Handheld Learning 2008

Studywiz is the first and only learning platform with a dedicated mobile learning interface designed specifically the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch, Asus EeePC and other handheld devices.

Students can access Studywiz Mobile to take tests, access real time information, check their calendars and even join in class discussion groups, increasing the opportunities for learning in their safe, personalised Studywiz environment. Parents can also keep up to date with their child’s school life by accessing reports and viewing assignments anytime, anywhere.

International research conducted on behalf of Etech Group with a sample of 325 parents reveals that 92% of parents want online access to their child’s learning environment and that the ability to be more involved with their child’s education is one of the greatest perceived benefits. Through Studywiz Mobile parents can also communicate with teachers and school support staff or join school community groups and forums.

Teachers using Studywiz Mobile can extend their innovative teaching practices to bring a broader range of curriculum resources to students that are context as well as subject specific. For example, students on a field trip or attending vocational training can view relevant multi-media material or answer a context specific quiz. Teachers and school administrators also benefit from an architecture that allows them to easily deliver differentiated resources for personalised learning and gives them mobile access to resources and student data for field trips and emergency or contingency plans.
