The left side of the Campus Tour shows the Silliman
University main campus map. The yellow circles represent the different
spots in the campus that have 360° views (Figure 1). If a particular
spot has already been visited (clicked by the mouse), the circle turns
green (Figure 2). The name of a particular building also appears at
the upper right hand of the map when the user's mouse pointer comes
above a certain object. |

The control bar for the campus tour can be found

views. A user can also automatically jump from one spot to another
by just simply clicking on the yellow circles (unvisited spot) or
green circles (preview of the spots). Beside the control bar, the
location of the spot that is being currently featured is indicated.

Network
Tour
| |
 |
| |
The Network Tour gives the user an idea of the Internet
and LAN connections of the university. Silliman University is very
proud of this technological advancement and sees it as an asset. So,
a tour such as this seem significant. |
| |
|
|
|
 |
 |
| Figure 1 |
Figure 2 |
| |
|
| The user is provided with the map (Figure 1) of the
university. All buildings are clickable. The yellow-colored buildings
are the ones that have network connections. But still, the user can
click the other buildings. As the user clicks on any of the yellow-colored
buildings, he is provided with different descriptions of the network
connection (Figure 2). |
Figure 3 |
A spotlight on the building clicked and its network
connection is shown on the map (Figure 3). |
| |
|
 |
At the lower right corner of the page, a simple animation is presented.
It illustrates the network connection from a certain building to another
or to other buildings. The network devices and the different cables
used are also specified. The animation can be paused and resumed by
pressing the button at the upper left corner. |

specifications of the network device (Figure 5). Another box gives
the distance between the different network connections of a specific
building (Figure 6). |

Buildings
|
|
|
| |
The Buildings feature of the Silliman University Online Tour provides
the user with the opportunity of searching for a particular building
only by knowing its name. There may be some users who don't know
where in the campus a building is, but they know its name. This
feature helps them in this predicament. The different buildings
are classified into six categories: General Buildings, Academic
Buildings, Dormitories, Residences, SU Farm and Marine Lab and Landmarks.

Colleges
|
|
|
| |
The Colleges feature is almost the same as the Buildings feature
but there are only a few differences. First, the buildings are arranged
into the different colleges they belong to. For example, High School
Main Building is part of the School of Basic Education. Next, there
is a map of the main campus and of the SU Farm and Lab. So that
every time the user moves his mouse over a specific college, the
buildings belonging to that college pop up from the map.
As the user chooses a college, the buildings that belong to that
college would be displayed at the box found below all the colleges.
The user can then choose from the buildings listed at the box. All
the buildings and landmarks at the map found at the right side are
still clickable.
