Metro Toronto Movement for Literacy (MTML) smartphone learning modules
MTML has developed a comprehensive, engaging and very useful set of learning modules to help learners use their smartphones. The resource also includes information for educators, trainers and services providers.
18 modules are available and each one has a video with a transcript, tipsheet and mini lesson. The site also provides some tips about accessing and using the resources.
