Digital Strategy
Our Education Support team has over 25 years of experience at the forefront of the Irish Edtech space, working with some of Ireland’s best known Schools, ETBs and Third Level institutions to help design and implement their digital learning strategies. We understand that every situation is unique, and it can take time and consultation to choose the best digital learning technology for both students and teachers. That’s why our Expert technicians like to immerse themselves in the workings of each school and it’s leaders, to fully understand their requirements before proposing any solution.
01.
We understand the need to tailor each build to cater to the specific user. Most support providers don’t differentiate their services between corporate and education, or simply don’t have the necessary expertise in Edtech. We only work in the education sector, and use a ‘clean-build‘ protocol for optimised security, performance and peace of mind.
02.
Our device management services allow the school to monitor all of their devices from the one platform. This means you can decide exactly what apps are installed and which are prohibited. Lock down what sites can be viewed, and which location they can be viewed from. Security updates can be rolled out automatically to all users, keeping devices safe & secure.
03.
We’ve used and tested countless devices in our time in Edtech and have come to learn which ones are best suited to an active student population and which are better off in an office environment. As a result, we will only recommend education devices which we’ve tested against the rigors of the classroom and can fully stand over for use in education.
Consultation
Technology is ever evolving, and it can sometimes be challenging to decide exactly which digital learning technologies in education to invest in and understand which will deliver the best value for your educators and students. Whether you are a school leader who is exploring 1:1 education devices for the first time, or your school wants to implement an esports programme for transition years, we’ll match you up with a member of the OFE team who’s a specialist in that area.
Our solutions specialist will run through an assessment of your current set up, and where you’d like to progress to, and then take you through some use case examples. If you’d like we can put you in touch with other school leaders who have gone for a similar solution, and after taking all of your requirements and feedback into consideration, we’ll prepare our recommended options and guide pricing for you to consider.
Pre-provisioning
This crucial stage takes place before deployment and involves in-depth discussion with the key stakeholders to determine the specifics of the solution to be provided. This can include items such as what levels of security are required, what configuration is needed for devices, and what should be covered in terms of ongoing device and security management. Our team will share their learnings and advise what has worked well (and what hasn’t) for schools who have previously gone through the process, as well as any new innovations and functionality which our technical team have been testing. Ultimately though, the school’s project team will decide their own requirements – with the help and guidance from our team of experts.
