GOTAFE is the largest vocational education provider in regional Victoria, with a focus on building a better community by inspiring people to succeed.

GOTAFE is a leading vocational education and training institute based in Victoria, Australia, that required a comprehensive digital wayfinding solution to improve the campus experience for students, staff, and visitors across three of their main campuses.

The main objective of this project was to provide seamless navigation, search functionality for departments and meeting rooms, and easy access to amenities while integrating the institute’s website news and events information. Our team at Advertise Me was honoured to work with GOTAFE and deliver a state-of-the-art digital wayfinding solution customised to meet their unique requirements.

The key features of the Digital Wayfinding Solution

Guided Navigation: Our digital wayfinding solution seamlessly guides visitors, students, and staff to their desired destinations within the campuses. Through an intuitive user interface, users can easily input their desired location and receive step-by-step directions, ensuring a hassle-free journey across the vast campuses.

Department and Meeting Room Search: Our solution is designed to help people easily navigate through campus. It comes with a powerful search function that allows users to quickly find specific departments and meeting rooms by entering relevant keywords or department names. Once the user finds the location, they can access detailed information and directions on how to get there.

Highlighted Amenities: We understand that convenience is key in a campus environment. That’s why our digital wayfinding solution includes highlighted markers for essential amenities such as lunch rooms, toilets, lifts, meeting rooms, and exits/stairs. These markers make it easy for users to locate and navigate to these facilities.

Mobile Integration via QR Code: Since mobile devices are so prevalent these days, we’ve implemented a QR code scanning feature. Users can simply scan a QR code displayed within the campus premises to instantly access the route to their intended destination on their mobile devices. The integration of the digital wayfinding solution with GOTAFE’s website enhances user engagement and simplifies navigation.

The news and events information on the website is integrated into the wayfinding system to create a cohesive experience. This allows users to stay informed of the latest happenings, important announcements, and upcoming events, providing a unified and informative campus experience.

To ensure inclusivity and accessibility for individuals who prefer or require information in their native languages, instructional languages in Swahili, Arabic, Hazaragi, and Hindi were implemented. This feature recognizes the diverse community at GOTAFE and accommodates a broader user base.

Our team collaborated closely with GOTAFE to implement a state-of-the-art digital wayfinding solution for their main campuses in Shepparton, Wangaratta, and Seymour. The solution is designed with user-friendly navigation, extensive search capability, highlighted facilities, mobile and website integration, and language support to offer an improved and effective campus experience for everyone, including visitors, students, and staff.

Our collaboration with GOTAFE demonstrates our dedication to delivering customised and creative solutions that cater to the specific needs of our clients in the education industry.
