Digital Notice Board in Colleges and Schools by Implementing IoT with Audio Alert System

Abstract

This project develops a smart digital notice board system for educational institutions, integrating the Internet of Things (IoT) with an audio alert system. The system aims to improve communication efficiency by replacing traditional notice boards with a dynamic, digitally updated platform accessible remotely. The project utilizes an IoT network to transmit and display information on a digital screen, incorporating an audio alert for urgent announcements. The implemented system significantly enhances information dissemination and accessibility, reducing reliance on outdated physical notice boards and improving communication efficiency within the educational environment. This leads to increased awareness of important announcements and events, ultimately benefiting students, faculty, and staff.

Introduction

Traditional notice boards in educational institutions often suffer from limitations such as limited space, infrequent updates, and lack of accessibility for individuals with visual impairments. This leads to missed information and inefficiencies in communication. The rising adoption of IoT technologies presents an opportunity to develop a more efficient and accessible information dissemination system. A smart digital notice board, integrated with an audio alert system, offers a solution to these challenges by providing a dynamic, updatable platform with enhanced accessibility features, addressing the gap in effective and inclusive communication within the institution. This system will address accessibility for visually impaired individuals and those with limited mobility.
