iPad issued to children by schools/council

The request was successful.

Dear Glasgow City Council,

Under Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 please provide the following information:

1) Please advise how many children have access to iPads given to them by schools/city council.

2) Please list the apps available on the iPads by school type, Nursery, Primary, Secondary, and any other type of schools, using iPads.

3) How how do schools ensure that the work set, done outside the school on electronic devices/iPads, is done by the specific student and not by other people?

4) Which body oversees the management of the iPad device?

Some parts of this request may be easier to answer than others and in such case please could you release available data as soon as possible rather than delay the entire request. If you are not fully certain of what it is I am asking then I look forward to contact from you as soon as possible to clarify what it is I am requesting in order to meet your obligations under the law. If the costs of processing this request exceed the limit in the Act, please advise on what information you are able to supply within the cost limit.

Yours faithfully,

Pippa King

Dear FOI_CCT,

Ref: 7202627

Please could you conduct an internal review to Q1, Q2 and Q4.

Further to your response to Q2 please could you advise where I may get this data from?
If it is each individual school, under Freedom of Information, I am unable to ask schools directly. If each school has this data (which it must have), i.e. a list of the apps on the iPads their students are using, then I would respectfully ask for that information from yourselves via the schools, as your response to Q4 indicates "operational management is the responsibility of the individual schools'. Does this include iPad apps?
If this exceeds the costs of the Act please advise and I will narrow my request accordingly.

Also it states on the Glasgow City Council website that "All iPads will be tracked and managed via Glasgow City Council's Mobile Device Management system." see https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/article/24934... hence my Freedom of Information request to you. Please could you clarify what 'tracked and managed' means. From your response to Q1 and Q2, it indicates that the council is unclear on the extent of the iPad rollout and also has no idea of how the iPads are being used, yet your website suggests differently.

In your response to Q4 you state "technical management is done by our IT provider CGI" yet Glasgow City Council's Mobile Device Management System has some responsibility of management according to your website. Please clarify.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Pippa King
