Digital education... linking classrooms and technology
In recent decades, the world has witnessed a sweeping digital transformation, driven by rapid advances in modern technology - particularly in artificial intelligence and its myriad applications. This shift has fuelled a global race to invest in digital infrastructure, especially within education, learning, and scientific research. Modern technologies are now pivotal in reshaping educational knowledge, refining pedagogical skills, and redefining the philosophy of learning systems to prepare for a future deeply embedded in the digital age. Modern societies have increasingly studied the impact of digital transformation on education and how it can redefine learning environments and raise standards. The potential of the digital revolution lies in its ability to improve teaching methods and educational access while embedding learning within the broader framework of a knowledge-based society. In this light, the link between technology and education is not optional - it is a developmental necessity for nations seeking to remain relevant in a rapidly evolving world. Educational systems are the starting point for any meaningful transformation. They equip societies with the human capital needed for innovation, creativity, and progress. Smart learning environments help cultivate mental and emotional readiness, promote critical and adaptive thinking, and support self-directed learning and collaborative engagement. Governments have embraced digital learning models such as e-learning and remote education, harnessing the benefits of educational apps and platforms to maintain continuity - especially during school closures prompted by environmental or health crises. Oman has been proactive in this regard, aiming to modernise its educational system by embracing multi-modal instruction and striving toward what is now widely referred to as digital learning. The recent launch of Oman's 'Curriculum Digitisation Project' for grades 1 to 12, in partnership with BP Oman, marks a major stride in this direction. The initiative represents a significant push toward digital transformation in education, providing interactive smart environments that support remote learning, improve educational outcomes, and broaden access to knowledge. This project does more than digitise teaching materials; it establishes a virtual learning environment capable of redefining the educational process. Expanding the classroom beyond physical walls fosters independent learning, stimulates curiosity and promotes student agency. Through interactive and engaging tools, it transforms how students absorb and interact with content. Structured across six phases, the project supports knowledge transfer and cultivates future-ready skills such as creativity and critical thinking. It is not just about the content of the curriculum, but about building a digital learning culture that makes knowledge accessible, flexible, and personalised. The platform offers curriculum-aligned digital materials, educational resources, a digital repository, and activities for teachers - providing both direct and indirect access to digital learning. The project supports a blended model of teaching, combining traditional classroom approaches with digital interaction, using modern tools that align with current technological developments. This dual approach enhances the delivery of content and broadens learning opportunities. Digital content today is more than just curriculum - it includes educational platforms, interactive resources, games, and support tools. While the digitised curriculum forms a strong foundation, the system still requires expansion to incorporate wider learning tools, more diverse content, and richer student engagement. An effective digital environment depends on hyperlinked features that allow flexible navigation, real-time feedback, and immersive learning experiences. These tools reinforce curricular goals, foster creativity and innovation, and stimulate higher-order thinking. Especially for early learners, they can guide knowledge acquisition while reflecting on the values and concepts society seeks to impart. The project also lays the groundwork for future development. With the right investment, it can evolve into a fully immersive digital space that engages students across regions. To succeed, however, schools need reliable Internet infrastructure. This remains a challenge in remote areas of Oman, where weak connectivity limits the reach of digital learning tools and, by extension, the equity of access. Digital education relies on two key pillars: relevant and responsive content, and robust technical infrastructure. Success demands collaboration, integration, and support to ensure the full benefits of digitising curricula are realised. Such transformation not only serves the goals of education but also bolsters national development across all sectors.

