As a member of the SABIS® Network, SIS-Adma has a
long-standing commitment to research and development of new technologies
designed with the student in mind. As a result, our students have meaningful
experiences with modern, up-to-date methods and technologies used to improve
and enrich their day-to-day learning experience, enhance their academic performance,
and challenge the boundaries of traditional learning environments.
In the classroom, students learn dynamic content delivered through state-of-the-art
technology. Interactive smart TVs are used to put content into context and bring it
to life. Instruction is enhanced with digital features such as glossaries, videos,
and audio recordings that elaborate on the content and provide for differentiation
among our diverse learners. Students in Grade 2 onward use SABIS®
E-books to bring the content to life in a format that is light and accessible anywhere.
The Right Infrastructure at Our School
In order to move successfully from traditional classroom teaching to E-learning,
the right infrastructure has to be in place. That infrastructure includes a
systematic approach to teaching, instructional methodologies that empower students
to take an active role in the learning cycle and, of course, access to the technology
tools that can facilitate the entire process. These are all elements that
SABIS® has spent decades developing and can be found in our school.
The SABIS® Approach to Teaching
The SABIS® teaching methodology is a well-structured, systematic,
and efficient approach using the SABIS Point System®. In every
subject, in every level, SABIS® has precisely identified measurable
learning objectives, called “learning points.” During every class, teachers present
one “point” at a time, and then ask the class to demonstrate their understanding of
the concept, actively engaging students in a community of learners.
State-of-the-Art Education Technology
State-of-the-art technology already integrated into our classrooms complements the
teaching methodology allowing students to have the very best learning experience.
Technology tools currently used by our students and teachers include E-books,
interactive boards and accompanying lessons, an integrated learning system, as
well as an integrated testing and learning system.
Beyond the classroom, our students continue to benefit from technologies developed
by SABIS® that allows them access to a wealth of online learning tools
from the safety of their homes, which complement and reinforce what they have learned
in class.
The SABIS® Digital Platform
The SABIS® Digital Platform is also an essential element
of the infrastructure that facilitates a smooth transition to E-learning.
The SABIS® Digital Platform is a new generation, web-based
teaching and learning platform.
Students and parents are very familiar with the platform, accessing it for
multiple purposes such as to practice questions on unmastered learning points,
take sample quizzes to test their knowledge, watch On-Demand Tutoring videos,
download exam material and homework assignments, and receive important
communications from school, to name a few.
Together, these elements, already present as part of the learning experience
at SIS-Adma, make the move from a traditional classroom to a virtual one easy,
efficient, and effective, ensuring that student learning is uninterrupted at
all times.

A Standard SABIS® School Day Online
E-learning in SIS-Adma is available for all students from the youngest
preschoolers to the graduating seniors. Every morning, they log in to
the SABIS® Digital Platform from their tablets or computers
at home to check their daily and weekly plans, detailed schedules, and
download any assigned material.
In their daily routine, they attend a mix of classes, some that have
either been pre-recorded by their teachers and uploaded on to the
SABIS® Digital Platform, and some that are given in
a “virtual classroom” environment in real time. Virtual classes are
also recorded and uploaded on to the SABIS® Digital Platform,
which students can access to watch again should they need to.
To ensure that the learning is in fact taking place, students have
assigned homework and continue to take regular assessments to test their
understanding. While students are working, teachers receive data on their
progress and performance, and are able to follow-up with their students
accordingly.

E-Learning Success
The COVID-19 Experience
Despite the current pandemic and subsequent disruption, and regardless of

missing a beat. Thanks to highly developed E-learning solutions, a structured
and systematic approach, and incomparable learning habits, SABIS®
students have adapted rapidly to a changing world, and the learning has never stopped.
