English term or phrase: leave employees to their own devices
Despite the deficiencies that Toomey describes, many consider the type of highly structured, live training that his team underwent to be the best kind of distance education. Other options include live Web lectures and go-at-your-own-pace tutorials. However, self-paced tutorials often leave employees to their own devices, and, without significant oversight, it can be very hard to measure results.
注:self-paced指学生自定进度的。

这里的DEVICE与PC无任何关系, leave somebody to his or her own devices原意是说让某人以自己的办法做,device也就是办法的意思。
