Survey


Key Findings - 1
 There is wide acceptance for at least some level of BYOD across all educational
institutions. More than 85 percent of institutions surveyed allow some form of
BYOD, and only 6 percent report no plans to implement it in the future.
 The technologies that students are bringing to school are extremely diverse—from
traditional laptops to various flavours of smart phones and tablets, and recreational
devices like gaming consoles and internet TVs.
 Devices aren’t just for personal use; they’re increasingly being integrated into the
classroom and learning experience. This trend will see a lot of attention in coming
years as educators take advantage of personal mobile devices as part of the 21st
Century Classroom and other teaching initiatives.


Key Findings - 2
Security continues to be a top concern for many organizations. The survey also
found evidence of questionable security practices that have been implemented,
creating network vulnerabilities for many respondents.
Uncertainty about how to manage network visibility and control is preventing some
institutions from utilizing BYOD at its full potential.
