TxT ur DL stdnts!

(Translation: why not consider sending a mobile phone text message to your Distance Learning students?)

As part of the current Distance Learning Fund programme, we now have an institutional licence for the TxTtools service and their MoodleTxT ‘plug-in’ which allows text (SMS) messages to be composed and sent to students from within Learn module pages.

The service has already been sucessfully piloted in modules in PHIR and Aero / Auto.

If you’d like to know more, or to see a demonstration, send me an e-mail at c.f.g.shields [at] lboro.ac.uk . Priority will be given to uses in support of DL students but we’ll given serious consideration to any other requests too.
