PLEASE NOTE: The StudyTXT service is now not operational. We have decided to shut the service down and focus on other mobile delivery methods for learning. The StudyTXT project was an important landmark in the development of mLearning within New Zealand and this site is left up for information on the project. Peter Mellow. March 19, 2008

StudyTXT messages- Each individual message ordered costs 0.50 cents per message

Code for ALL messages in a group is at 0.50 cents for the 1st msg and 0.30 cents for all other messages->

e.g. 5 messages in total = .50 cents + 4 X .30 cents = $1.70 (instead of $2.50 if all five were downloaded on their own)

Download a PDF file of the message list below for your computer or to print out and use.

The questions have been grouped into sets of 5 messages. This does not overload the SIM card or memory on your cellphone and allows you to study a small group of messages at a time. It is also more economical to download.

Work with other students in your course and co-ordinate what messages you download and forward them to each other to reduce costs. Use the small gaps of time in your day (waiting for a bus, traveling to Uni, etc.) to 'snack on study' with the StudyTXT messages.
