Hay Sitiouna aplicación colaborativa para la gestión de espacios de trabajo del alumnado en informática

Laburpena

During their studies, computer science undergradu- ates must carry out a large number of practical assignments for many different subjects. In many cases, such assignments must be done in groups. Therefore, students should meet together at the campus premises in order to carry out these tasks. However, they sometimes struggle to find an ap- propriate meeting place due to the limited availabil- ity of properly equipped classrooms and laborato- ries. In order to make easier the organization of the students when it comes to undertake such group- based assignments, the present work introduces a novel system based on a mobile application that allows students to timely find out the available spaces at a university campus. For this goal, a crowdsensing approach is follows where students themselves report on available classrooms and laboratories at each moment. As a result, the system provides information about spaces availability in a more dynamic and accessible manner than thes official calendars and timetables.
