Mobile Information Literacy Research Project
The Mobile Information Literacy Project (http://renmil.ca), developed at the Lusi Wong Library, is a
mobile friendly, open-access literacy interface available to course instructors and undergraduate
students. The objectives of the project are to develop strategies for enhancing student information
literacy skills through mobile technology (m-learning) and to re-design the MIL modules to enhance
usability and learning. This innovative project supports the development and administration of the MIL
Tool and explores the best strategies, from a user perspective, for delivering and accessing information
on mobile devices. Undergraduate students in ten classes in psychology, social work, education, or
social development studies participated to determine the effectiveness of mobile technology in
enhancing their information literacy skills and learning experiences. Undergraduate students in sixteen
classes in English, Psychology, Social Work, Education, or Social Development Studies also participated.
