How classes are created — with Apple School Manager, MDM, or by teachers
There are three types of environments you can create for your classes with Classroom. Select the one that best fits your organisation’s requirements and needs. Consult the list below to determine the most appropriate way to create classes in your organisation.
Nearby: All students are in the same room with you, connected to the school’s Wi-Fi network.
Remote: All students (and you) are remote, connected to their Wi-Fi network or using a mobile data connection from their iPad (requires the iPad to have mobile data capability).
Hybrid: Some students are in the same room with you, connected to the school’s Wi-Fi network, and some students are remote.
Note: Only one active class type is supported on a device at a time.
