Is there a student login for school tablets?

Skie for Enterprise · Updated

Short answer

Yes. Skie has a student web login used in school flows, and each student is linked to one tablet. A tablet is not shared between students, so the login identifies the student and the device records the history. Student access is limited to what the school allows.

In Skie a student is a record in the school structure: they sit in a group, they have one device, and they can have a login for the flows the school switches on. The rule is one student, one device. That makes it clear who has which tablet and gives each student a clean history.

The login is a web login, so it works from the dashboard link and does not require anything installed on the tablet. What a student can do after signing in is limited to the flows the school enables. A student cannot change rules, see other students or reach the admin pages.

People often ask about shared tablets, such as a lab cart used by several classes. Skie ties a device to one student, so a pure shared-device model is not how it works. If the school has shared tablets, the practical options are to keep them as devices assigned to a group or a staff member, or to reassign between students when needed. Reassign keeps the device history.

Disable a login when a student leaves. Admins can invite and disable users at any level they control, and disabling the user also keeps old access from lingering.

Features such as attendance from the tablet and ERP integration are not available yet, and the team is working on them. The login does not replace your school ERP or attendance system.

A practical tip: give logins at the start of term in a short session, show students what they can see, and tell them who to ask when something does not work. A five minute briefing prevents a surprising number of help requests.
