Workshop description:
The 2017 NMC Horizon report on the use and impact of technology in Higher Education still references the concept of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD). What can and should BYOD mean for CPUT? Should we expect student to bring their own devices? Can the CPUT mobile app serve as a communication and collaboration platform? Is it fair to expect students to carry their own devices within a social justice framework?
Join us for a workshop to discuss this issue where we will look into:
- Information sharing, legalities and planning for security incidents;
- Institutional policies, ownership models and staff agreements;
- Device support and technical controls;
- Risk management.
Sakkie will provide a general overview on BYOD at CPUT, while Suzaan will share her experiences with using tablets in her teaching of software programming to Business Accounting students.
