Evidence of Effectiveness

In general, 90% of all text messages are read within 3 minutes of being received, making texting an important strategy to use with students or clients.
The Mobile Up Project, a workforce innovation project in California funded by the California Workforce Development Board, successfully used EZ Texting as a way for its bilingual coaches to communicate with immigrant janitors and other frontline service and healthcare workers studying English by cellphone.

What They're Saying

“EZ Texting was very easy platform for our staff to learn to use. The janitors we train appreciated being able to easily communicate with our staff to get help or ask questions. The group messages we sent also helped gently nudge or remind them to study.”

—Grazia Mora, Curriculum and Digital Literacy Coordinator, Building Skills Partnership

“We used EZ texting In the Mobile Up project in California to send spaced learning texts to distance learners with questions about what they had studied. Having to recall information, aides with retention, and the texted questions also motivated the learners to go back in to study.”

— Alison Ascher Webber, EdTech Center @ World Education
