Apple Classroom Deployment Scenarios

To haveApple Classroom working,deployments youin need:FileWave need device enrollment, teacher and student identity data, class data, and the correct device-to-person or cart-to-class associations.

  • All devices enrolled in FileWave
  • Teacher devices identified, with the Apple Classroom app installed on them
  • 1:1One-to-one student devices identifiedassociated (with identifiedthe Student)correct student
  • Cart Groups configured for shared devices
  • ClassesClass informationdata, (including teachers, students, cart)and carts, loaded into the FileWave database

SoComplete youthese willparts haveof to:the deployment:

  • Enroll devices
  • Import SIS data (classes, teachers, students)
  • Associate devices to users (for 1:1one-to-one and teachers)teacher devices with users, and Carts-to-Classesassociate (Sharedshared-device model)carts with classes
  • Deploy Classroom app to teacher devices

FileWave does not require one fixed order. Choose a specificsequence orderthat formatches thesewhen actions.
Somedevices scenarios:and SIS data become available.

Example: enroll shared carts first

  1. Enroll Cart devices and create carts
  2. Import SIS data
  3. Associate classes to carts
  4. Create placeholders for teacher devices
  5. Associate each teacher device to its teacher
  6. Deploy Classroom to teacher devices
  7. HaveUse aone-to-one 1:1automatic enrollment processwhen (with auto enroll) wherethe MDM authauthentication username matches the SIS identifier, soallowing students canto unbox and enroll their assigned iPad and do the enrollment themselves

You can also

Example: prepare everythingidentity upfront:and class data first

When SIS data and device assignments are known before enrollment, prepare the structure first:

  1. Import SIS data
  2. Import placeholders for 1:1 devices
  3. Enroll cart devices
  4. Associate classes towith carts,carts and devices towith personspeople
  5. Deploy Classroom to teacher devices
  6. Enroll one-to-one devices

ChangesYou can bemake incremental -changes solater. if,For forexample, instance, you havewhen a new student,student you canarrives, add the device:student and device-to-person association later without re-doingrebuilding everything.the existing classes or carts.
