description Viimeisen vuosikymmenen aikana älykampuksen konsepti on saanut osakseen merkittävää huomiota akateemisessa maailmassa. Käytännössä konseptilla tarkoitetaan arvokkaiden, kampusarjen eri osa-alueisiin integroituvien, ja uusiin teknologioihin pohjautuvien palveluiden luomista ja hyödyntämistä kampuksella. Yliopistot ympäri maailmaa ovat käynnistäneet aloitteita muuttaakseen kampuksensa älykampuksiksi, ja aiheesta on julkaistu merkittävää tutkimusta. Tämä pro gradu -tutkielma tarkastelee aihetta älykampuksen mobiilisovellusten näkökulmasta, hyödyntäen kirjallisuuskatsausta ja empiiristä tapaustutkimusta erään älykampuksen mobiilisovelluksen käyttäjäkokemuksista. Tutkimuksen päätavoitteena on rakentaa ymmärrystä siitä, mitkä ominaisuudet ja teknologiat ovat yleisimmin käytössä älykampuksen mobiilisovelluksissa, onko käyttäjillä kiinnostusta integroida tekoälyä tällaisiin sovelluksiin, ja mihin kampuselämän osa-alueisiin sovellusten todellinen käyttö kohdistuu. Tulokset osoittavat, että älykkään elämisen ja oppimisen alueet hallitsevat älykampus-mobiilisovellusten käyttöä ja ominaisuuksia – sovellukset tukevat merkittävästi sekä päivittäistä elämää, että oppimiseen liittyviä toimintoja fyysisellä kampuksella. Tutkimuksessa havaittiin myös, että laaja joukko teknologioita tukee näiden sovellusten ominaisuuksia. Näistä teknologioista yleisimpiä ovat mobiili, datan laskenta & tallennus sekä IoT-teknologiat. Tekoälyn käyttö on tällä hetkellä vähäisempää, mutta sillä nähdään olevan merkittävää tulevaisuuden potentiaalia. Lisäksi havaittiin, että tietyt yleiset ominaisuudet voivat parantaa älykampuksen mobiilisovellusten hyödyllisyyttä ja kätevyyttä. Näiden tulosten myötä tämä tutkimus tuottaa teoreettista hyötyä esittämällä käyttäjäkeskeisen näkökulman siihen, mikä rooli mobiilisovelluksilla yleensä on älykampuksen ja sen sovellusalueiden kontekstissa. Käytännön hyötynä tämä tutkimus tarjoaa ideoita ja suosituksia, jotka voivat auttaa oppilaitoksia toteuttamaan ja parantamaan omia mobiilisovelluksiaan. During the past decade, the concept of a smart campus has gained significant attention in the academic community. Essentially, the concept of a smart campus is about utilization of novel technology to build valuable services, that integrate to all aspects of the life on campus. Universities around the world have created initiatives to transform their campuses into smart ones, and significant research has been published on the topic. Through a literature review of this existing research, and an empirical case study focusing on user experiences of a particular smart campus mobile application through a theory of application domains, this master’s thesis explores the topic from the viewpoint of smart campus mobile applications. The main goals of this research are to build an understanding of which features and technologies are commonly utilized in support of such mobile applications, whether there’s interest in integrating artificial intelligence to such applications, and which domains of life on campus the applications’ usage serves in practice. The results indicate the domains of Smart Living and Learning dominate the usage and features of smart campus mobile applications, with the applications taking a major role in supporting both daily life, and learning-related activities on physical campus. It was also found that wide variety of technologies are utilized to support the features of these applications, with mobile, data computing & storage, and IoT technology being most common, with artificial intelligence seeing less usage, but significant future potential. Additionally, it was found that several general qualities can increase usefulness and convenience of smart campus mobile applications. With these results, this research provides a theoretical contribution by presenting user-centric viewpoint into what role mobile applications usually play in the context of the smart campus and its application domains. As a practical contribution, this research provides ideas and recommendations that can help educational institutions implement and improve their own mobile applications.
