DIGITAL BULLETIN BOARD USING RASPBERRY PI TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

In a school community or any organization, communication plays a vital role in keeping a good relationship among its members. Communication, in any form, makes dissemination of information possible. Dissemination of information is a means of communicating messages or information to make it known to a specific group of people or to public. Communication has evolved while coping up with the changes and advancement in technology, from posters, print ads and other circulatory articles up to the recent multimedia advertisements and public notices being shown in televisions and the World Wide Web. In educational institutions, apart from school publications like newspapers or print ads and other circulatory articles, bulletin boards have been used as a medium in disseminating information. For most schools, bulletin boards are often used in communicating notices and information but it was found out that some problems exist in using those bulletin boards. This paper applies the concepts of Digital Signage and Web Technology to improve the current bulletin board system as well as to address the problems relating to the current bulletin board. “Digital Bulletin Board using Raspberry Pi Technology” focused on creating a device that would help the school community to play videos, create a picture slideshow, post announcement for the dissemination of information that print ads are limited to do.
