  2. Survey Exploring Welcome Week • Survey delivered to first year students on a variety of computing based course at NTU. • Experience was insufficient in supporting them in meeting people and finding places. Some felt that current activities undertaken where of little relevance. • First point of contact was technology based (website, NOW etc.) • Participants agreed that an app would be useful during the welcome week events.

  3. Mobile app to aid transition through engagement • An app making use of NFC tag technology to produce dynamic and interactive maps • Replacement for some activities, producing a collaborative exercise (e.g. scavenger hunt) • Become familiar with the campus and peers • Plan – trial the app during welcome week through measures of engagement and comparison to older activities
