Japanese university using free iPhones to monitor students

A university in Japan is using iPhone to help monitoring their students and staff, giving them a free iPhone plus a basic monthly service. The university will also send test and homework assignments through the iPhone.

About 550 students and staff at Japan’s Aoyama Gakuin University will be getting free iPhones through SoftBank as part of the school’s Mobile & Net Society Education and Training program. Aoyama Gakuin University will use the iPhone’s GPS hardware to help administrators determine if a student is on campus and whether or not they’ve actually been going to class.
