When will I receive my device?
Navigate to the 'osu-for-Mac-Stable-Latest-master' you extracted earlier and choose this 7. Now it will ask you 'Please select which executable file is normally used in windows to start this program' - there will be a very long list of '.exe' files but try and fine the file that ends with 'osu!exe' and choose this one.
- On a Mac, you can open it in Applications, but on Windows 10, I just searched for it in the Start Menu. In the dropdown field, type vpn.asc.ohio-state.edu - this address will be saved next time you want to connect.
- For example, you can enter smb://fileserver.rf.ohio-state.edu/drive name and select the Connect button. Enter your lastname.# and password; To make sure the drive reconnects if you reboot the computer, follow these next steps: Go to the Apple logo at the top left of your screen; Click on System Preferences; Go to Users & Groups.
You will receive your device at the start of your Ohio State experience. Check the autumn 2020 distribution plan for the latest information about how to receive your iPad kit. We will continue to provide training and ample resources to help you make use of your technology in college.
We have selected the 10.5' iPad Air with 256GB of storage for 2020-2021 academic year distributions.
We look forward to equipping you (our newest class of Buckeyes) with a technology toolset that will support your learning and life at Ohio State; facilitating the development of digital literacy skill sets and preparing you for future careers and opportunities.
Do I still need to buy a laptop?
The answer depends on what you plan to do on your computer.
While we know many students will find that the iPad will cover most of their computing needs, others will need to purchase a computer with additional features. We find that many students take their iPad to class and around campus, and use their laptop in their residence hall or at home.
The iPad can do many of the same functions of a traditional computer, but there are specific software programs and tasks that will not work on iPad.
We recommend visiting Tech Hub if you are unsure whether you should purchase a laptop. They will use your major and hobbies to help determine if the iPad covers your needs or if an additional device would make sense.
Students attending regional campuses are encouraged to call, email or visit Tech Hub's online laptop decision guide to help inform additional technology purchases.
If I decline the iPad, do I receive another device, credit, or other compensation?
If you decline the iPad AND graduate from Ohio State before the value of the iPad depreciates to $0, then you are due a form of credit (as determined by the university) at the time of graduation as determined by the depreciated value chart.
Please note that only students who opt-out of receiving an iPad AND successfully graduate before the iPad is valued at $0 are due a credit, those who opt out and graduate after the iPad is valued at $0 are not eligible for a credit.
In the event that you change your mind about your decision to decline, you may accept the technology kit at any time during your undergraduate studies.
What if I already have an iPad or other tablet?
We know you may own another iPad or tablet, but the iPad you get from Ohio State is different than any of your personally owned devices. While it has many of the same freedoms, the iPad you will receive this includes additional security and a suite of apps made available to you free of charge as an Ohio State student.
Can I take the iPad home over breaks?
Yes. You're welcome to take the device home with you over breaks.
Where can I learn more about how to use my iPad?
You've got options:
Visit the Discover app on your iPad for new challenges, tips and tricks throughout the semester. You can also find the Digital Flagship handbook on your iPad for even more information about using technology for your classes.
If you need to ask a question or would like one-on-one help using any of the technology tools Ohio State provides you, check out tech tutoring with Student Mentors.
Check the events page to find virtual workshops that dive deep into specific features of your device.
Is Ohio State committed to only one type of technology?
No. Ohio State students, faculty and staff will continue to use a wide variety of technology from a number of brands. The iPads will be a common tool in Ohio State’s integrated learning community, but other computers and technology devices can and will be used across the university.
Who owns the devices?
The devices will be university property while you're at Ohio State. When you graduate all Ohio State management will be removed and ownership of the device will transfer to you.
What if I withdraw or transfer from Ohio State?
If you withdraw or transfer from Ohio State you will be required to return the equipment and all related accessories, or purchase the equipment at its depreciated value as established by the university.
Will I be able to customize my device?
Yes, you will have access to change settings on your device to help it best fit you.
We will manage these devices with a Mobile Device Management system (Jamf), which will require a strong passcode but will allow you to customize most settings.
Apps from Ohio State will be made available on the device, but you will be able to add additional apps from the Apple app store and Self Service.
Are there any prohibited actions on the device? Will I be locked out of Netflix?
We encourage you to use your iPad throughout your time at Ohio State, both in and outside the classroom. That means writing that term paper and taking a break to watch Netflix.
Banned actions include trying to jailbreak or otherwise remove the mobile device management system on the device, and installing alternate app stores or using the device for illegal activities. Complete guidelines can be found on the Student Technology Agreement.
What information is being gathered through my iPad?
We will not be monitoring your day-to-day activities on your iPad. The mobile device management system does collect data on the apps that are installed on your iPad but does not provide data on when, where, or how those apps were used.
That being said, Ohio State does monitor all network traffic and the mobile device management system will have the ability to alert us if you do something illegal, try to jailbreak your device, or download an app not found in the official Apple App Store. If we are alerted to these activities we notify you and reset or 'brick' your device.
The full answer can be found in the Digital Flagship Student Technology Agreement.
Eachapp you use has a privacy statement that explains how the app collects and uses information. For more information, check out the Ohio State Privacy Statement.
How do I get help? What if my iPad is lost/stolen/broken?
This information can be found on our 'Get Help' page.
What if I need to use assistive technology?
There are many ways to configure your iPad to meet your needs. We will provide resources as we near device deployments this summer.
The Office of Disability Services is also available to help any student with assistive technology needs.
Apple also has a variety of accessibility resources linked to iPad.
How do I back up my Explain Everything files?
If you're graduating or leaving the university the Digital Flagship team will remove device management from your iPad. When this happens, Explain Everything will be deleted along with any associated data.
To retain access to your Explain EDU files, you will need to back up or export the individual files you will want access to.
