One-To-One E-Learning Solution 27 Institute of Applied Technology Student MacBook Policy Policy Statement The Institute of Applied Technology One-To-One E-Learning is designed to enhance the students’ educational experience and foster learning by providing MacBook Pro technology and relevant software. This policy addresses teachers’ and students’ responsibilities related to the distribution, care, collection, and audit of student MacBooks. Policy Purpose The purpose of this policy is to ensure that: • IAT’s assets are protected; • Learning resources are properly and effectively utilized; • Develop student sense of ownership and responsibility. The above is accomplished by: • Making relevant parties, including the student MacBook users, aware of the policies and procedures related to One-To-One E-Learning; • Holding students accountable for their responsibilities in using and maintaining the issued MacBooks. The One-To-One E-Learning policies and procedures will be reviewed annually. Who Should Read This Policy All IAT students issued a MacBook, and staff who interface with those students. Deduction Scheme IAT provides Apple MacBooks to all its students with 50% subsidized price, where the remaining cost paid by the student will be deducted from students’ stipend over a period of 3 years starting from G10. The deduction will occur after each learning cycle and students who achieve an overall score above – or equal to – 85% will not pay for that learning cycle. 28 One-To-One E-Learning Solution Institute of Applied Technology Students receiving MacBooks should exercise best practices in caring for and maintaining the MacBook so that it serves them during their entire study program at IAT. Students who successfully complete G12 and graduate from IAT will keep their MacBooks. Students who leave IAT before successfully completing their program with IAT will return their MacBooks without any reimbursement of amounts deducted from their stipend toward the acquisition of the MacBook. MacBook Distribution The School IT Team will distribute a MacBook to a student after the following criteria are met: 1. The student is officially registered with IAT. 2. The student reviews and signs the One-To-One Agreement, confirming that all pertinent policies and procedures have been read, and that the student understands and accepts the responsibility for any damage or misuse of the MacBook, with the corresponding policies in that regard applying. Each student and the student’s parent/guardian will be required to sign the MacBook Receiving Undertaking Letter forms verifying the receipt of the MacBook. Guidelines for MacBook Maintenance, Care, and Use i) Requesting Software Installation Approval and Assistance All software provided on issued MacBooks is licensed for use by IAT. If students deem it necessary to augment what is provided, authorization from the school ICT Lead Teacher must be obtained prior to installation. The authorization request must include: 1. The original media and proof of a license for installation. 2. Acknowledgement that software licensed for a single computer has not already been installed on another computer. One-To-One E-Learning Solution 29 Institute of Applied Technology If a student needs assistance installing software, the student can ask for help from the ICT Lead Teacher.
