Do Tablet Devices still have to be issued on a 1:1 Basis?

Tablet devices used to be issued to pupils on a 1:1 basis because there were logistical issues authenticating internet usage.

However due to recent improvements, all internet browsing from tablets now passes through the same Proxy server as normal internet usage for pupils. This means that all pupils are now required to provide personal login credentials when browsing the internet.

Schools can now freely use tablet devices with multiple pupils with only one proviso. The tablets must be completely shut down between users. This ensures that the next user does not inherit the previous users access to internet browsing.

Should you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact ICT.
