DIS Independent Learning Platform
The Rationale
Our DIS secondary school independent learning platform is designed to support and empower students in their academic journey. We understand that balancing schoolwork and extracurricular activities can be challenging, which is why we've created a platform that provides students with access to a wide range of resources to help them stay organised and on top of their studies.
Our platform features a library of previous years' papers, study guides, and interactive tutorials that are tailored to meet the needs of students. These resources are not only useful for completing home learning assignments, but also for preparing for exams and developing important skills.
One of the unique features of our platform is its focus on the International Baccalaureate (IB) learner attributes. The IB learner profile is a set of ten attributes that promote international-mindedness and a lifelong love of learning. Our platform is designed to help students develop these attributes by providing them with resources that encourage them to become:
Inquirers: We provide students with access to a wide range of information and resources that allow them to explore their interests and passions.
Knowledgeable: Our platform is filled with study guides and tutorials that can help students deepen their understanding of a variety of subjects.
Thinkers: We encourage students to think critically and creatively by providing them with resources that challenge their thinking and problem-solving skills.
Communicators: Our platform includes interactive tutorials and resources that help students develop their communication skills.
Principled: We emphasise the importance of integrity and ethical behavior in our platform, and provide resources that help students understand the importance of these values.
Open-minded: Our platform encourages students to explore different perspectives and cultures, and to be open to new ideas and ways of thinking.
Caring: We promote empathy and compassion in our platform, and provide resources that help students understand the importance of these values.
Risk-takers: We encourage students to take risks and try new things, and provide them with resources that help them develop their resilience and self-confidence.
Balanced: We emphasise the importance of balance in our platform, and provide resources that help students maintain a healthy balance between their academic and personal lives.
Reflective: Our platform encourages students to reflect on their learning and to take responsibility for their own education.
Our platform is user-friendly and easy to navigate, making it simple for students to find the resources they need when they need them. We believe that our platform can help students achieve academic success by providing them with the tools and resources they need to succeed.
