This study aimed to create and assess a holistic, online Interactive Information Kiosk featuring Data Visualization and Geolocation for the Davao Del Norte Division of the Department of Education (DepEd). The initiative addresses the chronic information shortage and the slow data-gathering process between the Division and its stakeholders to support educational governance and operational efficiency. The project was executed applying the Agile Methodology and involved continuous communication with the Planning Office and IT staff throughout the whole process to obtain highly tailored and locally relevant results. School data, including performance indicators, facility inventories and staff information, can be easily and comprehensively uploaded and maintained by the planning officers assigned. The system offers a number of advanced functionalities, including the dynamic data visualization of education metrics, geolocation features powered by the Google Maps API for accurate school mapping, instant weather updates, and performing high-level predictive analysis based on the AAA Exponential Smoothing model to predict future performance indicators. The system was also thoroughly evaluated according to the ISO 25010 Software Quality Framework, a globally recognized standard for software quality assessment. Evaluation by internal users produced an exceptional overall Grand Average Weighted Mean (GAWM) of 4.98 out of 5.00, thereby confirming the system`s excellent quality across functional suitability, usability, and security. The findings very strongly suggest the system’s ability to not only rectify the information shortage but also to propel data-driven decision-making in educational administration and to set a good example of ICT-based educational governance modernization.
