Inclusive Event Management System Integrated with Avika Bot and Gamification

Kartunet - Digital accessibility remains a major challenge for people with disabilities in Indonesia, especially when accessing online event or competition registration forms, which are often not screen-reader friendly. Addressing this challenge, Kartunet has officially launched its latest generation of the Inclusive Event Management System. This system is not just an ordinary registration platform; it's a complete ecosystem that combines the ease of web access with the practicality of the WhatsApp virtual assistant, Avika.

Background to Development

For years, many visually impaired individuals and other people with disabilities have struggled to participate in various capacity-building activities due to non-inclusive digital interfaces. Complex registration forms, confusing attendance systems, and image-based certificates without alternative text have often acted as barriers.

Driven by these concerns, Kartunet initiated a major architectural overhaul. Its primary vision is to create a single gateway for activity services—from webinars and workshops to national-scale competitions—that can be seamlessly accessed by anyone, whether through a website or simply by typing messages on WhatsApp.

Key Features of Kartunet's Event System

This latest system comes with a series of technical innovations and key features designed with universal design principles:

• Full Integration of Avika WhatsApp Bot: Users no longer need to bother opening a browser if their connection is unstable. Through Avika on WhatsApp (Type menu 12), users can view event schedules, register, and even download certificates directly from the chat.
• Gamification and Avika Coins: Learning and competing are now much more enjoyable. The system automatically awards bonus Avika Coins for various positive participations, such as when users successfully check attendance, register for a competition, or provide post-event evaluations. These coins will accumulate to increase the user's rank level within Kartunet.
• Integrated Competition Module: Competition registration (such as essay writing or other creative work competitions) is now much more organized. The system features automatic work URL validation and a dedicated judging dashboard for committees to instantly provide scores, reviews, and designate Main Winners in real-time. Main winners will even immediately receive a bonus coin injection into their Avika wallet.
• Text-Based Accessible E-Certificates: Attendance certificates are no longer just static image files. Each e-certificate includes screen reader text, a unique anti-forgery verification link, and a QR code that can be directly embedded into the participant's LinkedIn profile.
• Automatic AI Reminder System: To prevent participants from forgetting event schedules, Kartunet has implemented a reminder trigger system powered by Cloudflare AI, sent periodically and user-friendly.

A Word from the Innovator

"We built this system with one simple philosophy: Technology should be a bridge, not a barrier. Through the integration of the Avika WhatsApp Bot and this Gamification module, we want to prove that a 100% disability-accessible platform can indeed be created without sacrificing functionality and aesthetics. This is a significant leap for Kartunet to ensure that no inclusive talent is left behind in accessing equal knowledge, training, and competition."
