Video lectures sent to students phones

Coventry University UK is broadcasting lectures straight to students' mobiles so they don't have to get out of bed in the mornings, reports the Mirror.co.uk.

"Lessons are filmed using digital cameras, edited down into 15-minute segments, then sent to students with 3G phones.

Media Production tutors Harold Fricker and Eduardo Carrillo hope to offer the service, currently being piloted, to their 200 students at no extra cost from October. They believe it could be used all over the world. Mr Fricker said: "There are always lazy students, despite most being dedicated to the course and committed to working hard."
