Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)

What is BYOD?

A BYOD approach allows students to bring an IT device to Oxley College that best support their learning needs. IT devices are powerful means of differentiating and personalising a student’s education, and student-owned devices facilitate student choice over which application best suits their learning and communication style. Please read the BYOD Overview for important information to assist you when making your purchase.

The links below will help explain the Oxley College BYOD program and our new purchasing portal.

Canvas

At Oxley College, we use an online learning system to help support our students. The system is called Canvas and students can access this using their normal school login here. There is also a mobile app that students and parents can use, both for iOS and Android.

Parents can also follow their child’s progress by using their parent observer account and going to the Parent Canvas login. From 2021, accounts for new users have been set up for parents and login details emailed. Parents with current Canvas accounts can continue using their existing logins on the mobile app.

Using a platform like Canvas is key for students to be prepared for how University and other courses are run today and will be in the future. Teachers will be posting assessment information and course material through this platform, which will help students find information if they miss something in class and also help promote independent study habits in our students.
