Abstract
This study intends to investigate how mobile devices interact with college students from diverse backgrounds, especially with disabilities to access news and information. By examining theoretical frameworks of journalism and mass communication, causal agency theory and social-ecological lens in education, we develop a conceptual framework to support this study and hope to produce a blended strategy for the effective use of mobile media in lifelong learning. It is significant to conduct research on how to support college students with disabilities to promote self-determination and to become lifelong learners through mobile technology. Keywords: mobile devices, mobile media, Universal Design for Learning (UDL), college students with disabilities, self-determination, lifelong learners
