 PageOne - a UK mobile messaging company - has announced that it will be launching at BETT (an exhibition for information and communications technology) its ‘MoodleMobile’ plug-in module with 2-way messaging functionality.
The first version of MoodleMobile was released in the summer of 2008 allowing Moodle Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) users access to its JANET txt messaging service.
Users can send a message to any existing contact groups, enabling a large number of people to be contacted simultaneously. Messages can be sent to as many or as few people as required, as well as allowing users to select individual recipients from a list.
However, for the first time, the addition of 2-way functionality now means students can also use it to reply directly to their tutors or message sender, thus creating an easy and cost-effective means of creating a constructive dialogue within the Moodle VLE.
By extending communications in the Moodle VLE to include 2-way messaging, PageOne hope to help educational institutions further enhance user experience and increase the likelihood of learning success.
JANET txt is a cost effective suite of secure SMS-based messaging services provided by PageOne on behalf of JANET (UK), one of the world’s leading network infrastructures committed to the needs of the education and research communities in the UK.
As well as exhibiting this new and advanced version of MoodleMobile, PageOne will be running presentations and talking through its other products on offer, including, ‘Campaign Manager’ which creates interactive SMS campaigns in minutes, an SMS plug in for Microsoft Excel which enables you to send text messages direct from Microsoft Excel, and its Integration services which offer flexible secure integration API’s and development support.
BETT 2009 takes place on 14-17 January 2009, at Olympia in London.
