What This Document Is
This document is a lab exercise designed for students in East Carolina University’s Information and Cybersecurity Technology Fundamentals (ICTN 1500) course. It provides a hands-on experience with basic iOS device operation, focusing on app management – specifically, arranging apps on the home screen, creating and modifying folders, installing new applications, and uninstalling existing ones. The lab uses the LastPass password manager as an example for the installation process.
Why This Document Matters
This lab is crucial for students building foundational skills in mobile operating system interaction. Understanding how to manage applications is a core competency for anyone working in IT, cybersecurity, or related fields, as mobile devices are increasingly central to both personal and professional workflows. This exercise prepares students for more advanced tasks involving mobile device security and configuration. It’s intended to be completed during a scheduled lab session, providing practical application of concepts discussed in lectures.
Common Limitations or Challenges
This lab focuses *solely* on the user interface aspects of iOS app management. It does not cover advanced topics like mobile device management (MDM), app security vulnerabilities, or the underlying operating system architecture. Students will need additional resources to understand the security implications of app installations or the technical details of iOS permissions. The lab assumes access to a functioning iOS device with an active Apple account.
What This Document Provides
