Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are in the process of experiencing the Internet of Things (IoT) disrupting numerous aspects of our everyday lives. The IoT enables devices other than computers and smartphones to be connected to the Internet. It is noteworthy that education is on the list of IoT applications, although it may seem non-intuitive. In this era, we cannot deny the significance of understanding digital technology. Microcontrollers, sensors, actuators, and MEMS are considered the building blocks of the IoT. Today's technology leaders are focusing nearly all their attention on integrating these technologies into commodities. It is becoming increasingly important for our society to educate itself about the developments in digital technology and ubiquitous computing, regardless of its core areas of expertise. In contrast, it is of paramount importance to prepare students enrolled in educational institutions in order to take advantage of these technologies. Many firms will be seeking candidates who are knowledgeable about the most up-to-date technology. In this context, the IoT and artificial intelligence (AI) have created an incredible ecosystem for new opportunities in the higher education sector. In this Special Issue, we highlight the transformative impact of IoT and AI on education. Considering that open-source IoT platforms can help foster creativity, the new strategies in education must be easy to use and accessible to all stakeholders (students, teachers, families, and end users). The development of educational curricula must incorporate various perspectives of teaching and education in order to meet the literacy requirements for a smart society.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- IoT platforms and technologies for teaching in the classroom.
- Higher education and the future of IoT.
- New technologies, systems, approaches and IoT tools in educational contexts.
- Study of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in education.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
