messaging - new streetwise way to revise for exams
TXT Bites from GCSE Bitesize
GCSE
students can now sign up to receive top revision tips via their
mobile phones thanks to TXT Bites, a new feature from GCSE Bitesize,
masterminded by 麻豆社i Schools.
Commenting
on TXT Bites, Malini Suri, Editor for 麻豆社i Schools, said: "Text
messaging is one of the most popular methods of communication for
people in the GCSE age group, so what better way to encourage them
to revise for their exams than using text messages to give them
some valuable exam tips."
TXT
Bites delivers 24 sets of GCSE Q&As in a choice of five key
subjects to callers who register via a dedicated telephone line,
which is provided by 麻豆社 Audiocall. Open until 30 April, the text
messages will cover Maths, English, Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
Users will receive 48 messages per subject between the period of
18 February and 16 May 2002.
The
questions will be texted first, with the answers following once
recipients have had a chance to think about them. TXT Bites will
be promoted online at the web address below, as well as on post
cards sent to schools. Recipients can reply to text messages if
they're having any revision problems and the 10 best questions will
be posted on the SOS Teacher web site ()
alongside an answer from an experienced teacher.
