At the British International School Abu Dhabi (BISAD), teachers have significantly reduced their workloads and improved student engagement by implementing Qridi, a cutting-edge learning management system (LMS) from Finland. This innovative digital solution supports formative assessment through self, peer, and parent assessments, tracks transversal competencies, and offers extensive data analytics of the learning process.
Transforming Learning Portfolios for Schools
With Qridi, BISAD has transitioned from paper-based documentation to a polished digital environment, creating comprehensive learning portfolios for schools. Students actively collect projects and achievements in various categories such as service, leadership, and academics. These projects are documented through photos, videos, text, or files, and reflect on personal characteristics such as being a Thinker, Risk-taker, Reflective, Principled, and Open-Minded.
Leveraging Digital Tools for Informal Learning
Qridi enhances informal learning by allowing students to engage in activities beyond the curriculum, promoting a holistic learning experience. The BISAD Diploma digital solution, co-developed with Qridi, ensures that students are involved in a wide range of activities, fostering growth in both academic and personal development.
Effective Progress Monitoring and Learner Profile Assessment
Qridi's learning management system offers robust progress monitoring capabilities. Teachers can oversee the students' diploma process, review projects, make assessments, and provide feedback. The integration with iSAMS data storage allows seamless login for students and teachers using O365 accounts. This system also supports learner profile assessment, enabling a clear view of student development and achievement.
Accessible and Customizable Learning Apps
Students can access their diplomas via a mobile or web learning app, with categories displayed as cards. This continuous progress reporting helps students and teachers stay informed about the learning journey. The Qridi LMS interface is customized and branded specifically for BISAD, ensuring a personalized experience for the school community.
Recognizing Student Achievements with Digital and Print Diplomas
Students rank their performance at bronze, silver, or gold levels. Teachers then review and approve or adjust these assessments. Upon completion, Qridi automatically generates a beautiful paper diploma with the student's information and achievement level, ready for homeroom teachers to print and distribute.
A Tailored Educational Technology Solution
Qridi’s software service is designed to meet the unique needs of each customer. This customization extends to creating a white label app that looks and feels like the school’s own service, further enhancing the user experience.
By integrating Qridi into their educational practices, BISAD has effectively utilized sophisticated digital tools to support both teaching and learning, transforming the way students and teachers engage with the learning process. If you're considering a comprehensive solution for learning portfolios, progress monitoring, and informal learning, Qridi might be the innovative tool your school needs.
