Last year, when an MDR survey asked curriculum directors to rate the various factors that influenced their buying decisions for digital instruction, the one that surfaced above all others was compatibility with multiple computing devices, chosen by 62 percent of respondents. No wonder. A multiplicity of devices proliferates on the school campus, especially in an era of rising acceptance for bring-your-own-device. As a new report from MDR points out, students may show up with “smartphones, iPads, tablets, laptops, desktops and Chromebooks.” Those devices may be running iOS, Android, Chrome and Windows. Even district-provided devices can run the gamut depending on which grade they’re being used in.
