Abstract: While the continuous development of information technology and its wide application to higher education have deeply impacted the patterns of student learning and campus activities, resource allocation and teaching mode innovation have become the focus of higher education. Based on a sample of student volunteers from a research university in China, this study employed GPS and Wifipositioning technologies, supplemented with log information from the campus information system, to study the spatiotemporal distribution of campus activities such as those in the classrooms, dorms and the stadium, by gender and across grades. The study also discussed possible causes for the different activity patterns as well as the usage of campus facilities. The results of this study revealed that the spatial distribution of campus resources appeared decentralized. In detail, student campus activities and learning sites became diversified. Students tended to choose the proximate facilities and sites for study and other oncampus activities, resulting in the decline in the use of traditional learning sites （e.g. libraries and classrooms）. These results provided recommendations for campus resource allocation, university BI and the data collection for smartcampus.
