The name of our application, «Coursington», evokes a certain sophistication and well-defined structure, which aligns with the objectives of a quality institution like the ISMDC.
By combining the word «course» with the suffix «-ington», often linked to place names suggesting tradition and prestige (such as Kensington or Wellington), this name reflects an image of British reliability and excellence.
This resonates with the ISMDC’s reputation as the best school for facial reflexology - Dien Chan, assuring teachers and their students that they are entering a well-established, structured environment where their training is handled with professionalism.
The playful yet refined tone of «Coursington» also implies that the application is not only functional but user-friendly, making course management and student tracking smooth and intuitive, much like the learning journey of Dien Chan.
This name inspires trust while remaining accessible, striking a balance between professionalism and warmth—qualities essential for both teachers and students.
Based on an original idea by Patryck Aguilar-Cassarà, the «Coursington» application was designed to assist the instructors of the International School of Multireflexology — Dien Chan in managing their courses.
Entirely coded with FileMaker ProAdvanced, «Coursington» runs exclusively on iPads via FileMaker·Go.
Programming, graphics, and writing by Patryck Aguilar-Cassarà.
We would like to thank the trainers who tested the application and provided their valuable feedback.