‘Muharrik' platform to drive digital education
MUSCAT: The 'Muharrik' platform represents an entrepreneurial initiative that leverages augmented reality (AR) technologies for digital learning, offering innovative educational solutions based on interactive 3D models that have significantly improved students' academic performance. Ziyad bin Salim al Hinai said that the idea for the platform emerged during his studies in the United States, where he faced several academic and personal challenges. However, these challenges helped refine his entrepreneurial skills and avoid future mistakes. He noted that the platform originated from a personal desire to enhance digital learning tools and provide an engaging educational environment. He added that this challenge motivated him to seek innovative educational solutions, ultimately leading to the adoption of augmented reality technology. AR enables the transformation of abstract information into interactive 3D models, simplifying comprehension and stimulating learning. Al Hinai explained that AR technology allows complex concepts to be presented in a visual, three-dimensional format, accelerating understanding and retention. The platform has expanded its use of AR into other fields, such as museums, engineering and healthcare, collaborating with international companies to train medical personnel. He pointed out that the platform's trials have demonstrated a tangible impact on improving education. An experiment involving early-grade students using fourth-grade tailored content showed a 54-per cent improvement in academic achievement, confirming the technology's effectiveness in simplifying scientific concepts and making them more engaging. Al Hinai emphasised that the support provided by Oman Technology Fund was pivotal, not only financially but also through training workshops and knowledge mentoring, which enhanced the team's entrepreneurial capabilities and helped turn the idea into a viable and sustainable project. He added that 'Muharrik' is currently finalising a direct partnership with the Ministry of Education to promote the use of AR technology in schools. The platform also aims to expand into Arab and global markets by exporting digital educational content rather than importing it. Notably, the platform has received international awards and recognition from the Unicef and the Generation Unlimited initiative, marking a turning point in the company's trajectory and boosting the team's confidence to grow further. This recognition also helped attract its first investor, the Oman Technology Fund. - ONA

Digitalisation of curricula to empower teachers
The Ministry of Education, represented by the Directorate-General of Curriculum Development, and in cooperation with BP Oman, launched the Digitalisation of School Curricula Project for Grades 1–12. The event was held under the auspices of Eng Said bin Hamoud al Maawali, Minister of Transport, Communications and Information Technology, and was attended by Dr Madeeha bint Ahmed al Shaibaniyah, Minister of Education. In his speech, Dr Abdullah bin Khamis Ambusaidi, Under-Secretary of the Ministry of Education for Education, emphasised the unprecedented opportunities brought about by digital technologies to enhance the quality of education. 'Education is no longer confined within the four walls of the classroom. It has become a vast space that transcends geographic boundaries and provides both students and teachers access to rich and diverse learning resources.' He said that the project directly empowers teachers with modern educational tools to deliver content more effectively and creatively while offering students a flexible and comprehensive learning experience that aligns with their individual needs and abilities. He added by saying that the project is an integral part of a broader vision for digital transformation in education, laying the foundation for a technology-based, future-oriented learning ecosystem. Yousuf bin Mohammed al Ojaili, President of BP Oman, expressed the company's pride in partnering with the Ministry of Education, stating that the initiative aims to empower teachers and enrich students' learning experiences through greater interactivity. He emphasised that the collaboration highlights the vital role of public-private partnerships in driving innovation and leaving a sustainable impact on education in Oman. The event featured a visit to a model interactive classroom, where a group of teachers and students presented sample lessons using digital textbooks and interactive screens. A short documentary on the project's development journey was also shown, followed by the official digital book launch and the honouring of BP Oman as the project's main sponsor. The digitisation process went through several key stages, beginning with the preparatory phase, which involved defining the technical and educational specifications for the digital content. This was followed by content analysis, scenario development, and quality review. Each digital book required up to 80 hours of review, totalling more than 4,800 hours for 60 books. A trial phase was then conducted in selected schools to gather feedback and refine the content. The final stage involves publishing the digital books through the ministry's Educational Technologies Portal and later via the Noor platform's digital repository, in line with broader national digital transformation projects. Media campaigns will also accompany the rollout to raise awareness. Dr Mona al Siyabi, Head of the Technical and Scientific Team for Digitising the English Language, said: 'In line with Oman Vision 2040, we have launched the first phase of developing digital interactive books for Omani schools. This phase focuses on transforming traditional textbooks into engaging digital formats for the early grades. "These new digital books are rich with interactive features, including games, activities and videos, designed to enhance the learning experience for students and support teachers in the classroom. They also serve as a helpful resource for parents at home. We aim to expand this effort to cover grades 5 through 12 in the upcoming stages." Currently, these interactive books are being piloted in selected schools, and we are collecting feedback from teachers and students to evaluate their experience and identify areas for improvement. The ministry aims to develop and transform traditional curricula into interactive digital content within the national educational platform. The project seeks to offer a variety of digital resources for different learning styles, support distance education using information and communication technology, foster self-learning and collaborative learning and equip students with future-ready skills. Ultimately, it aims to improve the quality of education, enhance student performance and provide accessible and effective digital learning tools. The project comprises 6 phases... the preparatory phase, the analysis phase, the educational scenario preparation phase, the digital production phase, a pilot phase and the digital book propagation phase (giving access to digital content via the e-learning portal and later via the Noor system).
