A study on enhanced educational platform with adaptive sensing devices using IoT features

There are plenty of digital education tools to provide additional assistance for conducting lecture class in university. For instance, online video source (e.g., YouTube) provides practical coding exercise for web application development, interactive communication channel (e.g., Google Hangout) provides platform for distance learning. However, these tools are rarely to be connected with a real-life environmental conditions. An advanced education system shall consider students attendance, activities and intention to pay attention as a part of assessment and provide appropriate education tools to improve the education quality. Therefore, there is an urge to adopt recent Internet of Technology (IoT) to detect and sense the environmental condition (e.g., room temperature, student activities) and produce necessary reaction (e.g, air condition control, awake overslept students). In this paper, we propose an integrated platform by utilizing the advanced IoT devices to improve the quality of education. Several IoT controller boards capabilities and features are described and compared for realizing the IoT solution in educational platform.
