The Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming a regular part of our lives. The devices can be used in many sectors, such as education and in the learning process. The article describes the possibilities of using commonly available devices such as smart wristbands (watches) and eye tracking technology, i.e., using existing technical solutions and methods that rely on the application of sensors while maintaining non-invasiveness. By comparing the data from these devices, we observed how the students’ attention affects their results. We looked for a correlation between eye tracking, heart rate, and student attention and how it all impacts their learning outcomes. We evaluate the obtained data in order to determine whether there is a degree of dependence between concentration and heart rate of students.
In addition to the classical forms of teaching and learning, due to today's changed way of life and society, the atypical forms of learning have an increasing role. These represent those progressive learning forms which are not necessarily tied to educational institutions, not in the traditional sense of lessons, lectures and seminars. In atypical learning the studying individual chooses the academic environment according to his objectives and motivation.[1]. So this is good platform for students wishing to continually renew their knowledge, an attitude that is most characteristic for non-formal and informal learning. The latter two typically carry the essential characteristics of lifelong learning and provide opportunity to have an employment in a workplace, active participation in family life and the same time as the opportunity for learning.
The article deals with the practical methods of atypical forms of learning such as e-learning, distance learning, virtual reality, networked based community learning and their modern digital instruments (including cloud-based services). Secondly, this article describes the layers of today's digital citizenship, its life-style forms, attitudes and characteristics.In the second part of a study on the topic of practical knowledge, empirical results will be presented for the reader so one can learn about learning styles and habits, the prevailing methods of learning through a survey done among two age groups. The specific survey revealed, among other things, students' use of communication tools, the use of community services (social networks), as well as their learning habits and time management.I.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
