Device Management Application

Your child’s/ward’s PLD has been installed with a Device Management Application (DMA) to ensure that he/she uses the PLD for learning in a safer digital learning environment.

The following DMA settings will be in place as a default:

• MOE and the school will set the level of web content filtering, including filtering out social media sites, pornography, gambling, extremist and violence-related sites

• Usage for school hours will be set to 0630 - 1800

• The school will determine the apps and programmes to be installed to support teaching and learning

• A parent/guardian account* will be enabled to allow you to monitor your child’s/ward’s PLD activities and partner the school to ensure the student’s cyber well-being.

Parents/Guardians may wish to consider the following questions before deciding on the choice of after-school DMA option which is best for your child’s/ward’s learning.

a.   Child’s/Ward’s current device usage habits

• How much time does my child/ward spend on his/her device?

• How well is my child/ward able to regulate his/her device usage on his/her own?

• Does my child/ward get easily distracted while doing online learning?

b.  Parental/Guardian involvement

• How confident and familiar am I with managing my child’s/ward’s cyber wellness?

• Are there existing routines and open conversations on the use of the Internet at home?

• Am I aware of how to prevent different types of cyber threats that my child/ward might face?

*Parents/Guardians will receive an activation email when the Parent Portal is available.
