Text Messaging Solutions for Educational Establishments

 

There are many ways in which SMS messaging can be used in the education arena; not only to keep students and staff up-to-date, but to ensure student welfare and safety.

  At Avanquest UK we have worked closely with a number of schools and colleges to add this powerful and yet cost-effective messaging medium to their IT systems. Some of the ideas that have been implemented are detailed below, but the possibilities are endless - our solutions will integrate with almost any application or system, including SIMS .net, CMIS, SITS:Vision, the Bromcom electronic register and many, many more.
 
  • Integration with electronic registration - The recent report from the National Audit Office calls for central government to work more closely with local councils and schools to cut truancy. Using Text Message Server with electronic registration systems allows for quick verification of student absence. An SMS to pupil/parents/guardian can be automatically triggered by non-attendance - "Are you OK?", "Your child has not arrived for registration", "Lectures Start in five minutes", etc. This is a fast, cost-effective way to help solve what is currently a big problem - over 50,000 truancies every day in the UK.
 
  • Pupil Information - "Lecture cancelled", "Please return Library books", "Student Union Meeting", "Bad weather, School closed" and so on ...
 
  • Adult Education Information - Advertising new courses, payment confirmation/ requests, electronic enrolment.
