Etech Group, an Australian IT company, is the first in the world to customize its online learning management system, Studywiz, specifically for the iPhone and iPod touch.

“Using the iPhone and iPod touch, teachers, students and parents can log into Studywiz through the internet browser to access a huge range of interactive and media-rich tools. For example, students can take tests, access real-time information, submit assignments, or even join in blogging.”

Geoff Elwood, CEO of Etech Group states that “Studywiz is designed to integrate seamlessly with an iPod and now we have adapted the Studywiz interface so that it’s fully compatible with the iPhone and iPod touch - making it even easier for teachers, students and parents to interact with and use.”

Studywiz is currently used in 14 countries around the world and is accredited by Becta to supply learning platforms to 29,000 schools in England, Northern Ireland and Wales.
