[elearning] do you know of any BYOD schools?

[ken price]

Hi Brett, thanks for that information.

Could you elaborate on the aspects of management that you see as
critical for BYOD? I'm particularly interested in the tension between
students and staff using devices they own, and an enterprise model of
controlling aspects of these devices as if they were owned by the
school.

Our BYOD approach has been to provide an additional layer of wireless
access that provides internet access (via school username/pwd) and
thus access to all school LMS, intranet, mail etc by anyone with
almost any device, but not access to printers or fileshares. The
absence of these last two services may or may not be a big deal,
depending on how cloud services are used. But in our stuation all
school services really need to be available from home anyway, so
making them available from school via BYOD is not especially complex.

Cheers,
Ken
