I am putting this in the Jamf School section because that is what we are currently using, but I believe this is a relevant topic for everyone.
I started working in my position at a K12 school last summer and have been learning many things about technology administration very quickly. One of these things that has been the most difficult to handle is educating our end users. Personally, I have the motivation to help understanding the software we deploy, as it can be useful for everyone. Our biggest obstacle is time, as the staff is already tight on time as it is (or at least that is what I am told), and there has been no "tech time" scheduled for the foreseeable future.
In the best case scenario, the setup should be clean and simple enough for staff or student to pick up their device and know exactly how to use it. There are some applications that make this a struggle, and still require a tech to assist or instruct. We moved from Jamf Pro to Jamf School (Pro had more features than we were going to utilize effectively) and there were many confused staff that didn't understand the change; when told Jamf Teacher was replacing Self Service, most didn't know what Self Service was.
I've begun considering different ways I could provide relevant resources to the staff and students in a way that is readily available, but not in their face. At this point, it has only been brainstorming and wishful thinking with no solid idea having formed yet. So I pose my original question: Do you educate your end users, and if so how? If anyone would share their experiences or practices that may have been a wild success or a well-learned mistake, it may help me or others with a beneficial process going forward.
Thanks in advance.
