9. Configuring Teacher Groups

Teacher groups should be used to allow your teachers the ability to have a degree of control of students and their devices in the classroom. Using these groups, Teachers can control the provisioning of iOS applications and books on the devices as well as certain student actions in the classroom.

As an Administrator, you can use the Teacher group to set up permissions for your teachers within the classroom setting. These permissions will allow the teacher to, therefore, administer certain actions to the devices and students added to the Teacher group.

The first step is to create a Teacher group.

Go to All Devices and click on Teacher groups and click on the Add Teacher group button.

The first tab is the Info tab, Add your Teacher group name in the Group Name field provided.

The Set Permissions section is categorised into two areas, permissions to administer Devices and Student linking.

Once you have set up these teacher permissions click Create.

The next step is to navigate to the Devices tab to assign devices to the Teacher group. These devices should be the student devices needed for that teacher.

The next step is to navigate to the Devices tab to assign devices to the Teacher group. These devices should be the student devices needed for that teacher.

Note: You can also bulk assign the Teacher group in the Device Section > All Devices. Select the devices from the list and click Actions. Scroll down and select Assign to Teacher Groups. Once you have searched and assigned the relevant Teacher group, you can navigate back to the specific Teacher group and view your assigned devices.

The next step is to add your Teacher(s), search for the teachers’ name in the input field provided and select the relevant teacher. Click the Add button and the teacher will be linked to that Teacher group.

Teachers have the ability to request licenses or access to applications they might need during a class.

In the Teacher group section > Application tab, you can assign applications to the teacher for use in their classes.

Once you have added the requested applications, they will appear in the Classroom Management dashboard in their classes.
