Since its launch in 2010 the Apple iPad continues to be the popular tablet device for use in education. With such a high value investment it's important to manage these devices to get best value and usage, having a consistent configuration on a class set of devices is perhaps the most important management task and for many schools choosing an appropriate management tool is where the challenge begins.
For a single personal device it’s simply a matter of signing into the App store, choosing and installing some Apps, setting a passcode and its ready to use but what do we do when we have 10, 20, 30 or 100 devices to setup and manage. This is where we can use applications such as iTunes or preferably Apple Configurator to deploy Apps and restrictions to the devices either on mass or individually. The issue with using Apple Configurator is that you need a MacBook or iMac to run the software and the iPad has to be tethered via a USB cable to the MacBook. It’s time consuming, a burden and is often put-off until another day when Staff have to collect several iPads together, connect them to the MacBook to push out one App that takes 30 seconds and then put them all back again. This is where cloud based Mobile Device Management (MDM) can be the only management tool choice.
MDM is an Over-the-Air or Wi-Fi system that is able to manage iPads without the need to physically touch the device or connect it to a MacBook. Once the iPads are enrolled into an MDM logging into a web portal opens up a whole new way of managing devices no matter where they are, at school, at home, anywhere. Key features include:
No need to connect cables or find the MacBook
Remote App Management, push Apps to all or individual devices
Generate inventory reports
Remote configuration of device settings such as allow or disallow the use of the camera
Device status updates including battery charge status
Self-Service App Portal to install approved curriculum and learning tools
Location aware configurations for devices that are taken home
Remote controls to lock machines from a distance, reset passwords, and restrict access to prevent data breaches and security violations
Integrate MDM with Apple’s Device Enrolment Program to enable zero touch setup of new iPads
Automatically keep iPads updated to the latest supported version of iOS.
