“…On the other hand, the development of IoT has contributed to numerous innovations in all fields of education, shifting the focus on blended, mobile, ubiquitous, and active learning [8,44,67]. Previous studies have shown that introducing sensors, actuators, and other smart devices can improve both teaching and learning processes in engineering education [31,47,59,62]. For instance, Maenpaa et al [47] discuss using IoT devices as a tool for teaching software engineering.…”

This article presents a game-based learning model implemented in a smart learning environment. The goal is to determine students' interest, willingness to participate, and impressions about game-based learning, which takes place in interaction with the smart classroom. The educational game was designed and implemented by harnessing advanced web, mobile, Internet of Things (IoTs) technologies, and augmented reality and integrated into an e-learning ecosystem based on Moodle platform. The game aimed to test students' knowledge in the field of IoT. For the evaluation, an experiment was conducted within the IoT-related courses at the Faculty of Organizational Sciences, University of Belgrade. The results show that the proposed approach has a positive impact on the learning process and that the integration of educational games into common learning management systems is a good practice for extending common formal learning models. The proposed approach is expected to contribute to introducing smart learning environments into the learning process in higher education.

Existing education systems are facing a threat of question paper leaking (QPL) in the exam which jeopardizes the quality of education. Therefore, it is high time to think about a more secure and flexible question sharing system which can prevent QPL issue in the future education system. Blockchain enables a way of creating and storing transactions, contracts or anything that requires protection against tampering, accessing etc. This paper presents a new scheme for smart education, by utilizing the concept of blockchain, for question sharing. A two-phase encryption technique for encrypting question paper (QSP) is proposed. In the first phase, QSPs are encrypted using timestamp and in the second phase, previous encrypted QSPs are encrypted again using a timestamp, salt hash and hashes from previous QSPs. These encrypted QSPs are stored in the blockchain along with a smart contract which helps the user to unlock the selected QSP. An algorithm is also proposed for selecting a QSP for the exam which picks a QSP randomly. Moreover, a timestamp based lock is imposed on the scheme so that no one can decrypt the QSP before the allowed time. Finally, security is analyzed by proving different propositions and the superiority of the proposed scheme over existing schemes is proven through a comparative study based on the different features.

The coexistence of various kinds of devices, protocols, architectures, and programming languages make Internet of Things (IoT) systems complex to develop, even for experienced programmers. Perforce, Software Engineering challenges are even more difficult to address by novice programmers. Previous research focused on identifying the most challenging issues that novice programmers experience when developing IoT systems. The results suggested that the integration of heterogeneous software components resulted one of the most painful issues, mainly due to the lack of documentation understandable by inexperienced developers, from both conceptual and technical perspectives. In fact, novice programmers devote a significant effort looking for documentation and code samples willing to understand them conceptually, or in the worst case, at least to make them work. Driven by the research question: "How do the lessons learned by IoT novice programmers can be captured, so they become an asset for other novice developers?", in this paper, we introduce Code Recipes. They consist of summarized and welldefined documentation modules, independent from programming languages or run-time environments, by which non-expert programmers can smoothly become familiar with source code, written by other developers that faced similar issues. Through a use case, we show how Code Recipes are a feasible mechanism to support novice IoT programmers in building their IoT systems.
