Shared iPad overview
Shared iPad allows more than one user to sign in to an iPad. The iPad must be supervised before Shared iPad can be used. Shared iPad can be used not only in education but also in business. Multiple users can use the iPad, and the user experiences can be personal even though the devices are shared.
Shared iPad requires a mobile device management (MDM) solution and Managed Apple IDs that are issued and owned by the organization. Users with a Managed Apple ID can then sign in to Shared iPad , which is owned by the organization. Devices must have at least 32 GB of storage and be supervised. Shared iPad is supported on:
Teachers can also use the Classroom app for iPad or the Classroom app for Mac with Shared iPad . With Classroom, educators can take full advantage of iPad—helping students stay on task by using Classroom tools to manage common classroom workflows. To see the requirements for Classroom with Shared iPad , see the Classroom User Guide.
For example, in the classroom, transitions from class to class are greatly simplified. It’s easier to pick up right where students left off, and their work is automatically saved. When used with Classroom, intelligent caching helps accelerate student sign-ins by returning students to an iPad they previously used.
