Lebanese University will introduce Skoolee Tools school management software in its Faculty of Pedagogy program in Beirut, Lebanon, starting Spring 2010 semester.
Graduate students in the ‘Technology in Higher Education’ course will be trained to fully use the software, a multilingual software and student information system (SIS) currently used by national and international schools in Lebanon, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
Mazen El-Khatib, Dean of the Faculty of Pedagogy, remarks, "We want to introduce Skoolee Tools, a school management software, to our curriculum so that future school directors graduating from the Lebanese University will have better understanding and knowhow in applying leading technologies in their domain." Dr. El Khatib adds that: “Skoolee Tools was chosen for its clarity, breadth and practicality.”
With Skoolee Tools, school administrators and staff can oversee and consolidate school activities and facilitate interaction among diverse school stakeholders, including school administrators, principals, teachers, students, and parents.
Basic academic tasks become more efficient with Skoolee Tools: scheduling of classes/courses, registration, monitoring student grades and performance, providing online assignments and exams, and more.
"Pedagogy is an integral part of our mission," says Ghassan Abboud, Managing Director of White Mountain Technologies, developer of Skoolee Tools. “As students-turned-school directors become more exposed to technology, together we will be able to generate better ways of tailoring software, which can lead to more efficiency and outreach in running our educational institutions across the Middle East.”

Dar Jana to Simplify School Scheduling with Skoolee Tools
17 February 2010. Dar Jana International School (DJIS) of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia has chosen Skoolee Tools student information system (SIS) to effectively manage its scheduling requirements. The CITA-accredited school educates over 2500 students in two divisions at pre-school, lower, middle, and upper school levels.
Fahim Ataya, Principal of Dar Jana Boys Division, explains: "In general, generating school timetables and schedules has been problematic for us. Accordingly, we looked for a suitable scheduling software and decided to implement Skoolee Scheduler."
School administrators and staff use Skoolee Tools to schedule courses and classrooms, and to manage all school activities, such as registration, student and staff performance. The software also facilitates interaction with all stakeholders, from administrators, principals, and teachers within the school to students and their parents.
Developed by White Mountain Technologies, Skoolee Tools can be used by schools with national diploma programs, American High School Diploma and other international programs.
“Dar Jana wanted to implement one module at a time, starting with their greatest pain point: changing teachers after schedules have been completed,” describes Michael Zakharia, Director of Production at White Mountain Technologies. “With Skoolee Tools, replacing one teacher with another in a schedule is seamlessly simple; the system handles the ripple effect throughout.”
Once the Scheduler Module is successfully implemented, Dar Jana International School and White Mountain Technologies will work together to prioritize and deploy the remaining Skoolee Tools modules.

Hariri High School II Selects Skoolee Tools School Management Software
News home: http://news.whitemountaintechnologies.com
18 January 2010-Hariri High School II (HHS2) in Beirut, Lebanon has selected Skoolee Tools student information system (SIS) and school management software, as part of its strategy to improve communication between school, parents and students and to boost its technology base.
Hariri High School II is a private, co-educational English language school established in 1986 and supervised by the Directorate of Education of Rafic Hariri Foundation. The school’s 1200 students attend classes from Nursery to Grade 12.
"We have explored several school software products in the market and decided on Skoolee Tools", says Mrs. Basima Baasiri, Principal of Hariri High School II. "Skoolee Tools is well-defined and addresses our school’s requirements. We hope it will facilitate how we manage the school and communicate both internally and externally."
Developed by White Mountain Technologies, Skoolee Tools can be used with National education curricula, as well as American High School Diploma and other international education systems. School administrators and staff can oversee and consolidate school activities and facilitate interaction among diverse school stakeholders, including school administrators, principals, teachers, students, and parents.
Skoolee Tools further makes basic academic tasks more efficient: scheduling of classes/courses, registration, monitoring student grades and performance, providing online assignments and exams, and more.
"We have defined Skoolee to undertake schools' needs in the region," explains Michael Zakharia, Director of Production at White Mountain Technologies. "We listen to their needs and pain points and address them accordingly. It does not serve them at all to impose the needs of others on to them, but they could gain from best practices implemented by Skoolee Tools."

Beirut Arab University Increases Space Optimization by 30%
News home: http://news.whitemountaintechnologies.com/
30 October 2009 – Beirut Arab University (BAU) has successfully allocated 90% of its classroom space for the Fall 2009 semester, after implementing UniversiTools scheduling solutions.
In the past, BAU faced serious scheduling conflicts at the beginning of each semester, which led to under-utilization of campus facilities. At any one time, only up to 60% of classroom and teaching laboratories were used.
In August, BAU integrated UniversiTools Classroom Scheduler and Alternative Scheduler (Common Time Locator) developed by White Mountain Technologies. The university, established in Beirut since 1960, has 15,000 students enrolled in over 300 academic programs across campuses in Lebanon and is affiliated with Alexandria University in Egypt.
According to Dr. Walid Shatila, BAU I.T. Director and Professor, “Assigning courses to classrooms used to be a two-week process that dragged into the first week of a semester. For the fall semester, we scheduled courses in a matter of hours.”
“We effectively freed 30% of our classrooms and laboratories, which had been frozen due to space allocation conflict,” explains Dr. Shatila. “We’re able to offer more courses, and the return on investment is here and now.”
With UniversiTools, BAU centralized scheduling for the first time, with the option that Faculties can allocate classrooms for their courses.
If changes to classroom schedules must be made after allocation, BAU simply selects a classroom and clicks to view all available classrooms with no conflict for professors, students or location. Previously, once a classroom had been scheduled, the decision to change course location required a hectic return to the design board.
For Ghassan Abboud, Managing Director of White Mountain Technologies, space is a campus resource that should be productively used to advance the strategic goals of a university.
Abboud explains, “The practical results that universities get with UniversiTools can be used to maximize schedule courses during non-peak times and to realize energy savings. Administrators can monitor the quality of their facilities, determine furnishing needs, and better coordinate between units responsible for maintaining and upgrading a campus.”
In addition to classroom and alternative scheduling, UniversiTools scheduling solution includes Course Scheduler and Exam Scheduler modules. The scheduling suite works alongside large scale campus solutions, such as Banner and CampusVue, as well as with UniversiTools process-based student information system (SIS).
UniversiTools software caters to multilingual universities. Members of the UniversiTools user community in the Middle East include such universities as American University of Beirut (AUB) in Lebanon, American University in Dubai (AUD) and American University of Ras Al Khaimah (AURAK) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
