Device Management Application(DMA)

Functions of the DMA

A Device Management Application (“DMA”) will come pre-installed on all PLDs purchased through the school and will be installed on all student-owned devices 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:

(a)  Mobile Device Management Service. This facilitates the updating and managing of the PLD, protects the PLD from malicious software, and protects students from objectionable internet content.

(b) Classroom Management Service. This enables teachers to manage the students’ use of the PLD during lesson time to improve classroom management and support effective teaching and learning.

(c) Usage Management Service. This enables the school and/or parents/guardians to better supervise and set helpful limits for students’ use of PLD after school.

You may find more information about the DMA Options here.

Selecting After-School DMA Options for PLDs

For parents/guardians who prefer alternative DMA settings after school hours, they can choose from the following options:

• Option A: For parents/guardians who prefer to take charge of the level of restrictions for their child’s/ward’s use of the device after school hours regulated by the DMA.

• Option B: For parents/guardians who do not want their child’s/ward’s use of the device after school hours to be regulated by the DMA at all.

• Default Option : For parents/guardians who want their child’s/ward’s use of the device to be restricted only to teaching and learning, and who prefer to follow the Default Setting as set by the school for both during and after school hours.

For the above options please refer to the comparison list
