Press Release, ClearTXT, Nov 03, 2005

ClearTXT is an instant messaging and SMS system that allows schools and instructors to send messages to students. It operates as a Blackboard building block, which means you need to have the LMS to make it work. Nifty idea, and schools have started using it. In what doubles as a useful public service and a savvy marketing move, ClearTXT has launched a service called alphaTXT, which will be offered free to all schools, that allows them to broadcast emergency notifications. Of course what we need to see now is a similar service that works with Moodle, Sakai and other open source applications, as well as the commercial Blackboard system.
