No More Having To Wake Up Early

Posted in [Interest], [Techno]

Wow, don’t you wish to get into a Uni like the Coventry University in UK which actually send you the lecture to your 3G phone and so that you don’t have to get out of bed early?

Lessons are filmed using digital cameras, edited down into 15-minute segments, then sent to students with 3G phones.

Media Production tutors Harold Fricker and Eduardo Carrillo hope to offer the service, currently being piloted, to their 200 students at no extra cost from October. They believe it could be used all over the world. Mr Fricker said: “There are always lazy students, despite most being dedicated to the course and committed to working hard.

“There are those who prefer to stay in bed for an extra five minutes and others whose minds wander in seminars. This technology provides a safety net. If they do miss some of the lecture, they can get the most important parts of it sent to them, if they have 3G technology.”

Wondering when will this be implemented in our country…

  1. Then there are even less reasons for us to go to class anymore.
    You sure encouraging laziness is the way to go?
