This qualitative study investigates the perception of undergraduate students at a university in Malaysia as part of a need analysis to develop a university orientation app. Fifteen participants were interviewed and the findings suggest that the participants have a positive perception of having the app. The positive perception is mainly based on the needs to navigate around the campus where the apps will help to make the navigation easier and effective by serving as ‘one-stop information center’. In addition to the navigation purpose, the potential users request gamification elements to keep them interested in using the app. This paper concludes that an appealing orientation app for the students should expose them to the university surrounding and at the same time contain gamification elements.Radzuwan Ab RashidNagaletchimee AnnamalaiHadeel SaedBaderaddin YassinOmar Ali Al-SmadiInternational Association of Online Engineering (IAOE)articlesmartphone appshigher institutiongamificationorientation appTelecommunicationTK5101-6720ENInternational Journal of Interactive Mobile Technologies, Vol 15, Iss 22, Pp 165-171 (2021)
