For years, communicating vital information and announcements to the student has been a major problem faced by most faculties in Aparri School of Arts and Trades. Many approaches have been used previously but still messages were not delivered effectively and efficiently to students due to various reasons. As a result, students are unaware of essential messages especially last-minute updates causing inconveniences and perhaps causing students to miss out golden opportunities for their career or study life. The major reason students are not likely to view these announcements published in most media is due to attractiveness. The announcements are poorly organized and categorized leading to students having difficulties in finding important messages or alerts only related to them.
Besides, the formality of some channels also caused the use of unattractive fonts, colors and less multimedia elements thus, decreasing student’s loyalty to assess to these announcements regularly. Plus, notifications of announcement updates are also not acknowledged by students effectively. In other words, students will most likely be unaware of newly posted announcements or bulletins unless being notified by friends, lecturers or any other coincidental situation. Announcements posted in the existing approaches also do not promote interactivity. For instance, students could not make any enquiries, comments or suggestions for any announcements posted in the Intranet or the official website. Hence, the students’ doubts or confusion could not be cleared on the spot leading them to be uninterested of getting details of the particular announcement. Even approaches such as Facebook and Twitter provide a platform for interactivity, many third parties are involved, causing a high probability for the announcement posted to lose its credibility and accuracy. Certain tasks such as editing personal details also cause a hassle for students as they need to travel back and forth to the faculty to complete them. With the existence of an Announcement Portal specially tailored for student use, the stated tasks could most probably be performed in a timelier manner. Plus, usage of unnecessary forms could be reduced promoting an environmental-friendly culture.
