Why Do We Need an LMS? Using Text Messaging as the New E-Platform || Sher Downing, Arizona State University, Arizona, United States, sher.downing@asu.edu || A facilitated roundtable discussion of the continued expanded usage of text messaging. Today's students represent a mobile society with a vast network of friends and services online. While students may access an LMS platform for course materials, a growing number are requesting usage of text messaging for submitting questions, discussions, and even papers. Current cell phones come with many features including word processing and search mechanisms. The discussion will look at current trends, the security and tracking of text message information, and the balance of workload for the faculty member. || General Session Roundtable Intermediate ||
