As part of the news offered starting with iOS 9.3, the Apple company launched last night in the App Store a new application called Classroom, with the role of facilitating children's access to the Cupertino tablet and the applications installed on it.
Using the Classroom app, iOS 9.3 and MDM system, schools can offer the same iPad tablet to a much larger number of students, each of them having a personalized iOS account that they can use with separate applications and information.
Basically Apple has implemented in iOS 9.3 a system similar to that of Windows or OS X that allows the creation of multiple user accounts for the operating system, each of them having separate sets of data and configurations, accessible only to certain people.
application Classroom facilitates the use of this system through the functions it offers, the Apple company considering that in this way it can make its tablets much more attractive for the educational environment.
