Amazing Features

DSMS has been developed to very high standards ensuring quality, efficiency and world class functionality having been subjected to international evaluation and standards. DSMS provides the best solution and platform to migrate to Digital Literacy from Early Childhood Development to University Education.
Parents and guardians play very important, key, and crucial roles in Education. They work hard to ensure that their children and learners get the best education possible within their means. The parents/guardians ensure the learners stay in schools by paying fees, reviewing performances, attending school whenever necessary. DSMS has created the Parents convenience by allowing everything about their children in school to be posted in the FREE PARENTS ACCOUNT PORTAL where all information is available to the parents. From the parent’s portal, they are also able to know fee structure, fee status and pay fees directly through their mobile phones and/or Bank accounts and receipts generated and posted to them immediately.
The Government has set aside Education support funds at various levels for different education purposes. Bursary applications have been faced with many challenges key among them that the Bursary forms are not available and are given to learners who know their leaders etc. The documentation and approval of applications also become a source of corruption in some cases. DSMS has incorporated a Bursary and Scholarship Management System covering the whole Country for County and Constituency Bursary Funds. The application, consideration, and disbursement shall be TRANSPARENT, ACCOUNTABLE AND FAIR.
A user friendly customized dashboard using illustrated cartoon icons to help the user with quick navigation makes DSMS very simple to use. Any person with little computer knowledge will find DSDS to be easiest system to use without any technical assistance. The Dashboard lists out the consolidated information of all the modules available in the system making management easy, fun and profitable.
As a system for management and Learning, the E-Learning portal allows users to upload digital content in videos, documents and audio. All courses and subjects in various categories and levels can be loaded by educators and learners and even content developers which are approved by the relevant regulatory institutions and thereafter published for public use. With the Covid 19 pandemic, personal learning and development has become the new normal. DSMS is the perfect choice for home schooling and personal development
The E-Classroom module is a powerful online learning platform which allows educators to give students assignments, homework and even exams in the form of Questions and answers, multiple choice and tasks with assignments.

Whiz Mail is our revolutionary communication system which is inbuilt in DSMS. Most online learning platforms rely on external e-mails to communicate and most times the sent e-mails are sent to the junk folders and most e-mails are lost. Whiz mail is secure with a guarantee that all mails will reach the person intended for since it is an internal e-mail for DSMS users only.
Discussion topics are created to allow users to discuss various topic of their interests. The topics for discussion are created by users and posted for interested users to give comments and thereby providing a platform for real time suggestions and recommendations.

During online learning, it is important to form discussion groups and create the ability for learners to be formed in groups and given topics and tasks to achieve. Whiz Groups provides the unique platform for learners to break away and discuss in groups and report their work.
The DSMS Mobile App allows students to access the system using their mobile phone. The cost of Digital Literacy has been prohibitive with laptops or computers making it difficult for most parents and learners to access digital content.

Our Mobile app improves user engagement and satisfaction while keeping lines of communication with users open. The Mobile app provides a level of value to the user and the best thing about it is that it gives users the flexibility of convenience.
Special Needs education has not been given the full attention it deserves. This is the part of education which needs special attention and care. DSMS provides digital content for learning and training to assist in this critical area.
With the Covid 19 pandemic forcing learning institutions to close and suspend learning for a long period, disaster preparedness must include hybrid learning so that a Digital Migration is initiated through online learning. DSMS is ready to lead the process.
Revision is a way of staying alert and focused in education. This module provides learners with past papers. The informative exam management portal lets students at any level avoid struggling with a lot of books in study rooms and libraries for good performance.

Maintaining a positive relationship with an institution’s alumni means that the messages they share about the institution will also be positive – and current. The relationship between alumni and institutions stall when they leave campus, their knowledge of activities and achievements will no longer evolve. The messages they will share with people will be out-of-date and could reflect poorly on the progress the institution has since achieved.

A portal for Alumni is created where Alumni students register and can access current and permitted information.
