Book Smart Campus Tools  Technologies to Support Campus Users and Campus Managers

Download or read book Smart Campus Tools Technologies to Support Campus Users and Campus Managers written by Bart Valks and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the density on the Dutch university campus has increased substantially due to a continued growth of student populations. Campus managers face the challenge of accommodating the university?s students and employees mainly in the existing buildings, which are used ineffectively and inefficiently. In order to improve the space use on campus, campus managers need better information about space use. Therefore, this PhD dissertation proposes the use of Smart campus tools: a service or product with which information on space use is collected real-time to improve utilization of the current campus on the one hand, and to improve decision-making about the future campus on the other hand. The main research question is: 0How can smart campus tools optimally contribute to the match between demand for and supply of space, both on the current campus and on the future campus?0To answer the research question, this PhD dissertation explores the use of Smart campus tools in Dutch and international contexts, at universities and other organisations. Then, it researches how information from Smart campus tools can be properly connected to campus decision-making processes. The results from this research are used to inform existing theories and draw lessons for practice.

Book Smart Campus E Readiness

Download or read book Smart Campus E Readiness written by Sayed Hadi Sadeghi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-04-19 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the concept of the smart campus and e-learning practice in tertiary education, showing the relevance of the smart campus to the current learning environment. It provides a pedagogical framework for good practice in smart university campuses. The book outlines the interdisciplinary concept of the smart campus and draws on technology, education, and learning sciences to show how the smart campus can best work. It examines e-practice assessment in three different contexts, namely the United States, Australia, and Iran, from the perspective of administrators, faculty members, and students. Using this international comparative analysis, the book determines the existing advantages and disadvantages of existing e-learning systems. It offers a framework for researchers and developers to accelerate and assess the readiness of current campuses to optimize teaching, learning, and research at the university. This highly topical book will be essential reading for researchers, scholars, and post-graduate students in the fields of educational technology, digital education, higher education, and e-learning. It will also be useful for higher education instructors and university administrators to understand how smart campus knowledge can be integrated with other learning and teaching experiences.

  • ISBN : 1000631567
  • Pages : 278 pages

Download or read book University Trends written by Jonathan Coulson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-09-28 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The campus has a deep-rooted prestige as a place of teaching, learning and nurturing. Conjuring images of cloistered quadrangles, of sunny lawns, of wood-panelled libraries, it is a word viscerally charged with centuries of scholarly tradition. And yet it is also a place of cutting-edge science, vibrancy and energy. It is this dual nature, this concurrent adherence to tradition and innovation, which renders the physical environment of the university such a redolent, enduring and dynamic realm. However, it also means that the twenty-first-century campus is a highly challenging and exacting landscape to design and manage successfully. Today, the scale of the pressures and the rate of change facing higher education institutions are greater than ever. Squeezed public spending, growing societal expectations and the broadening education ambitions of developing nations are set against a backdrop of rapid technological progress and changing pedagogies. What are the repercussions for the physical realities of university planning and architecture? And how are university campuses adapting to contend with these pressures? University Trends: Contemporary Campus Design introduces the most significant, widespread, and thought-provoking trends that are currently shaping the planning and architecture of higher education institutions across the world. Within this completely revised third edition, Part One identifies current patterns such as student hubs, large-scale expansions and buildings for innovation and interdisciplinary research. Part Two profiles these through recent, well-illustrated, global case studies. This is the essential guide to current and future trends in campus design.
