Previously, the only means of distributing information was through the university prospectus, telephone, notice boards, and administrative staff. As requests increased, so did response time. Replacing that slower, inadequate process are efficient, dynamic, easily accessible, and cost-effective touchscreen kiosks. The solution is a self-service system supplying information on academic activities such as lectures, examinations, admissions, directions, subjects, and professors. MicroTouch provided an interactive touchscreen solution using ThruGlass , a technology durable enough for high traffic public access environments.
Students can browse through a wealth of information at the touch of a finger.
There have been several benefits in adopting this new system, both to the students and the University. Also, the time and effort required to circulate news decreased freeing resources and using them more efficiently. This is of immense value to the University with the added benefit of securing a more modern image for itself. With the new system, staff members can enter information in a fraction of the time of the conventional method and update the networked system quickly and easily from a central location. The touchscreen applications are simple to use and designed to save time and resources.
