Classroom – Different Deployment Scenarios
To have Classroom working, you need:
- All devices enrolled in FileWave
- Teacher devices identified, with Classroom app installed on them
- 1:1 devices identified (with identified Student)
- Cart Groups for shared devices
- Classes information (teachers, students, cart) loaded into the FileWave database
So you will have to:
- Enroll devices
- Import SIS data (classes, teachers, students)
- Associate devices to users (for 1:1 and teachers) and Carts-to-Classes (Shared model)
- Deploy Classroom app to teacher devices
FileWave does not require a specific order for these actions.
Some scenarios:
- Enroll Cart devices and create carts
- Import SIS data
- Associate classes to carts
- Create placeholders for teacher devices
- Associate each teacher device to its teacher
- Deploy Classroom to teacher devices
- Have a 1:1 enrollment process (with auto enroll) where MDM auth username matches SIS identifier, so students can unbox their iPad and do the enrollment themselves
You can also prepare everything upfront:
- Import SIS data
- Import placeholders for 1:1 devices
- Enroll cart devices
- Associate classes to carts, devices to persons
- Deploy Classroom to teacher devices
- Enroll one-to-one devices
Changes can be incremental - so if, for instance, you have a new student, you can add the device:person association later without re-doing everything.
