What is Device Management Application (DMA)?
A DMA will come pre-installed on all PLDs purchased through the school and will be installed on any student-owned devices parents/guardians opt for the student to use in lieu of the PLD, subject to parental/guardian consent. The DMA has 3 main components which will support the use of the PLD in the classroom and safeguard students’ cyber wellness:
Classroom Management Service. To help teachers manage students’ use of the PLD during lesson time to improve classroom management and support effective teaching and learning.
Mobile Device Management Service. To help update and manage the PLD, protect the PLD from malicious software, and protects students from objectionable internet content.
Usage Management Service. To enable school and/or parents/guardians to better supervise and set helpful limits for students’ use of PLD after school.
The DMA software, Mobile Guardian, will be installed on your child’s PLD to provide a safe learning experience and to prevent misuse.
Installation of the DMA is after the collection of the device.
This installation applies to devices purchased through the school and pre-existing student-owned devices.
The DMA is funded by MOE, and will be uninstalled from the PLD when your child/ward graduates from our school.
