“…Other authors have published their experiences developing this type of project during the global pandemic, such as [33], where motivation remained very high, without dropouts, and the experience was successfully concluded. Also, in the area of electronics, different experiences have been published related to robotics laboratories [34], circuits with operational amplifiers using interactive environments [35], Internet of things (IoT) [36], and architecture and hardware with Arduino [37,38], like this case of study. Comparing the results obtained in the proposed case study with these others published in the area, equivalent conclusions are observed in all cases.…”

Practical activities and laboratories, where the students handle hardware devices, are an important part of the curriculum in STEAM degrees. In face-to-face learning, the students go to a specific classroom where the hardware is available. However, laboratories are one of the challenges of distance education, due to the impossibility of the students attending classes at a certain place. This is especially relevant since the COVID-19 pandemic, thanks to the increase of students enrolled in distance education. Different approaches to tackle this problem have been adopted, ranging from mixed models where lectures are online but physical attendance to laboratories is required to purely virtual models where virtual worlds or augmented reality have been used to simulate the real hardware. This paper presents the case of study of a flexible laboratory for the use of Arduino in a Computer Technology course with 153 students, geographically distributed in Spain and Latin America. The goal of the case study is to study the impact of such a flexible laboratory in the course, based on four fundamental parameters: student access to the online lectures, participation in the course and marks obtained, and satisfaction surveys. The results show that students have increased their marks by 28.8% and their class attendance by 247.18%, doing more elaborate and complex work than in previous courses. Therefore, it is considered that they have satisfactorily integrated the knowledge acquired during the subject, and the projects with Arduino in Computer Technology have an impact on the flexibility and personalization of the education, motivate students and increase its educational productivity and effect on the quality of education, influencing the learning experience.

This article gauges Saudi universities’ readiness to integrate the Internet of Things (IoT) in knowledge management (KM) and identifies the challenges relating to its use. A descriptive–analytical approach was used to discuss the concepts, development, and general structure that characterize the IoT and its related challenges and to find ways to address them. This study used a three-axis questionnaire, which was applied to 275 faculty members and information technology officials in Saudi universities. The results revealed that a strategy related to the development of infrastructure and the provision of equipment and applications to deal with and analyze big data is needed, besides the conviction of the faculty and specialists in its potential in developing the teaching and learning environment in universities and providing unique research by interlinking the network of laboratories and research and training laboratories. The results also revealed that its effects on the university learning environment are gender, rank, and experience agonistic. Finally, 12 main criteria and 44 sub-applications were reached to manage the smart campus’s information generated by the IoT.

“…The importance of single board architectures integrating sensors technologies and their applications has led to different tutorials, overviews, reviews and surveys papers being reported in the literature, included on-line publications, white papers, webinars and different aspects, topics and points of view: SoC technologies, process capacity, characteristics, power and number of I/O, in terms of cost, control flexibility, among others. In this sense SBAs and ISTs for visual sensor networks are revised and analyzed in [ 87 , 88 ], transport technologies and related applications in [ 89 , 90 ] including tracking, monitoring and lighting in [ 91 , 92 , 93 , 94 , 95 , 96 , 97 , 98 ], SBAs and ISTs for smart cities applications in [ 99 , 100 ], education and research projects in [ 101 , 102 , 103 , 104 , 105 ], medical devices in [ 106 , 107 , 108 ], smart and advanced sensors in [ 109 , 110 , 111 , 112 , 113 ], including wireless sensors [ 114 ], IoT applications in [ 115 , 116 , 117 , 118 ], smart home in [ 119 , 120 , 121 , 122 ], energy in [ 123 , 124 , 125 ], engineering education in [ 126 , 127 , 128 ], Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV) and Plug-in-Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) in [ 129 ,…”

Development boards, Single-Board Computers (SBCs) and Single-Board Microcontrollers (SBMs) integrating sensors and communication technologies have become a very popular and interesting solution in the last decade. They are of interest for their simplicity, versatility, adaptability, ease of use and prototyping, which allow them to serve as a starting point for projects and as reference for all kinds of designs. In this sense, there are innumerable applications integrating sensors and communication technologies where they are increasingly used, including robotics, domotics, testing and measurement, Do-It-Yourself (DIY) projects, Internet of Things (IoT) devices in the home or workplace and science, technology, engineering, educational and also academic world for STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) skills. The interest in single-board architectures and their applications have caused that all electronics manufacturers currently develop low-cost single board platform solutions. In this paper we realized an analysis of the most important topics related with single-board architectures integrating sensors. We analyze the most popular platforms based on characteristics as: cost, processing capacity, integrated processing technology and open-source license, as well as power consumption (mA@V), reliability (%), programming flexibility, support availability and electronics utilities. For evaluation, an experimental framework has been designed and implemented with six sensors (temperature, humidity, CO2/TVOC, pressure, ambient light and CO) and different data storage and monitoring options: locally on a μSD (Micro Secure Digital), on a Cloud Server, on a Web Server or on a Mobile Application.
