A Two-Year Analysis of Students' Learning Experience Using Interactive SMS in the Classroom

Abstract

The high penetration of mobile phones among university students provides an unprecedented opportunity for the use of SMS as a classroom interaction system. This paper presents a longitudinal analysis of the impact that a SMS-based classroom interaction system (TXT-2-LRN) can have on students' learning experience. The findings indicate that instructors and students perceive a number of benefits from the additional channel of communication in the classroom.
