Why Short Messaging Service
A way to extend communication between XO and mobile phone devices that does not have GPRS capability i.e. the only way possible to communicate with them is through text messages/voice calls.
It can be used as an information medium and for communication with others (e.g. Parents).
How does it work?
A modem/GSM AT compliant mobile phone is connected with the School server. It hosts a SMS Gateway which can be accessed by XO through web browser.
Development
SMS Server Tools are used for communicating with the phone and PlaySMS is used for hosting SMS Gateway on the school server.
I have gone through the testing phase and next step is to setup SMS Gateway on real school server.
Use Cases
These are the cases which are addressed:
1. Parents could send message to School Server and it could reply about their child location in the form of SMS.
2. Information sent by teachers through their mobile devices is sent to student's XOs. Information can be regarding anything (e.g. results notification, attendance record, assessment deadlines, feedback from tutors and other urgent administrative details)
3. Students can send SMS queries to teachers and to other concerned communities.
