Abstract:
Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a developing and prevalent trend which provides connectivity between a huge number of objects (things) by using innovative features of the Radio Frequency Identification and Wireless Sensor networks technologies. As IoT develops, it is being expanded in magnitude and scope, reshaping the context of human life. Education is one of the most popular areas in our life where IoT can have an influence on. The educational process can be implemented and tracked by making use of the IoT objects and devices. In this work, an educational component is proposed in order to include it in the IoT simulation toolkits. A four-block module containing educative objects is designed and proposed. The module includes the smart elements, such as smart backpack, IoT school check in, smart desk and whiteboard. The final model design includes the procedures, methodology, block design and functions of each element. The paper shows that the IoT educational components can provide a novel and flexible virtual platform which can take advantage of the IoT features in the learning system.
