Distributing apps to students?

Hi,


Does anyone have experience of distributing apps to students as a lecturer or professor in higher education?


I am designing an app for university and would like to better understand the process of distributing apps outside of the app store. The app I'm making is for students of one university rather the world at large. All the students will have an email address connected to the university.


I have read https://developer.apple.com/support/university/ but it would be great to hear of anyone's real world experiences.


Thanks,


Chris
