Jim's diagram and explanation is fantastic. Thank Jim!
I shared the diagram and some more info about the App Store Volume Purchase Program on my blog at Learning in Hand: App Store Volume Purchase Program Explained.
The post has generated some strongly-worded comments. The complexity and price of the VPP is causing some educators to re-think using Apple's handhelds. In addition to the educators who have commented, a developer comments about his perspective on the purchase program.
No one seems to be happy with the new arrangement. Though, as part of the new Terms and Conditions, Apple states that they can change the program at any time. So maybe they will listen and make the whole thing more education friendly.
This is awesome Jim! Thank you for sharing this important information in an incredibly easy-to-understand format :)
Tony is right... no one seems happy with the new arrangement. I shared the diagram with my district and they basically laughed at me when I presented them with the options! I do think (and hope!) Apple will change their ways though. We can't forget how new the iPad is to the market. I don't think Apple was expecting so many schools to jump on board so quickly. Hopefully Apple will see how important it is to have a better management system in place for their mobile devices and give schools the tools they need. I have high hopes they will do it sooner than later! Fingers crossed...
Thank you again Jim for the fantastic diagram!
In our school district we are deploying hundreds of iPads but with this App purchasing and distribution model I do not see many schools jumping on the App purchase bandwagon anytime soon. So far most of the App installs I have seen are for free Apps.
