This question was asked 18 months ago by William from UTA, but without much in 
the way of an answer. The replies immediately went down a cloudpath rabbit 
hole, never to be seen again.

Here is what William asked, and exactly the situation my team was put in today:

"Does anyone have experience managing iPads for classrooms (where an iPad is 
given to each user and returned at the end of the course, only for the next 
class to pick them up)?  I'm interested in how to manage credentials in an 
802.1x environment (to ensure actions on the network are attributable to the 
user at that time).   If someone has resolved this, I'd like to speak with 
them, we have instructors working on proposals."

We have a 'no generic account' policy on our campus, and if it is possible we 
want all of our students to use their own credentials at the start of the class 
period with the iPads getting amnesia at the end. It seems that re-syncing them 
using the Apple Configurator or iTunes is the only way, but I wanted to check 
with the hive mind to see if anyone had some neat trick. Ideally it is a 
setting/template to be used, and not some MDM/onboarding solution.
