This paper details the application of SMS messaging to facilitate 'classroom experiments' in microeconomics classes. Laboratory style experiments and simulations have long been used for teaching and learning in many disciplines, however classroom experiments in economics have a feature that distinguishes them from their counterparts in many other disciplines. This is that students participate in dual roles as both experimental subjects and as researchers in analysing the outcomes of an experiment. By using SMS as a response medium, the limitations of paper based experiments are overcome without incurring the costs of full computerisation.
