Providing quality education for children and youth is one of the most important priorities of any society. Since information technology is spreading into every aspect of our lives with a lightning speed, it is only natural that educational institutions are willing to evolve and adapt their teaching methods to reach the modern standards and go beyond traditional ways of education.

It is proven that bringing mobile technology into a classroom improves learning efficiency, dramatically increases student engagement, makes the process easier, faster and more fun, promotes innovation and development and brings teaching experience to the next level. Tablets and smartphones are used to assist in such tasks as homework or class assignments, classroom activities, providing and sharing content between teachers and students.

To incorporate smart education, schools and universities are equipping their classrooms and labs with various devices, or going even further and providing each student with an individual mobile device. Other popular way to integrate new technology is BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policy. Add to that teachers’ and other staff devices, and you will end up with hundreds or even thousands of devices used in one institution.

Managing such a big scale number of mobile devices can be quite overwhelming for a school or university, which usually have strained IT resources and administrative knowledge.

To solve all arising problems in this situation, Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions are vital for the successful and effective usage of mobile technology in e-learning programs.

Mobile Device Management suite supports a very innovative approach in education and provides an excellent interface to assure that students and teachers have a flawless and secure learning experience.

There are various aspects that could be immediately and easily solved by Mobile Device Management .

School policies

While equipping your students with tablets or phones for constant usage, first you would like to be sure that students are using their devices securely and for intended purposes. Mobile Device Management provides solid guarantee that all institutionally owned devices will strictly comply with the school policies and regulations and it gives you the ability to monitor violation and take action in real time. Preset features and settings are applied automatically to any new device added to your network.

Device configuration & control

Controlled Device management feature helps teachers to keep all distractions away from the classroom and assure that students are fully engaged and focused on the given tasks. Various device configurations can be done through a convenient Mobile Device Management interface. It allows you remotely batch install/remove/update required Apps and turn off excessive device functionalities such as Camera, YouTube, Social Media, Games, etc. Managed distribution makes it easy to track apps assigned to each device and detect unauthorized activity.

Distribution

Nobody likes to carry around heavy textbooks and notes. Here, mobile learning gives incredible capabilities to students. From now on, they have all study material just on one handy device that allows students to continue learning wherever they are, even after school hours. In addition to that, Mobile Device Management allows to distribute all mandatory study material directly onto the student’s device just with few clicks and conduct updates according to necessity. Let it be soft copies of different file formats or Apps, teachers would definitely prefer uploading specific study material for a class rather than printing countless copies of study material. Students, on the other hand, can send their work to the teachers and get quick and easy feedback.

Application deployment

Another extremely useful feature of Mobile Device Management is the possibility to put your devices in kiosk mode. This mode allows you to lock your chosen devices on to a single app, which will help teachers to maintain student’s focus on one assigned task, which can be test or specific project. Non-removable MDM profiles guarantee expected results and security of each mobile device.

Theft & Losses reduction

In this case, Mobile Device management offers all necessary features to eliminate these issues and avoid potential damage. If the mobile device went missing or got stolen, you can instantly track the location and conduct needful measures in real time. Locking the device will prevent unauthorized access to the phone or tablet, while full or selective wipe of information will protect confidential data from being stolen or misused.

Black & White listing

Blacklisting and whitelisting of specific apps and websites ensures that only permitted apps can be installed or only educational websites can be accessed. Mobile Device Management provides website and app filtering in easy and convenient way.

Don’t forget about the teachers

Another big group of mobile device users in schools or universities is teachers. Mobile Device Management can be used on their computers as effective as on students’ devices.
