Seton Hall to Deliver Class Notes to Student Cell Phones

Seton Hall University signed a deal to acquire a mobile communications system that will deliver class and school information directly to the mobile phones and e-mail addresses of students, instructors, and staff. During the summer, the university installed deltaTXT, a mobile system built by clearTXT Inc.

“We will use the technology to promote university events and to quickly communicate with our community if there is an emergency,” said Paul Fisher, director of the Teaching and Learning Technology Center at Seton Hall. He noted that the system will integrate with the school’s Blackboard campus management system to help “students stay connected with their instructors and student organizations using the technology they’re most comfortable with – the mobile phone.”
