Smart Campus
The main focus of Smart Campus is revolutionizing the education system through diversification of contents and IT technology. Through a concept called OCX(Open Campus Experience), Yonsei University aims to manage and provide all the information that are created within the campus. All cultural, art, academic activities will be notified to students via mobile calendar, and students will be able to access it through online video clips. Professors can also easily make lecture video clips during lectures, and outside lecturers can also participate through online invitation. Providing many services as mobile services is also another important aspect of Smart Campus. Students may enter libraries using mobile student ID cards, and they can also check for location of the shuttle bus on campus and whether the cafeterias are packed with students or not. Using Beacon, students can check in for attendance at all large lecture halls by smartphone, and all submitted works can be checked for plagiarism through Korean/English anti-plagiarism system.
