SMS Student
A new communications channel between school and students, through the use of mobile technologies
In February 2007, the Vodafone Portugal Foundation signed a co-operation agreement with the University of the Minho aimed at increasing the use of mobile technologies integrated with information systems. Having received the donation of one million SMS (text messages), the University used this resource to send students all notifications about grades, examination dates, timetable changes, tuition fees, urgent information, absences, etc. The system provides a closer and faster link between students, lecturers and other staff.
