Teach for India runs large-scale educational programs for thousands of school kids in India. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, they were determined to enable students from lower income households to continue their education. Securing 10,000 Android tablets for the students became their number one priority.
Teach for India purchased Android devices for their reliability and affordability. But they needed a partner capable of providing a technical solution for deploying the devices to their students in time for the school year. A partner who could deliver:
In order to cope with the Pandemic and ensure that our students wouldn’t miss out or fall behind, we procured 10,000 devices with an aim to use them for blended learning once the schools resumed. A Mobile Device Manager (MDM) wasn’t enough. We required a partner that would help us to restrict usage to educational apps, track our devices and enable our teachers to monitor the students’ usage of the devices.
Traditional MDM solutions weren't enough to help Teach for India successfully rollout devices to remote students. Esper helped procure Android tablets for Teach for India and, using our cloud tools powerful enough to support EdTech, transformed them into dedicated devices for their staff and students.
With Esper's no-touch provisioning, the devices were pre-loaded with enrollment profiles and configured for single-use ships directly to the student’s location. Once powered on, students only needed to follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup.
Esper's solution fulfilled the organizational demands in time for school without requiring considerable IT resources from Teach for India. Teach for India can now realize the benefits of Esper's Android DevOps solution, which includes:
Esper won us with their intuitive interface, ease of enrollment and their constant hands-on support. So far, we have successfully enrolled and deployed almost 12,000 of our devices to our students who needed the devices the most. Esper has allowed us to seamlessly enroll all devices through the Zero-Touch Enrollment method while ensuring no device is outside the system.
