Flash “Facelift” on KSU Mobile App

Author(s)
Abstract
Kent State University students are experiencing difficulty finding their way around the large campus. This can be especially true for the sizable groups of incoming freshman coming to Kent for the first time. The KSU Mobile App is, in part, designed to help diminish this aggravation with travel, however, with an ever-changing culture of technology, the app has now proven to be more frustrating than helpful to the average user. Using the hard work that has already been put into the making of the KSU Mobile app, we would like to make improvements to both the bus tracking and the parking map system. With busing, we hope to improve the live feed of bus movement and make it easier for the average user to understand which bus is traveling to which destination. In regards to the parking system, our hope is to distinctly label the parking lots, helping to improve the understanding of parking eligibility by all students, faculty, and visitors. By doing this, we believe the KSU Mobile app can continue to be a very useful, effective tool for all of Kent State. The app can evolve with this demanding, technological era.
