<p class="MsoNormal">Howdy y’all!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Pre-pandemic, our testing center was scoping requirements for an endpoint solution to help manage access to workstations outfitted with various assistive tech solutions for students testing with accommodations.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When I started in 2014, it was as easy as deploying a laptop or two each week in a testing room and toggling off the wi-fi… But we’ve grown substantially and now have eight desktop workstations and 13 laptops, some of which require internet
access (while others need to have no connectivity whatsoever.) Managing these options isn’t possible alongside my other FT responsibilities, so our division IT is looking for any existing solutions others may be using to manage this either remotely or through
a kiosk-style solution.<o:p></o:p></p>
