Smart Education Using Internet of Things Technology
Palanivel Kuppusamy (Pondicherry University, India)
DOI: 10.4018/978-1-5225-8446-9.ch017
Abstract
Smart education is now a typical feature in education emerging from information communications technologies (ICT) and the constant introduction of new technologies into institutional learning. The smart classroom aims users to develop skills, adapt, and use technologies in a learning context that produces elevated learning outcomes which leads to big data. The internet of things (IoT) is a new technology in which objects equipped with sensors, actuators, and processors communicate with each other to serve a meaningful purpose. The technologies are rapidly changing, and designing for these situations can be complex. Designing the IoT applications is a challenging issue. The existing standardization activities are often redundant IoT development. The reference architecture provides a solution to smart education for redundant design activities. The purpose of this chapter is to look at the requirements and architectures required for smart education. It is proposed to design a scalable and flexible IoT architecture tor smart education (IoTASE).

Towards Equity and Inclusion Excellence Using Diverse Interventions
The learning environment, sometimes referred to as the learning context, is the whole environment and context that surrounds the students during the school day. It is where all learning happens. It is the physical, psychosocial, and pedagogic/didactical environment. The physical environment includes the rooms, indoor and outdoor, where education activities take place. It is how rooms are organized and includes the acoustics and lighting in the rooms. The learning environment also includes school and class size and the resources that are available. The psychosocial environment is about trust, relationships, and mental health. It is participation, interaction, attitudes, culture, and communication. The pedagogical/didactical environment is the art of teaching, the didactics, and concrete phenomena such as instructions, materials, tasks, and learning activities, also known as artefacts.

Development, Sustainment, and Scaling of Self-Regulated Learning Analytics: Prediction Modeling and Digital Student Success Initiatives in University Contexts
Addressed in this chapter and further described by Matcha and colleagues in recommended additional readings, a learning environment includes the digital technology platform on which a learner engages in a task and the instructional design of the task. The learning goal set out by the designer, instructor, or learner and the assessment practices used to evaluate performance will determine the types of learning resources provided to the learner, and these will vary across the course sites on a learning management system. Tracing learning events is thus context-dependent, and definitions will vary from one environment to the next.
