COW (Computers On Wheels) and iPad Mobile Lab Usage Guidelines
• COWs/iPads travel as a ‘herd’ – there are no ‘loners or loaners’;
• Bookings must be made by proposal in advance of intended use period by at least one week;
• A minimum of one SD#35 staff member must be present and accept full responsibility for the care of the COWs or iPads – this includes proper storage arrangements and security of the lab and all its components;
• Files should be deleted from the workspace/user at the end of each session unless arrangements have been made to have a separate login for concurrent sessions, such as CTAPs;
• All media is the responsibility of the booking group – CDs, DVDs, paper, etc;
• Please note that support for the iPads and COWs is limited to delivery to the room booked and initial set-up, if requested. The person responsible for making the proposal and booking the COWs is expected to be able to operate the components independently, within reason. There is not necessarily ‘tech support’ or ‘educational support’ available while the COWs are in use (especially after 4:30);
• The iPads and COWs are available for use within the SBO only;
• You are required to attend a training session on the COWs or display an equivalent level of competence before the COWs will be released into your care.
