Background of the Study
As universities grow in size and infrastructure, navigating large campuses becomes increasingly difficult for students, especially newcomers. Bayero University, Kano, with its vast campus and multiple departments, presents a challenge for students in finding their way to classrooms, libraries, cafeterias, and administrative offices. A mobile application designed for campus navigation could provide students with a real-time map of the university, guiding them to their destinations and improving their overall campus experience. By integrating GPS technology and interactive features, the app could help users find buildings, facilities, and events, making their campus experience more efficient and enjoyable.
The use of mobile applications in educational settings has become more prevalent, and universities are increasingly adopting technological tools to enhance student experience and engagement. Implementing a campus navigation app at Bayero University could simplify students' daily navigation challenges and ensure they are more connected to their academic environment. This study aims to assess the feasibility and benefits of creating a mobile application to assist students with campus navigation at Bayero University, Kano.
Statement of the Problem
Navigating large campuses can be overwhelming for students, particularly new students who are unfamiliar with the layout of the university. The absence of a dedicated navigation system often leads to frustration, lost time, and increased stress levels among students. Bayero University, Kano, with its sprawling campus, faces this issue, making it difficult for students to find classrooms, resources, and key facilities. This research seeks to address these challenges by exploring the feasibility of a mobile application that would provide real-time navigation support for students and help enhance their overall campus experience.
