Four types of educational cellphone usages in the Philipppines (listed
by Librero et al 2007, and cited in the Digital Review of Asia Pacific
2009-2010, p 55)

* The cellphone and its short message service/texting (SMS) feature
are used as the primary means for interactive learning.

* Texting is used to inform students of schedule changes, deadlines,
examination regulations, grades, new courses, and library resources.

* Student groups and organizations use the cellphone to publicize
social activities, job fairs, book discounts, etc, and for voting in
student elections.

* University administrators use cellphones to coordinate the
admissions process, to conduct marketing campaigns, and to announce
grants, surveys and policies, and emergency information (e.g. bad
weather, suspension of classes).
