Technology and education have come to the point ofharmony now.
Internet of Things (IoT) refers, to technological advancements inthe networking with the help of which real-world entities can be connected to communicatewith each other over the internet. In general, replacing the teacher or makingthe teaching process faster is not the objective anymore. It is about obtainingthe offering of education and better features. To do so, schools of tomorrowshould study towards emerging technologies today. An IoTs enabled classroom, orPersonal PC is without question adequately equipped to provide made-to-measurelearning for students with individual needs, interactive learning experiences,faster feedback, easy collaboration access for both students and teachers andfacilitation for remote learning.
The efficiency and cost benefits from anadministrative point of view are also enormous. In this paper, it will discussthe study the impact and model of IoT based e-Learning system refer totechnological advancements in the networking with the help of which real-worldobjects can be connected to communicate with each other over the internet andalso conclude how machine learning algorithms enhance the performance of IoT enabledE-learning systemSome of the modern IoT artilleryin this domain includes digital highlighters, smarter boards. It means theprinted text could be digitally conveyed to the smartphone or any other app atan incredible speed through tools like Scan marker and c-pen. Interactiveboards can get, acknowledge, and reciprocate data, simplifying and stimulatingthe overall learning activity. Just imagine an outline where students sittingin a classroom or front of PC at their home can interact with their friends,classmates, teachers, and educators scattered over the world. Now, let’ssuppose the lesson of the day has focused on sea life.
To give students anespecially exciting – and profoundly educational – experience, the mentordecides to access live information caused by sensors and live feeds monitoringa particular body of water. The IoT refers to a better vision whereby ‘things'(objects) such as everyday objects (entity), places, and environments haveinterconnected with one another via the Internet. An example of a simple IoTobject now available in some homes is a thermostat which can determine whenpeople occupy certain rooms and alter levels of heating, lighting and otherfunctions in the house accordingly. By widening the Internet from “a network ofinterconnected computers to a network of interconnected objects,” the IoT willcover a vast and complex network of devices. These devices will add sensors tomeasure the data of environment around them, actuators which physically actback into their environment such as processors to handle, opening the door andstore the massive data generated, nodes to send the information and organizersto help manage sets of these parts.
Through this, it has the potential tosignificantly extend, enrich and even shift the relationship between people andthe world around them. In fact, many are hoping that the IoT will play apivotal role in addressing many of today’s societal challenges such as an agingsociety, deforestation, traffic congestion and recyclability. Thisinterconnection of physical objects is expected to magnify the profoundconsequences that large-scale networked connections are having on our organization,gradually resulting in a genuine paradigm shift 1.
In this paper, it has beenreview recent E-Learning-related literature associated with the IoT vision. Oneaim is to provide a resource for the E-learners to understand the current stateof research associated with the new IoT agenda. In this section, some of the earlier works on thesubjects have cited. According to Cisco 2, the organizations have alreadyexperienced the Internet of Things (IoT) – the networked connection of things, soonsome capabilities like context awareness, energy independence, and increasedprocessing power are added to these things then IoT becomes IoE (Internet of Everything). Also, according to their research, 99.4 percent ofphysical objects which can be a part of IoE is yet to be connected 3.
Thewhitepaper concludes by saying, “There is tremendous value in connecting theunconnected with intelligent networks across education. This paper demonstratesIoE’s potential impact on making education more relevant, engaging andmotivating learners, and enabling faster time to mastery. However, to realizethe benefits of connecting people, processes, data, and things, reliableconnectivity and continuous access must be guaranteed. Additionally for IoE tobe accepted, both policymakers and educators must be well-prepared not only toexploit but also to understand potential risks.” IoT will enable life-enhancingservices, regarding the role of IoT in education say, “In education,mobile-enabled solutions will tailor the learning process to each student’sneeds, improving overall proficiency levels, while linking virtual and physicalclassrooms to make learning more convenient and accessible 4.
IoT might serveas the backbone for the universal learning environment and enable active smartenvironments to accept and identify objects and retrieve information from theinternet to facilitate their adaptive functionality 5. A learner may gain theknowledge not only by connecting to the learning contents via networks by usingdesktop computers or wireless handheld devices such as Personal DigitalAssistants (PDAs) and mobile phones but also by communicating to themicroprocessors (e.g., RFID – Radio Frequency Identification) embedded indevices.” In the reference paperR, two groups 25 students each were enrolledin a similar course. However, one group was taught using traditional methodsand other using an interactive system of the internet of things. Afterconducting various tests and analysis, they concluded that “Internet ofObjects, applied as a tool to support the teaching process, improves studentacademic performance”.
