Classroom – Shared iPad

Terms and Definitions


Classroom – this is this is Apple's application for teachers allowing them to manage a class of students using iPad devices. Main features:

Shared iPad - this is a special mode in which iPad devices can be put, which allows multi-users on a single iPad.

Apple School Manager - this is Apple "Super DEP" portal for education.

One-to-One (1:1) context - this is a deployment model where a person is getting a device that is not shared with another person.
Cart - this is a Group of devices that usually stay in one classroom, and that are shared by students. They do not have to actually be stored in a cart; this is just a logical grouping that we chose to call a Cart.

While Classroom and Shared iPad share the same underlying concepts, it is not mandatory to use both together:
