WHAT ARE SMART CAMPUSES? • Smart campuses, like smart cities, are defined as places where devices and applications create new experiences or services and facilitate operational efficiency. • New ways to improve the experience for students academically and socially, along with mitigating security and environmental issues as well as reducing spiralling operating costs.

REQUISITES FOR SMART CAMPUSES: • • Wi-Fi and IOT technologies Autonomous bandwagon vehicles. Renewables sources of energy. Geofencing.

IMPORTANT FEATURES: • Networked video cameras, digitalized LED lighting systems, digital identification card readers • reduce traffic congestion, increase road safety for drivers and pedestrians, and lower carbon emissions from gas-powered vehicles. • Solar panels for water heating. • Geofencing- is the practice of using global positioning systems and radio frequency identification technology to create a specific virtual geographical area, allowing software to set off a response on mobile devices when entering or exiting an area.

SOCIAL MEDIA = ONLINE PUBLIC PARTICIPATION ?

WHY SOCIAL MEDIA IS NOT BEST FOR ONLINE PARTICIPATION ? PUBLIC • Spread of mis-information due to few people not checking the information they see. • People can easily ignore each other’s points. • Average social media post has a very short lifespan • The nature of social media, with its constant and steady stream of information from a plethora of sources, makes it difficult to maintain the arc of information around a complex topic. • Emphasis on the number of responses, rather than on the commonalities or differences between the responses.

A GOOD PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PLATFORM HAS: • • An easy and intuitive interface. The features you need, nothing less, nothing more. A system to manage participation time. An online platform which is flexible. A solution that leaves you owner of the data. A transparent was to give feedback to the citizens. A great data visualization system.

UNIVERSITY OF PANAMA Initiative to implement the Smart Campus project that will share information about all the facilities located within the UP campus to benefit the university community.

METHODOLOGY: • discussing and deciding what information we wanted to present within the final project (the map) • creating a list of the facilities that are inside the campus (buildings, green areas, recreational areas, access for people with disabilities, parking and other landmarks) • organizing a tour of all university buildings on campus during which we created • added a list of attributes (ex. bathrooms, classrooms, laboratories, water sources, elevators, cafeterias, deposits among others) within each of the buildings.

RESULTS: Geofenced our data and added our campus data to a virtual and 3 D map, where anyone can quickly locate places on campus from their mobile devices through a completely free app. Both students, teachers and those who visit the campus will travel faster to their destination saving time when teaching or studying now that they are able to map the fastest route!
