- An off-the-shelf platform for automatic and interactive text messaging using Short Message ServicePublication . Oliveira, Daniel Sabugueiro; Santos, Nuno Manuel Garcia dos; Esgalhado, Maria da Graça ProençaThis dissertation presents the design and construction of a platform for the implementation of an automatic and interactive message exchanging system using Short Message Service (SMS), also known as texting, created to support a research on the Psychology field. The research included researchers from the Psychology and Education Department and the Computer Science Department from University of Beira Interior making it a multidisciplinary study. Its goal was to assess if the exposure to motivational, persuasive and informative SMS texts could improve the self-efficacy of mathematics students from that university.
