The Use of StudyTXT as a form of mobile learning in an accounting decision-making course — | Mobile Learning | Scoop.it
This paper describes the implementation of a mobile learning teaching resource - StudyTXT – in an introductory accounting decision-making course. The paper explains the philosophy of the course and how the educational rationale underlying the use of StudyTXT might facilitate the attainment of the course objectives. The paper further illustrates how StudyTXT is developed, implemented and used in the course, with references to appropriate literature. A questionnaire-based evaluation of StudyTXT by students reports on their perceptions about the impact of the teaching resource, as well as about the factors that either encouraged students to, or discouraged them from, using StudyTXT. The paper concludes with suggestions for the further utilisation of the resource.

How Text Messages Could Help You Tailor Your Content To Each Student.

How Text Messages Could Help You Tailor Your Content To Each Student. | Mobile Learning | Scoop.it
Of course, tailored content isn’t the only benefit to texting in the classroom. But ignoring the uses of mass text messaging is ignoring one of the simplest but most effective ways to make education more personalized.

Want engaged students receiving information that’s relevant and helpful? Try introducing mass text messaging.

StudyTXT - an early mLearning solution

StudyTXT - an early mLearning solution | Mobile Learning | Scoop.it
StudyTXT was a way to review key facts and concepts using the flexibility of your cellphone. Use the downtime you have in your day (waiting for a bus, on the train, sitting around campus, etc.) to view one StudyTXT message many times a day, until you know it and can apply it in your subject area.

StudyTXT was created in 2004 by Peter Mellow, Senior Lecturer at AUT. Peter has been working on the StudyTXT project since then, developing the concept and then setting up the working service for its first operational trials in October 2005.

The StudyTXT service is now not operational. We have decided to shut the service down and focus on other mobile delivery methods for learning. The StudyTXT project was an important landmark in the development of mLearning within New Zealand and this site is left up for information on the project. Peter Mellow. March 19, 2008

This was my baby for a few years. Dead and buried now, but was fun at the time.
