Efficient communication and navigation are critical for determining the efficacy,
safety, and overall well-being of academic contexts. The importance of effective
communication, which extends from educational settings to professional contexts,
highlights its important role, whereas navigation stands out as a key predictor of
safety and welfare. Navigating a college or university campus with inaccurately
designed or outdated maps and signs can lead to confusion and frustration. The
proposed innovation brings a Kiosk Machine to the campus of Technological
University of the Philippines in Manila, providing a self-service solution. This kiosk
provides users with a campus map and instructions to various buildings, departments,
and faculty offices located throughout the university. It also distributes information on
campus events, news updates, enrollment procedures, dropping subjects, and other
school services. The kiosk's development requires strong programming skills, while
its construction uses Sintra Board, a recognized standard material for kiosk
enclosures. The kiosk, which is designed to manage a high volume of inquiries each
day, significantly enhances campus accessibility and information distribution. The
prototype was evaluated by 25 respondents, including TUP students and specialists.
The assessment criteria included functional suitability, usability, reliability,
performance efficiency, and maintainability, resulting in an overall mean value of
3.89, indicating "Excellent". These data imply that the prototype has the potential to
improve campus efficiency and provide an organized approach to addressing student
and guest inquiries.
