Texting keeps students in touch

University lecturers are sending students revision tips, timetables, appointment times and coursework feedback using mobile phone texting, reports the BBC.

"Part of a £4.5m Wolverhampton University project, it is said to be cheaper than more traditional letters.

It also saves time for students living off-campus, who would otherwise have to travel in to check notice boards.

The text messages are being sent in bulk to first-year undergraduates and contain up to 160 characters."
