Assessment of ubiquitous systems based on e-Campus and Near Field Communication in a college environment

Abstract

The natural tendency of society to meet its daily needs, has led to adopt new forms of interaction supported by ubiquitous computing technologies that provide a new dimension of connectivity. Among the new concepts that are related to these technologies is the IoT-Internet of Things and with him, the University of Things as an alternative for scenarios within higher education that enable interaction between people and common objects. According with this concept –and based on Conceptual Framework of learning Internet of things, criteria– e-campus activities in several scenarios was designed and conducted, in order to assessment applicability and pertinence of Near Field Communication technologies. After a rigorous statistical analysis of the experimental results it was concluded that the activities promote a satisfactory interaction space for participants, improving usability perception of intelligent environments belonging to the IoT.
