Abstract
Systems and methods presented here can allow a teacher to schedule the locking of one or more student devices into an asset at some time in the future. A teacher device can be used to configure lock information, including student identifying information, lock type information, asset information, and lock timing information. The lock information can be transmitted to the student devices for local storage. The lock can then initiate on the student device at the scheduled time even in instances when the student device is not connected to a communication network. After lock expiration, an updated asset can be stored at the student device in conjunction with lock confirmation information. When the student device detects a network connection, the updated asset and the lock confirmation information can be transmitted to a management server where it can be accessed and evaluated by the teacher.
