Logic Communications Cayman has donated 12 apples to the University College of the Cayman Islands.

These apples, however, are specialized information technology equipment – Apple TV devices.

The 12 Apple TV devices will enable lecturers and students to wirelessly link their iPad tablets to overhead projectors during class presentations.

Officials from the local college said that the donation also marks a collaborative working relationship with Logic. This is aimed at strengthening the university’s use of technology in education as well as the IT programmes within UCCI and in its community educational programmes. Two of the devices were successfully used in classrooms during a pilot period earlier in the semester.

Thanking the company for its generosity, UCCI President Roy Bodden commended Logic’s spirit of corporate social responsibility: “The goodwill that your company is building through these donations will ultimately become an asset.”

Logic CEO Mike Edenholm handing over the Apple equipment on Monday (2) to Bodden said said, “Logic supports the work of UCCI and what they are doing in their classrooms to better equip their students and teachers with the resources needed to improve the educational experience. Logic is pleased to be a part of this initiative and wish UCCI the best.”

Both UCCI and Logic are in discussion on a longer-term relationship to expand the university’s IT programmess both within UCCI and in community educational programmes.

“Our aim is to revolutionize instructional delivery at UCCI, as well as to expand the borders of UCCI,” Mr. Bodden said. “Technology affords an opportunity to reach a much wider audience that need not necessarily travel to UCCI.”

“The expanding capability of technology presents many exciting opportunities for us and for the public,” he added.
