The Effect of the Internet of Things (IoT) on Education Business Model

Abstract

Abstract-The introduction of the Internet of Things (IoT) in education, which allows Internet based communications to happen between physical objects, sensors and controllers, has changed educational institutions massively. By embedding sensors in objects and integrating cloud computing, augmented reality, wearable technologies and big data in this platform, different parameters of the educational environment can be measured and analysed to provide useful information. It also has created a new interaction between people and the environment in educational organisation. In this research based on the recent IoT projects in education, we will categorize the application of IoT in education into four groups: energy management and real time ecosystem monitoring, monitoring student's healthcare, classroom access control and improving teaching and learning. We will investigate and analyse how this platform has changed the Education Business Model and added new value propositions in such organizations based on the Canvas Business Model.

Smart Education: A Review and Future Research Directions

“…Nevertheless, new technologies entail also new challenges. Some problems are very specific [4] and affect only a low percentage of people, such as disability, but others are more general [50], such as adaptation to new technologies. Another challenge that emerges is the communication between devices and systems [18], particularly to the saturation of the network or concerning security problems [12].…”

Learning analytics for IoE based educational model using deep learning techniques: architecture, challenges and applications

“…In a typical IoE ecosystem some of the requests are user centric while others are object or conditions centric (which require little or no human intervention) (Maksimović, 2018;Bayani et al, 2017;Bagheri & Movahed, 2016;Benson, 2016;Sethi & Sarangi, 2017). For such requests, deep learning techniques can play a pivotal role in enhancing the training of the system for improving the precision of the device's responses in servicing the requests.…”

Modelos de negócios educacionais: uma revisão sistemática de literatura

“…O advento de novas tecnologias vem transformando o ambiente educacional, tornando-o mais inteligente e interconectado (Bagheri & Movahed, 2016). Essa mudança se reflete não apenas no processo de ensino-aprendizagem, mas também nos modelos de negócios educacionais, de tal forma que o mantra popular "inove seu modelo de negócios ou morra" impõe a necessidade de as organizações modernas de educação repensarem suas estratégias para atender a demanda atual e tecnológica de ensino (Selinger, Sepulveda, & Buchan, 2013;Bagheri & Movahed, 2016;Hoveskog, Halila, Mattsson, Opward & Karlsson, 2018).…”

“…Modelos de negócios são importantes ferramentas conceituais que expressam a lógica e a estratégia de uma empresa (Bagheri & Movahed, 2016;Keane, Cormican, & Sheahan, 2018). Da mesma forma, em uma instituição de ensino é necessário um modelo de negócio que esteja de acordo com seus valores, perspectivas e público-alvo, permitindo-a prosperar em seus objetivos.…”

“…O processo educacional vem sendo alterado de um modelo de transferência de conhecimentos para um modelo de autogestão colaborativa, em especial pela influência de tecnologias disruptivas nas instituições educacionais (Bagheri & Movahed, 2016). A empresa Cisco, em 2013, previu um aumento de 27% na taxa de adaptação global ao uso da tecnologia na educação ao longo dos próximos 10 anos, ou seja, até 2022 (Selinger et al, 2013).…”
