On Monday, 7 September 2015, Cyryx College’s Dean Emily Young facilitated the first session of an in-house training program titled Academic Enhancement: Professional Development Series. The three-session series will cover topics ranging from theory to practical application within the context of the Maldivian school system.

 

As part of the institution’s commitment to quality assurance, Dean Young has spent several months observing and evaluating lectures from across the disciplines. Based on these observations, the training series was developed to answer the specific needs of Cyryx College lecturers, students, and curriculum design.

 

Though the training’s primary audience was initially Cyryx College lecturers, local secondary and higher secondary schools were also questioned about the need for pedagogical training. The response was clear; educators throughout Male’ were eager to attend.

 

As honored guests, representatives from the Centre for Higher Secondary Education (CHSE), Ahmadiyya International School, and Hiriya School joined Cyryx College lecturers for a morning of valuable training, teambuilding, and inspiration. To commemorate their dedication to academic enhancement and educational leadership, participants will receive a certificate of completion for this professional development accomplishment.

 

At the session’s conclusion, Dean Young noted: “We must remember why we chose to be educators—to educate! It is our responsibility, our privilege, to make learning active and engaging for students; students should be part of the learning process rather than sedentary note takers listening to 90 minute lectures. My hope is that today’s participants will use the knowledge gained here to revamp and refresh their classrooms.”

 

A software solution to monitor remote sites, designed and developed by two students from Cyryx College, has been awarded second place (no first place was announced) in the category of phone applications in Expo Maldives 2015. The application was developed by Ahmed Ali and Abdul Latheef Abdul Razzaq as part of their final year project for Bachelor of Information Technology, majoring in Software Design and Development at Cyryx College.

The Intelligent Remote Site Monitoring System (IRSMS) is designed to provide real-time information and deliver notification on fire, environmental conditions, power availability, and unauthorized intrusions into remote facilities, via a mobile phone. This application is compatible with both IOS and android platforms. The solution developed by the students include software as well as hardware components. Many visitors to the Expo expressed their interest to commercially utilize the application.

Cyryx College congratulates Ahmed and Abdul Latheef for their achievement and wishes them further success in their future endeavours.
