Mobile Device Management (Lightspeed Systems)
About the Service
Mobile Device Manager (MDM) is a mobile device management (MDM) service provided by Lightspeed systems. This cloud-based technology enables school staff to manage mobile devices such as iPads, integrating them with Apple School Manager throughout the school. It helps teachers to ensure that students are using them effectively for learning.
What are the benefits?
- Our MDM service enables school ICT coordinators and staff to centrally manage mobile devices such as iPads, without the need to configure every device individually.
- Our MDM service works by using Apple School Manager to assign school devices to our MDM, ensuring devices are enrolled and configured.
- With MDM you can wirelessly deploy apps and e-books, configure home screen layouts, find misplaced devices and manage dozens of other settings.
- MDM makes it easier to ensure that devices have the right applications installed for the right group of learners, saving time and effort for ICT coordinators, IT staff and teachers.
- MDM can assist with safeguarding pupils as devices can be wiped and reset remotely, if required.
- MDM provides schools with a facility to manage the behaviour, settings and installed software on their Apple, Android and Microsoft mobile devices.
- Using MDM offers an effective way to manage mobile devices, turning them from a consumer device into a powerful tool for teaching and learning.
- Schools that also subscribe to our Technical Visits for Curriculum Networks service can receive support for their MDM service as part of that service.
- Schools see MDM as an essential time-saving solution they cannot be without.
