Abstract: This paper describes the planning and mass deployment of mobile online devices in a dual licensure teacher preparation program at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The first phase of the project focused on developing practical solutions to managing a fleet iPad Minis. An iterative development process was used to design a cart based on project requirements to enable charging, synchronizing, setting up, and administrating 40 iPad Minis. As we prepare for the implementation of the mobile devices in the courses this fall, we feel our plan for managing massive amounts of devices will allow instructors to focus their attention on apps and curriculum integration. We believe this descriptive case report will be of value to instructors, technology coordinators, and other stakeholders who are currently considering a mass mobile device implementation.
