Socio-economics and educational case study with cost-effective IOT campus by the use of wearable, tablet, cloud and open E-learning services

In this paper the authors show a case study reporting educational experiences in a Japanese university's digital campus supported by the cost-performance improvement in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) including electronic devices and networks. The authors also report the use of wristband wearable devices to monitor walking and sleeping habits of a student and the influence on health consciousness. Considering education effectively on campus has become important in every country and area worldwide. In this regard, we have conducted a socio-economics case study with cost-effective ICT and Internet of Things (IoT) devices including tablet PC, wearable and e-learning services. In order to promote educational innovation regardless of economic and political status of each country, the standardization is urgent and important concerning education methods with advanced technologies. We propose ITU to study best practices in education in terms of network, devices, applications, contents and teaching methods. ITU should seek the quality of education methods including managing operational aspects like ISO 9001 Quality management and ISO/IEC 27001 Information security management. In this paper our case study consists of two parts, a deployment of large-scale tablet PCs and a successful improvement in student's Body Mass Index (BMI) implemented by wearable devices as a basic condition for study attitude.
