There are many types of device that your users could bring

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD): Challenges

There are many reasons why we should allow students to bring in their own devices but these come with their own set of technical and user challenges, such as:

• How to keep your network protected
• Providing a consistent set of tools tailored to each different device
• Keeping students focussed on the task in hand
• Recharging of student owned devices
• Data protection and safeguarding your data
• Managing the right apps for the right device
• Protecting school email systems when accessing on a personal device
• Providing suitable wireless access throughout the site with suitable capacity to support learning yet without opening access to sensitive systems
• Insurance of non-school devices if damaged during the school day
• How to engage with students that don't own a personal device or have limited/no access to ICT at home
• How to manage AppStore/Google Play licensing
