Abstract

Smart Campus is a wireless mobile location-aware set of community services designed to support and expand social networks on a campus or similar urban enclave. To validate that Smart Campus is successful in that, we need to measure the users' social networks before and after use. Measuring social networks is complex: concomitant with eliciting accurate representations of the social networks, the procedures need to be completed quickly and lend themselves to presentation on the World Wide Web. Techniques described in the literature needed to be modified to be more suitable to our needs. This paper describes the development of a questionnaire used to measure egocentric student social networks and our initial findings about the size of current campus student networks.
