It was difficult for teachers to send materials through email. To overcome this issue created an LMS, based on Moodle platform, the SIS e-learning portal (www.sisdoha.com/learning), through which every student was given a login and they all could access materials without earlier issues with emails. SIS students and any students can access their course contents, assignments, notes, etc. The SIS e-learning portal is an effective tool for flipping lessons and online assessments.

For teachers continued professional development another portal was created with Moodle, the SIS e-training portal (www.sisqatar.com/sislearn). It is a complete solution for online teacher training.

To make our ICT teaching more beneficial for our students, he initiated the SIS ICT curriculum (www.sisqatar.com/ict), which is designed to promote creativity, problem-solving, and introduce students to the world of information and communication technologies. Every student is now able to learn as per their area of interest and learn other minimum essential ICT skills through the programs. The curriculum focuses on training the student to work with a variety of resources; and making safe, productive, ethical, and legal use of these resources a habit.

He uses Mimosa Scheduling Software, it helps to create a schedule that will maximize instructional time, provide time to meet the needs of the students, provide time for teachers to meet and plan, and organize various curricular and co-curricular activities of the school.

As per the policies of the school, printing annual magazines with lots of advertisements from outside was not permitted. To overcome this, he created SIS Digital Magazine (www.magazine.sisdoha.com). It is developed for students’ creative expressions. Children now get more opportunities to express their creativity. A healthy competition among students and a lot of collaborative efforts can improve the quality of their creative expression. Students can easily share their works with friends and family now their creativity has a wide range of audiences.

The YouTube Channel ‘SIS Talents ‘(www.youtube.com/c/SISTalents) is a platform for students to showcase their talents. SIS Talents aims to kindle and celebrate students’ ideas, potential, and creativity.
