The purchase of Personal Learning Device (PLD) will be pre-installed with Device Management Application (DMA) before PLDs can be used in school to support teaching & learning. It ensures that the child’s learning is uninterrupted and focused. This will complement the digital literacy efforts in school.
The DMA can:
Remotely deploy teaching and learning applications as well as security patches
Enable teachers to monitor and control the students’ screens
Restrict apps and websites accessiblity
Limit screen time
The school will be collecting parents’ email addresses for the setting up of the parents’ DMA accounts (one email address per PLD). More information will be provided at a later date.
