Internet of Things and Its Applications to Smart Campus: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

A smart campus is an emerging trend that will revolutionize the education system by enabling universities to improve services, and processes as well as achieve sustainability goals. With the proliferation of advanced technologies, a smart campus has emerged as an important concept that integrates technology into higher education. A smart campus takes advantage of IoT technologies to facilitate teaching and research activities. The purpose of this study is to identify the IoT technologies that are required in the development of a smart campus. This study uses a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology and PRISMA processes to analyze high-quality articles on the IoT-based smart campuses from the last five years (2017-2022) as extracted from three databases like Scopus, ScienceDirect, and IEEE. The findings of the study reveal that the implementation of an IoT-based smart campus offers many advantages and benefits but also presents challenges requiring further exploration. Because of the chosen research approach, the research results may lack generalizability. Therefore, researchers are encouraged to test the proposed propositions further. The paper explores the many benefits and advantages that are brought by the implementation of IoT-based smart campuses. It also identifies key challenges that are presented by such implementations. Researchers, policymakers, teachers, and students can benefit from this study by gaining insights into the IoT-based smart campus.

An Indoor Location-Based Augmented Reality Framework

“…In practice, ILARF can be applied to environments that require visualization using AR, IL, and data communication at the same time. Typical environments include the smart manufacturing [ 74 ], smart city [ 75 ], smart home [ 76 ], and smart campus [ 77 ], etc.…”

Design and Optimization of Smart Campus Framework Based on Artificial Intelligence22

“…The framework's efficiency and effectiveness were measured objectively by performance evaluation and comparison to established systems and standards. In order to analyze and interpret the research findings, a structured and data-driven method was supplied by the research design equations and variables, which included user happiness, AI model performance, optimization metrics, and smart campus adoption (Cavus et al, 2022). The user-centric design, cutting-edge technology, and data-driven decision-making that support the optimized smart campus framework promise to produce a progressive, effective, and technologically advanced learning environment that meets the various needs of all stakeholders.…”

“…The Asia-Pacific place is anticipated to develop at a charge of nearly 50% in the course of the subsequent ten years. Adopting AI's promise and making sure of its ethical use is important for progressive changes in schooling (Cavus, Mrwebi, Ibrahim, Modupeola, & Reeves, 2022).…”

Usability Evaluation and Enhancement of the AI-Powered Smart-Campus Framework: A User-Centred Approach

“…User-centred methodologies, such as questionnaires, interviews, and usability testing, have proven to be useful methods for evaluating user happiness, usability, and interaction effectiveness. Studies (Omitaomu & Niu, 2021;Liang & Chen, 2018;Cavus, Mrwebi, Ibrahim, Modupeola, & Reeves, 2022;Shaw, Das, Piuri, & Bianchini, 2022) have also shown the value of iterative design methods, where improvements are made as a result of ongoing user feedback, creating systems that are more streamlined and user-friendly in the end. The research on smart campuses found that while AI-based frameworks offered improved resource allocation, security management, and learning experiences, the usability component was frequently understudied (Imbar et al, 2020).…”
