Faculty achievements amplifier platform: A data-secure solution for enhancing faculty recognition within higher education institutions

Recognizing faculty achievements in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) fosters an environment of innovation and excellence. This study focuses on developing the Faculty Achievements Amplifier Platform for State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) in the Philippines, emphasizing data security and user-friendly design to promote faculty recognition and collaboration. The study employed a developmental research methodology to design and develop the platform. It then utilized a descriptive research approach to assess its adherence to ISO/IEC 25010 standards and evaluate its acceptability based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model. Findings indicate the platform’s strong adherence to ISO standards, demonstrating high software quality and meeting user expectations. It also received positive acceptance across UTAUT constructs, suggesting its effectiveness in enhancing faculty recognition and collaboration. The study concludes that the platform meets high-quality standards and enjoys broad user acceptability. Recommendations include regular updates based on user feedback and integrating advanced features to support academic innovation and recognition further. This study highlights the transformative potential of secure, user-friendly digital platforms in educational settings.
