa: “Technological and social divides are often intertwined. When both divides are bridged, technological progress plus meaningful use of these tools may result in social change. Yoza is available on MXit in South Africa and Kenya and is said to be the bridge between non-profit organisations, governments, corporates and (young!) people… Yoza shows us the entire concept of ‘bookness’ needs reinvention. And the rise of other mlearning projects contribute to the question of how we will (and should) publish and provide education in the future – questions which will also be addressed during the coming Unbound Book Conference.
