MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

JAMF Software has announced significant new classroom management capabilities with Casper Focus, enabling teachers to unlock the full potential of iPad in the classroom. Casper Focus allows teachers to ensure that all students are engaged, on the same activity, and using their iOS devices in the ways the technology was intended.

Using the Casper Suite, educators are able to distribute content and apps directly to any iOS device, ensuring a consistent and standardized method for delivering educational content to students. With the release of Casper Focus, teachers gain the ability to leverage the Casper Suites powerful classroom management tools, without requiring interaction from their IT departments. The end result is that educators have granular control over the devices in their classroom, able to focus all students on the same curriculum at the same time or work with subgroups and individuals as they progress through curriculum at different paces.

A focused and consistent learning experience

Casper Focus introduces capabilities tailored to the specific needs of the classroom, developed with feedback from teachers and their experience using Apple technologies.

For instance, a teacher may limit students exclusively to the content that they are teaching or assessing, ensuring that students attention is focused on the curriculum. Student devices can be focused on a single app so that students do not wander to other apps or reference unauthorized materials during exams.

Previously, many of these capabilities would have required significant manual work to implement, while relying upon an informal combination of unsupported or disparate technologies. Casper Focus consolidates these features into a single interface boasting significant customization options, meeting the wide variety of needs for educators leveraging Apple technologies on a daily basis.

We couldnt be more excited to provide tools that improve the ways educators share the best educational curriculum with students, said Nick Amundsen, Developer Manager, R&D at JAMF Software. We have long had the opportunity to work with System Administrators behind the scenes, building enterprise tools that power widespread use of Apple technologies in education organizations. Now, with Casper Focus, weve placed these powerful technologies directly into the hands of the teachers that work with students every day.

New frontiers of Apple technology in education

JAMF Software technologies enable many of the largest one-to-one programs and deployments of Apple technologies around the world, including 7 of the top 10 universities and many of the top 100 school districts.
