Abstract

Internet of Things is a rapidly growing network of a variety of different connected objects. Now, because of their ubiquitous nature, educational institutions are looking to incorporate IoTs technologies in teaching and learning activities. This paper contributes to the ongoing discussion on the benefits and challenges of incorporating IoTs in education. More precisely, it provides (i) a summary that reports on results of a systematic literature review we conducted on IoT in education along with a framework for describing and classifying scenarios that involve IoTs for education, (ii) a demonstration of a tool we developed to provide an adaptive learning experience in response to a remote learner’s emotions, and (iii) a discussion on three domain-related quality requirements to consider when designing IoTs applications for education; namely, security, scalability and humanization.
