Problem
Unfortunately we have discovered that one of the new facilities does not work as intended, please ignore the link to Mobile Oxford on the Sign-up Tool pages. This link is an icon of a mobile phone and is suppose to generate an m.ox URL and QR code in the same way as the Polls Tool (but currently doesn’t).
Mobile Oxford can still be used to access Sign-up Tool sessions: visit m.ox.ac.uk and click on the WebLearn icon and then follow the instructions on the screen.
