The proliferation of e-learning systems in both learning institutions and companies has contributed a lot to the acquisition and application of new skills. With the growth in technology, especially the internet, e-learning systems are only getting better and having more impact on the users. This paper suggests an approach to e-learning that emphasizes active and open collaboration, and also the integration of other services that aid or contribute to the learning process. This approach aims at having an extended and enhanced learning environment that is tied or connected to other systems within the immediate environment or otherwise. We illustrate the possibility and usability of such system in a university, such that other important administrative systems are integrated into the e-learning system, and collaboration is open to both academic and non-academic personnel's.

This paper reviews the use of mobile phones for delivering examination results via Short Messaging Service (SMS) in a university where student who have written examinations and are anxious to see their results need to get their grades in a convenient and accessible way, whether in the comfort of their homes, on the road, or while at work.At this time, a mobile phone is accessible to most students, and they take it almost everywhere with them. This technology can, therefore, be highly effective in bringing information to them quickly, easily, and while they are on the move. An SMS result checking system not only enables students to request their grades, the system can also deliver the grades to their phones as soon as the grades become available. This means that they can access their grades even in the remotest locations where internet service might be unavailable, preventing them from accessing the school's website. This version is an improved version of the system presented previously (Adagunodo, Awodele, & Idowu, 2009). The former system requires the user to submit an ID with a password, which is common to many SMS systems. The present system uses a social interaction with the password to reduce the incidence of guessing access codes occurring in the checking system.

In this paper, we present a way to bring information to students by leveraging the availability of phones (with SMS capability), especially cell phones. We review the use of mobile phones for delivering examination results via Short Messaging Service (SMS) in a university, where student who have written examinations and anxious to see their results need to get their grades in a convenient and accessible way, whether in the comfort of their homes, on the road or while at work.Mobile phone seems to be an asset most individuals' posses, and take almost everywhere with them, it is therefore a highly effective means of bringing information to them faster, easily and on the move. An SMS result checking system not only enables students to request for their grades, the system can also deliver the grades to their phones as soon as the grades become available. This means that they can access their grades even in the remotest locations where internet facility might be unavailable, preventing them from accessing the school's website.This study shows the implementation of such system and considers the security issues associated. The system enforces security with the use of secret information (password), and also provides access to new and old grades.
