The rapidly developing technological landscape challenges require educational institutions to constantly renew the school's digital infrastructure in order to keep students engaged in learning difficult subjects such as Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of such new technology platforms that could help the schools enhance learning processes with innovative resources, and to increase students' motivation to learn. This paper summarizes the first stage of a design-based research focusing on introducing IoT technologies to secondary education. Five kits of IoT devices were co-designed by researchers, teachers, and students, to optimize their match with the curricular objectives, cost, learning curve, and re-usability in various educational contexts. The study included three steps: (1) mapping out the IoT devices on the basis of the desk research, (2) literature review on STEM education practices, and (3) two focus group interviews with teachers and students from different schools. As a result of the study, five different kits of IoT devices were purchased for schools and pilot-tested in real-life settings.

Learning is not only happening at schools, but also done out of schools even during the students" free time such as resting on the bed or on the chair. These times can be managed in order to review courses based on Ebbinghaus forgetting curve. Lack of reviewing system, having trouble with making an accurate review plan, checking the review plan and not spending time on review, cause the students to forget courses soon and easily. This proposed system which is self-regulatory, helps students to review their courses while resting, through adapting internet of things technology, cloud computing and mobile learning. IOT sensors monitor the student" situation and Gathered data is sent to the cloud server, stored and then analyzed to find out if the student is resting or not. Reviewcourses are stored in a cloud server, selected according to reviewcourses-priorities which is made based on Ebbinghaus forgetting curve and then sent to the student"s cellphone and played without the student"s involvement and effort. Our assumption is that by employing internet of the things technology in order to review courses in the resting time, learning level will increase. Allowing the students to devote more time to review, engaging the students , selflearning, continuous learning process, reduction in waste of talent and time, loss of learning motivation and memory are the system"s benefits.Internet of the Things (IOT) is a paradigm that is based on the idea of pervasive presence around us of interconnected objects such as Radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, sensors, actuators, cellphones, etc., which are uniquely addressed, have interaction based on standard protocols [27] in order to reach their common goal [39], bring happiness to life [37], enable innovative application [31] and share data over the networks, with or without human intervention [22].

“…Such interaction data can be used for diverse purposes such as learning path design and learning content recommendations [4,5,10]. So far, many studies have been done to utilize IoT technology in education, which includes IoT-based interaction systems [5], learning content recommendation systems [4], and learning frameworks [11]. In these IoT-based educational systems, various multimedia content available on the web or the social network service (SNS) is provided to the learners through the physical devices and usually they perform diverse actions on the contents and the devices.…”

Constructing Differentiated Educational Materials Using Semantic Annotation for Sustainable Education in IoT Environments

Recently, Internet of Things (IoT) technology has become a hot trend and is used in a wide variety of fields. For instance, in education, this technology contributes to improving learning efficiency in the class by enabling learners to interact with physical devices and providing appropriate learning content based on this interaction. Such interaction data can be collected through the physical devices to define personal data. In the meanwhile, multimedia contents in this environment usually have a wide variety of formats and standards, making it difficult for computers to understand their meaning and reuse them. This could be a serious obstacle to the effective use or sustainable management of educational contents in IoT-based educational systems. In order to solve this problem, in this paper, we propose a semantic annotation scheme for sustainable computing in the IoT environment. More specifically, we first show how to collect appropriate multimedia contents and interaction data. Next, we calculate the readability of learning materials and define the user readability level to provide appropriate contents to the learners. Finally, we describe our semantic annotation scheme and show how to annotate collected data using our scheme. We implement a prototype system and show that our scheme can achieve efficient management of various learning materials in the IoT-based educational system.
