Systems for configuring and managing classroom devices
Systems herein allow an administrator to efficiently set up user devices for use in a classroom environment. A management server can display a graphical user interface that includes selection options for defining and using carts of user devices. The carts can be selected and assigned to classes. The GUI also allows the administrator to specify which applications a class will use. Based on these selections, the management server can then manage which user devices install which applications, and allocate licenses accordingly.
1. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium containing instructions executed by at least one processor to perform stages for configuring user devices in a classroom, the stages comprising:
displaying, on a graphical user interface (“GUI”), a first page comprising a plurality of classes;
displaying on the GUI, in an instance where a user selects one of the plurality of classes from the first page, a second page associated with the selected class, wherein the selected class is associated with a plurality of user devices;
receiving, at the GUI, a selection of a first cart to be associated with the selected class, the first cart associated with a first application; and
installing the first application on the plurality of user devices.
2. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 1 , the stages further comprising:
displaying, on a third page, a plurality of applications including the first application and a second application;
receiving, at the GUI, a selection of the second application to be added to the first cart; and
installing the second application on the plurality of user devices associated with the first cart.
3. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 1 , the stages further comprising:
displaying, on a fourth page, a plurality of carts including the first cart;
displaying a first option for viewing classes associated with a selected cart; and
displaying a second option for viewing user devices associated with the selected cart.
4. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 3 , wherein the fourth page includes an indication of the number of devices associated with each of the plurality of carts.
5. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein installing the first application includes staging the first application on the first plurality of user devices.
6. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein installing the first application includes allocating licenses to the first plurality of user devices.
7. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein installing is performed by a management agent executing on each of the first plurality of user devices.
8. A method for configuring user devices in a classroom, comprising:
displaying, on a graphical user interface (“GUI”), a first page comprising a plurality of classes;
displaying on the GUI, in an instance where a user selects one of the plurality of classes from the first page, a second page associated with the selected class, wherein the selected class is associated with a plurality of user devices;
receiving, at the GUI, a selection of a first cart to be associated with the selected class, the first cart associated with a first application; and
installing the first application on the plurality of user devices.
9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
displaying, on a third page, a plurality of applications including the first application and a second application;
receiving, at the GUI, a selection of the second application to be added to the first cart; and
installing the second application on the plurality of user devices associated with the first cart.
10. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
displaying, on a fourth page, a plurality of carts including the first cart;
displaying a first option for viewing classes associated with a selected cart; and
displaying a second option for viewing user devices associated with the selected cart.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the fourth page includes an indication of the number of devices associated with each of the plurality of carts.
12. The method of claim 8 , wherein installing the first application includes staging the first application on the first plurality of user devices.
13. The method of claim 8 , wherein installing the first application includes allocating licenses to the first plurality of user devices.
14. The method of claim 8 , wherein installing is performed by a management agent executing on each of the first plurality of user devices.
15. A system for configuring user devices in a classroom, comprising:
a non-transitory, computer readable medium containing instructions; and
a processor that executes the instructions to perform stages comprising:
displaying, on a graphical user interface (“GUI”), a first page comprising a plurality of classes;
displaying on the GUI, in an instance where a user selects one of the plurality of classes from the first page, a second page associated with the selected class, wherein the selected class is associated with a plurality of user devices;
receiving, at the GUI, a selection of a first cart to be associated with the selected class, the first cart associated with a first application; and
installing the first application on the plurality of user devices.
16. The system of claim 15 , the stages further comprising:
displaying, on a third page, a plurality of applications including the first application and a second application;
receiving, at the GUI, a selection of the second application to be added to the selected class; and
installing the second application on the plurality of user devices associated with the selected class.
17. The system of claim 15 , the stages further comprising:
displaying, on a fourth page, a plurality of carts including the first cart;
displaying a first option for viewing classes associated with a selected cart; and
displaying a second option for viewing user devices associated with the selected cart.
18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the fourth page includes an indication of the number of devices associated with each of the plurality of carts.
19. The system of claim 15 , wherein installing the first application includes staging the first application on the first plurality of user devices.
20. The system of claim 15 , wherein installing the first application includes allocating licenses to the first plurality of user devices.
