Demo Abstract: A Tool to Access and Visualize Classroom Attendance Data from a Smart Campus

Abstract

This demo presents our web-tool to access and visualize student attendance data obtained from instrumenting a pilot set of classrooms with people counting sensors in a large university campus in Sydney, Australia. We showcase two aspects: (1) how to access and process our open data-set containing time-stamped occupancy counts for 9 lecture rooms of varying size in which over 250 courses are conducted over a 12-week semester; and (2) visualizing occupancy at multiple spatial (per-room and per-course) and temporal (over a day, week, or semester) granularities, enabling new insights into student attendance and room usage patterns.
