BYOD Trends
Fad or Future?
BYOD Challenges
Overcoming concerns to adoption
BYOD IT network implications
BYOD = Just add wireless, right?

‘Can BYOD make a difference to teaching and learning?’

2011 2012
‘Shipments of client devices to the US education sector grew 15.4% yoy 2012 with volume nearing 8.5m units worth $5bn. Tablets grew 103%’
IDC May 2013
19.4% 35.4%
A clear shift from left to right is taking shape in Education establishments, but getting there means making the right choices

+ Scotland: £60m government spend on tablets for
universities, colleges and schools

+ South Korea: pledged to move to an all tablet
curriculum by 2015
+ England: ESSA Academy – 800 tablet roll out to all
students and staff
+ Thailand: 800,000 tablets issued to first graders in 2012. + USA: In McAllen, Texas, public school officials opt for
tablets over PC’s….plan to distribute 25,000 in years ahead

‘With mobile-device based learning, it’s not just about replacing text books, pens or paper. It is about inventing new ways of learning and teaching, both individually and collaboratively’
Tablet and mobile device computing is strictly for the fortunate few that can afford the expense!
9
If you could save 50% of your paper cost….
Budget or budget constrained? Consider a ‘Paper to Digital’ Cost Benefit Analysis
10
+ Tablets vs the library
+ e-textbooks cost considerably less
+ Less paper printed / Reduce CO2 footprint
+ Digital lessons / assignments only
+ Tablets interactive, unlike text books + e-textbooks updates: Instant + 1-2-1 customised learning and content + Content shared collaboratively across multiple
devices via the cloud Consider also…..2 or 3 tablets for the same price of 1 PC!
Why should IT should be a stage in the Education learning process? It should be the way of the Education process

IT IT
“It appears that 1-2-1 tablets offer a sense of inclusion that allow children, irrespective of socio-economic status or level of attainment, an opportunity to thrive through a new pedagogical model of pupil-led learning.”
Tablets for Schools programme 2012 – UK
12
+ Children’s
perceptions
+ Parents perceptions
13
+ Teachers’
perceptions
+ Greater motivation
and engagement with school work
+ More aligned to
schoolwork than before
+ Concerns over device
costs, breakages and theft do continue
+ Concerns about
excessive use
+ Parents own lack of
confidence in technology
+ Can offer more
independence and choice; they can facilitate rather than instruct
+ Easier to monitor and
track progress
+ Technology confidence
varies; training is key
+ Lack of curriculum
based content, but creative and innovative ways are used
+ Greater motivation to
learn and be creative
+ Collaborative nature of
the tablet
+ Disruptive behaviour

+ iTunes U
+ Raspberry Pi

‘Is the effort to support BYOD worth the gain?’
17
The pitfalls……
Tablets can freeze, get hacked or crash Battery life can be limited Highly prized by thieves unlike text books Requires skilled, expensive engineers to fix Not everyone is confident with technology from learners to teaching staff Too many apps = distractions in class I forgot my ‘tablet’ replaces I forget my ‘homework’ Downloads could get out of control BYOD is an open can of worms from a security perspective
Can be overcome……
Data store, backup and retrieve options Average battery life exceeds most school hours Secure data, erase and ‘findmytablet’ apps deterrence Consider hybrid BYOD / SIOD Intuitive nature and easy of use inherent in tablets Easy ‘lock out’ options to manage access Data store, backup & retrieve from the school network Block apps, including browser access Adoption of best practice ‘Paper and Appliance Policies’ should be implemented
+ Embracing mobility depends on who is on board with you!
18
+ Embracing mobility requires a collaborative approach with
learners, educators, parents and support staff

Advantages Disadvantages Advantages Disadvantages Zero hardware (tablet) costs Compatibility / support / integration challenges from multiple types of device and OS One platform CAPEX & OPEX costs Zero associated maintenance costs Not every learner has access to a device Access for all during lessons Depreciation, repair and replacement costs Paced and managed introduction Security risks (sensitive data on devices, etc) Easy swap out for faulty units and data restore Security risks (lost data, devices etc) Devices handed in or taken home?

Subject Notes Many tablets do NOT have RJ45 connections You need to connect devices to the network either wirelessly or with wires. The latter involves using a copper cable, typically a Cat5e wire with an RJ45 connector port on the end device. iPads for example, do not have these ports and so can only connect wirelessly. Laptop Specification The type and spec of laptop you use in your school can affect the wireless performance. Cheap laptops = issues Laptop Profile The size of the laptop profile can make a huge difference to the time it takes for all 30 to log on Environment Lots of other devices use the 2.4Ghz range used by wireless (e.g. Dect phones, burglar alarm sensors, door sensors, headsets, etc.) These can cause interference and issues result Position of the Access Points We have visited schools who have mounted APs on the floor and wonder why the coverage is poor! Network (PoE) switches Make sure these are fast enough for the new wireless system. Scalability What is your device to learner ratio? Can you cope with a doubling or even tripling of the load on the network? Broadband Connection 1000 mobile devices fighting for a share of a 6MB connection will leave your network standing still Guest Access Contractors, Temp Teaching Staff, Open Days, Visiting Lecturers need access, but in a safe and secure environment Load Balancing Peak periods need to be seamless experience for all. Ensuring the network can manage multiple almost simultaneous tablet connections is vital Dual Band or Single band Access Point Deployments Congestion can occur with different user groups. Differentiate between device types, applications and user groups for a more seamless service
+ Limit # of devices allowed to connect
+ Regulate type of devices allowed to connect
+ Utilise Dual Band Access Points
