Abstract
This disclosure presents a method and system to securely distribute educational content to residents of controlled-environment facilities participating in voluntary educational programs. The method and system involve the provision of portable devices to residents. The residents view externally managed educational content on the portable devices. Users outside of the controlled-environment facility configure classes and students and tailor curricula for individual residents. A portable device downloads the appropriate educational content through a synchronization process that occurs within the controlled-environment facility by interfacing with a synchronization and charging station. The portable device functions only to access the educational content and does not allow any unrelated capabilities or functionalities.
