The Internet of Things (IoT) technology has introduced transformative shifts across various sectors, including academia. By integrating IoT devices with a user-friendly web interface, higher education institutions can address the challenge of lecturer availability. The Synced Information on Lecturer Availability (SILA) notification system aims to enhance facilitator accessibility in academia. Utilizing ESP32 development boards, this system allows lecturers to update and broadcast their availability status in real-time, providing students with seamless access to this information. The system undergoes thorough testing for usefulness, user satisfaction, and usability. Ultimately, the SILA project significantly enhances communication, accessibility, and operational efficiency in educational settings.
