StudyTXT - an early mLearning solution

StudyTXT - an early mLearning solution | Mobile Learning | Scoop.it
From petermellow.com - January 28, 2020 4:07 PM
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

The systems highlight how widespread surveillance has increasingly become a fact of life: Students “should have all the rights, responsibilities and privileges that an adult has. So why do we treat them so differently?”

Mark A. Dean's curator insight, June 8, 2017 12:52 AM

While this article is about the workplace, I could see this happening in schools a lot.  The change from taking notes via pen and paper to smartphones may result in a lot of misunderstandings.  The digital natives and non-digital natives will have to find a way to understand each other, and that will take time.  
Mauresa Mitchell's curator insight, February 1, 2020 12:18 PM
it is so common that people have already developed a mindset of when mobile should and should not be used. As times change we should be open to all ideas.

School mobile phone bans are doomed to fail, says leading head | Mobile Learning | Scoop.it
From www.standard.co.uk - March 19, 2019 9:16 AM
A top London headteacher today said blanket mobile phone bans are “doomed to failure” because children sneak secret phones into school. Stephen Lehec, head of Kingston Grammar School, argued that schools should instead teach children to use their smartphones responsibly. The school, where fees are £18,000 a year and whose former pupils include Olympic rowing gold medallist James Cracknell, allows students and staff to have their phones in lessons as long as they are on silent.

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.
