May 30, 2015
Welcome!
Welcome to our rst user group conference in Mumbai! A special thanks goes to cole Mondiale World
School for graciously hosting this event. As we look back on the last eight years, we celebrate the
schools and coordinators who challenged us to evolve beyond CAS Manager in 2007 and serve the full
IB continuum for curriculum planning, assessment and reporting.
Today we are thrilled to work with over 1,600 schools in 120+ countries, and our users continue to
challenge and impress us every day. From the leadership teams creating school workows, to the
technology integration coordinators who train teachers, students, and sta, to the academic directors
who alert us to new curriculum changes, to the principals who produce report cards more varied and
beautiful than we imagined, to everyone who sends us feature requests and suggestions - we remain
grateful to all of you.
Thanks for your patience and faith in us. This conference is for you.
Best Regards,
RVenus Lai

Welcoming Remarks

RVenus Lai
Regional Director, Asia-Pacific
In 2015, ManageBac celebrated its eighth year of operation. We owe you our sincere thanks, and we look forward
to many more years of working closely with our schools. Welcome to our first user group conference in Mumbai!
9:15 AM - 9:45 AM
Philip Hudson
Principal
A little song I know and love to inject into conversation about education says, Its not what you do, its the way that
you do it; and thats what gets results.
All very good; but as the Head of a school, I am constantly preoccupied by the thought that we may not be getting
either right. The what that we provide through content and subject choices may not necessarily be the what that
our students need (or want). And the how that leaders, teachers, parents, governing bodies and politicians all see
as developing positive and responsible citizens is really not doing that at all. So what should students be learning
and how should they be learning it?
9:45 AM - 10:30 AM
Farah Misquitta
Technology Coordinator
In this session, Farah will share the story of how ManageBac has been implemented at cole Mondiale World
School, as well as an overview of other technologies; featuring classroom management, the Personal Project, CAS,
and reporting. In addition, she will showcase training videos, testimonies, feature requests and feedback from
teachers, students and parents.
11:00 AM - 11:15 AM
RVenus Lai
Regional Director, Asia-Pacific
In 2015, we will be introducing ManageBac on Rails 4, which is a complete re-architecture that will provide:
Modern and responsive user interface design that will support web and mobile access via your phone & tablet.
Real-time and collaborative curriculum planning with an accordion-style unit plan editor.
Support for IBCC.
French and Spanish language support.
We are also committed to:
Continuing our work with admissions offices through OpenApply,
Improving international school management with our recent partnership with iSAMS,
Offering single-sign-on integration with FinalSite, and
Delivering an e-submission platform for IB World Schools.
Together we remain inspired and excited to fulfill our original promise:
To ensure that IB World Schools have a state-of-the-art technology infrastructure.

11:15 AM - 12:15 PM
Lance King
Founder of The Art of Learning
When all the information in the world is available at the fingertips of every student then the key skills needed for
success both academically and in the world of business and enterprise will be the skills of the self-regulated learner.
At that point the development of self-regulated (self-managed, self-directed, independent, autonomous) learners
will become the primary focus of schooling which will require all forms of transmission teaching to be replaced by
process oriented, skills based, teaching. The ATL Skills programme at both the MYP and DP levels has been designed
with this idea in mind because this is not the future, this is now.
This presentation will focus on how the successful design and implementation of an ATL Skills programme in any
school could revolutionise teaching and learning, improve academic success rates and give all students the skills
they need to create success for themselves in the 21st Century.
