Enhancing Educational Access through the Digitalization of Learning Resources: Insights from the CTU-Easy Access Center

The era of globalization has driven the evolution of education systems to align with contemporary advancements posing significant challenges for today’s generation. The proliferation of technology has shifted information storage toward digital platforms in contrast to past practices that relied heavily on physical resources like libraries and lecture halls. This reliance on digital information became particularly evident during the Covid-19 pandemic at the end of 2019 which disrupted national education systems. As a result, the delivery and acquisition of knowledge had to be conducted virtually. Without proper planning the information dissemination process can become challenging due to limitations in face-to-face interactions for imparting knowledge. This study builds on the increased reliance on digital platforms to propose a centralized system for academic resources. This study aims to develop a digital system for the CTU Easy Access Center designed to streamline access to academic resources for CTU courses. With the growing importance of digital transformation, traditional methods of resource dissemination face challenges related to efficiency and user experience. The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) framework was utilized to guide the development of the system. The findings demonstrate that the digital platform significantly improves the accessibility and efficiency of resource management for CTU courses, fostering enhanced engagement and trust among students and lecturers. Through this platform all course-related information can be accessed easily and quickly without requiring face-to-face meetings saving time for both students and lecturers.
