Group Exercise 1

For our idea we have chose to do a touchscreen help point for university students but with a few differences.

Research suggest that there is other kiosks out there in universities that offer things such as:

ColumbiaNet kiosk stations provide easy access to a wide variety of campus information, electronic mail, USB drive access, and access to the Internet. Placed in lobbies, libraries, and lounges across campus, they are accessible to anyone at Columbia.

However what we find that is different for this kiosk that we are creating is that it will offer the students more chances to have user interactivity with things such as: logging into registers, being able to reserve computers when they are free so that there is more of an equal chance of being able to get to use the software and the computer time.
