Education’s Digital Evolution

Our schools are seeing a wide variety of tablets, laptops, smartphones and other mobile devices being used by students of all ages, teachers and administration inside and outside the classroom. These devices enable e-learning with anytime, anywhere, any device access to critical applications for curriculum and collaboration. At the same time, schools are continually challenged to meet shifting compliance requirements and distance-learning considerations, while maintaining security across multiple platforms and device ownership models.

BlackBerry Workspaces provided everything we needed: Great security, excellent usability, and the ability to edit protected documents while they’re on the server. It also lets us know exactly where a document is being accessed at any given time – that logging and reporting functionality is something no one else does.
