Application of IoT in the Development of Intelligent Education System – A Thematic Literature Review

Abstract

Smart Education System makes efficient use of IT technology that takes advantage of IoT and cloud computing technologies to track and act on multiple educational system components. To maximize the battery life of IoT nodes, the systems need to provide access to nodes and gateways by that introduce an architecture that allows not only the latest wireless and wired technologies to provide a fair communication range but also reduced energy usage. Like other sectors integrating intelligent cultures, the education sector is no exception to this. The IoT confirms its important role in the field of Information and Communication Technology and social growth. More devices are linked in education; campus leaders will be able to derive even more value from the continuous stream of data and knowledge, helping them transition from a transactional relationship to an iterative process with students, teachers, administrators, and providers. A small, person-centered environment helps smart campuses to complement and fit with the overall smart environment strategy, allowing educational institutions to achieve full productivity, promote sustainability, and enhance their constituents' everyday conditions. This analysis of the literature is generated using the secondary data obtained by reviewing a good number of papers published in journals and online sources. The study aims to explain IoT's use in the growth of the Smart Education System. The limitation of the study is that it deals only with the subject matter's application components which leave physical components.

Internet of Things (IoT)-Based Teaching and Learning: Modern Trends and Open Challenges

“…The Internet of Things (IoT) enables students to access educational materials from any instrument or gadget that is linked to the Internet. Additionally, by analyzing the data gathered from students via sensors and wearable technology, the IoT enables educational institutions to track and analyze students' academic progress [40]. Additionally, thanks to the Internet of Things, it is possible to identify both teachers and pupils, and attendance can be tracked automatically using RFID tags or face recognition software.…”

“…Teachers can give grades to students via Telegram and Google Docs while saving time by utilizing Kahoot's online IoT workflows [14]. Real-time measurements of the students' skin resistance, heart rates, and brain waves are carried out using a variety of Internet of Things sensors, including cameras, microphones, and wearable devices [40]. The university intelligence education platform is capable of delivering online instruction, tracking attendance, and querying test results [42].…”

“…The purpose of the study in [40] is to clarify how the IoT is being used to develop the Smart Education System, as discussed in Table 1. The goal of this study is to learn more about these interactions in contexts related to the smart physical campus.…”
