Japanese universities are using iphones to improve student attendance

When you apply to a college, it might seem strange if the college gives you a free iPhone. The School of Social Information at Aoyama Gakuin Univeristy in Tokyo, Japan, does just that! The aim of the college is to ensure student attendance through the geo-location function of mobile phones. In addition, they have developed an iPhone app that allows students who are absent from class to watch historical videos of past classes. So far, 555 teachers and students have been using the free iphones on Friday, and if the results are good, the method will be rolled out to other departments. I feel that the cost of this way is too high, in addition, the iPhone function is very powerful, if they are equipped with free of charge to the heart of the students in Han, who can guarantee that they do not use these free iphones in the classroom to watch YouTube, play games? After all, even if one can't skip a class, it's easy not to attend...
