Technical experts from Bahwan CyberTek gave a proposal to IbriCT on the use of their software 'DropThought' to help the College improve its process of conducting surveys or capturing any feedback.
QAD arranged a meeting with the experts from Bahwan CyberTek on Tuesday, 22 October 2019 at the VIP Room to orient the staff about this software. Dr Hamdan Al Manthari, College Dean and QAD Chair, Mr Rashid Al-Hinai, ADAFA; Ms Heba Qureshi, QAD Head; Mr Omar Al-Balushi, Business Studies Department Head; Mr Abdullah Al-Shukeily, ETC Head; Mr Nasser Al-Shammakhi, Engineering Department Head; Ms Moza Al-Balushi, Registration Department Head; Dr Maryam Al-Ghafri, ELC HoS; Dr Sultan Al-Ghafri, ELC HoS; Research Team; Self-appraisal Technical Team and QAD Officers attended.
Mr Rashid Al-Hinai, ADAFA, welcomed Mr Tahir and Mr Satya, the Bahwan CyberTek delegates.
Mr Tahir started his presentation by describing the DropThought key features, such as any-channel feedback collection across touch points, text analytics, easy and instant identification of what is working and what is not and its way of enhancing every aspect of the classroom. Moreover, he enumerated what sets DropThought apart, reasons why students love it and their experience journey.
Dr Hamdan Al-Manthari requested the staff to see its features and check if it fits what the College requires.
Ms Heba Qureshi, QAD Head, thanked the Bahwan CyberTek delegates for orienting the college regarding the software.
Dr Abdulsalam Al-Manthari, QAD Officer, asked the attendees to answer survey questions regarding the software through Mentimeter. The results show that speakers are good at explaining the features of the software, but staff need to understand better how the software could address college survey and data collection needs.
On 26 October 2019, the College decided not to use the DropThought software presented and suggested by Bahwan Cybertek, but instead to develop its own software on Staff Development Management System.
