Beyond Infrastructure: How Smart Campuses Shape the Student Experience

Technological Factor in Enhancing Happiness

Smart technologies within campus environment have become a hot topic recently due to the fact that they influence the quality of educational services and experience of the students.

However, in many cases, the focus is solely on financial aspects associated with the process of digitizing. Nowadays, the process of digital transformation is taking place rapidly at the modern university campus. The transformation influences the level of stress and happiness of students in their everyday lives.

The presence of outdated cash system, long lines in the cafeteria and difficulties with using the administrative portals create unnecessary friction. Smart campus may be considered an integrated campus environment including connected buildings and systems.

> The Frictionless Experience by Way of BillBuddy

In its essence, the smart campus turns into an integrated learning space where students play an active role in the learning network. The idea behind this is to increase efficiency by implementing technology in a well-targeted manner with the primary goal being not about applying advanced technologies but rather meeting users’ needs.

This very user-oriented approach was taken when designing the BillBuddy platform by Isaii Technologies:

• Immediate Access: By eliminating the need for cash and creating a single payment platform, students are relieved from any worries regarding losses and delayed payments.

• IoT Integration: A smart campus is an integrated environment which uses new technologies including the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, data analysis and cyber-physical systems in order to create a more efficient, interactive, secure and sustainable learning environment. The BillBuddy platform connects directly with IoT-equipped kiosks around the campus giving students instant and 24/7 access to resources and nourishment.

• Data-driven Environment: It is aimed at improving the learning process for students, resource management efficiency and scientific innovations. Analyzing the transaction data from BillBuddy allows managers to modify operational hours and resource allocations to fit living habits of their students.
