Abstract

In this paper, we present MoCCha, a mobile campus application used not only as a subject of research, but as a research platform for a number of scientific disciplines. Using apps that are available from mobile application stores enables studying user behavior in the field with the aim for ecological validity that human-subject studies in lab environments are potentially missing.
