This encompasses management systems for student information, grades, and course materials, as well as collaborative platforms for teaching staff. The services also support digital education, self-directed learning, and the integration of technology into everyday teaching practices.

Key components of OIS include learning platforms, portal services, and digital resources. These may include learning management systems (LMS), shared repository services, and educational content from national and international sources. Educators can leverage these tools to create customized learning environments, enhance student engagement, and implement more adaptive teaching methods.

Moreover, OIS emphasize supporting teacher professional development and technology integration support by providing ongoing training, guidance, and technical assistance. This approach is designed to ensure that educators across the country have the necessary skills and confidence to effectively utilize the available digital tools and platforms.
