Abstract

The increasing sophistication and rapid uptake of mobile phones among university students is providing an unprecedented platform for the development of classroom interaction systems. This paper describes the development of a SMS-based classroom interaction system and explores the impact that this application 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. The paper concludes with a summary and recommendations for future practice and research.
