X-Learn (SMS System)

xlearn SMS System is a powerful service that has been embraced by the JPC Sport department in particular. The service its self is a simply a text wall. Tutors can send individual and group messages by logging in to the website and selecting the appropriate recipients.

During the pilot stage the department was concerned about bombarding learners with too many txt's which could ultimate effect the acceptance of the service. Therefore its use has been primarily for administration purposes such as absenteeism and trip/visit reminders.

At a recent training event suggestions were made such as using the system to enhance curriculum delivery. This got me thinking could we use this somehow to check learning at the end of sessions (could be used in conjunction with ILP targets maybe?!). Any more ideas would be appreciated.
