Do you have a reMarkable writing tablet?
For security reasons, the reMarkable writing tablet can no longer be purchased at OsloMet.
Previously purchased writing tablets from reMarkable can still be used, provided that only open (green) data is stored. The device must be protected with a pin code. The writing tablet can´t be connected to an OsloMet OneDrive account in reMarkable Cloud. This also applies to private reMarkables used for work.
The reason that reMarkable can no longer be purchased, is that the writing tablet's built-in storage cannot be encrypted, and that the writing tablets only protection is a pin code.
In combination with synchronization between OneDrive and reMarkable's own cloud service, this can lead to data from OsloMet being stored with insufficient protection.
OsloMet follows the security development of reMarkable and will revise our guidelines if reMarkable offers encryption and/or other enhanced security measures.
