Technology for Classes: Can I use a Samsung s10 ultra with attached keyboard?
Answer
Unfortunately no, that would be sufficient to use for classes. The program we use for test taking, called LockDown Browser, is not compatible with a Samsung S10 or other Android devices, as it was designed for Windows and Mac computers.

Here at the library we do have 24hr laptops available for checkout that students can checkout for the day to use for taking quizzes or tests, but they are limited in quantity and are checked out on a first-come, first-served basis. Our IT department offers long-term laptop checkout options for qualifying students, so that may be another option for you. To learn more about long-term checkouts, contact our IT department at (515) 473-8158.
