Vasileios Gkamas, Michael Paraskevas, Emmanouel Varvarigos · 2016
The proliferation of mobiles devices, such as laptops, tablets and smartphones, has led a number of educational networks to define Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies that allow students and teachers to bring their own devices to school and use them for educational and learning purposes. This paper presents a case study for the design of an effective and secure BYOD policy for the Greek School Network, discussing also the main security challenges and issues faced and how they were handled. We believe that BYOD is a promising technology that could add long-term value in the educational process and learning activities, when it is designed in a secure and efficient manner.
