Quote from CIO ESSEC Business School: Catherine Croiziers de Lacvivier
The idea of this project emerged as a result of visiting a mall in London that allowed visitors to stroll and have all the mall events on their smartphone. Having been asked to set up a ‘badge card’ system in our classrooms to facilitate the roll call of students by teachers, I immediately saw the potential of this type of technology. We are in the space of connected objects which will allow an additional set of possible services to be invented by our students. A big thank you to Digital Social Retail for accepting this challenge and to have made it a great adventure.
