Internet of Things: Implications for Open and Distance Learning
- 1. Internet of Things Implications for Open and Distance Learning Refresher Programme on ICT in ODL for the teachers and Academics of Indira Gandhi National Open University July 18 to August 10, 2016 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Internet_of_Things.jpg R C Sharma
- 2. Definition… The internet of things (IoT) is the network of physical devices, vehicles, buildings and other items— embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and network connectivity that enable these objects to collect and exchange data. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_of_things http://www.mdpi.com/1999-5903/8/2/18 Term was coined in 1999 by Kevin Ashton
- 3. How it behaves? • The IoT allows objects to be sensed and controlled remotely across existing network infrastructure, creating opportunities for more direct integration of the physical world into computer-based systems, and resulting in improved efficiency, accuracy and economic benefit. • When IoT is augmented with sensors and actuators, the technology becomes an instance of the more general class of cyber-physical systems, which also encompasses technologies such as smart grids, smart homes, intelligent transportation and smart cities. • Each thing is uniquely identifiable through its embedded computing system but is able to interoperate within the existing Internet infrastructure. • Experts estimate that the IoT will consist of almost 50 billion objects by 2020.

- 23. What exactly is the Internet of Things? A whole constellation of inanimate objects is being designed with built-in wireless connectivity, so that they can be monitored, controlled and linked over the Internet via a mobile app. - http://www.recode.net/2015/1/15/11557782/a-beginners- guide-to-understanding-the-internet-of-things
- 25. Connected world • The types of objects span a wide range of categories, from wearables to light bulbs to home appliances (like the coffee maker, washing machine, and even your car) — really, anything. • IoT is also being applied to vertical markets like the medical and health- care industry and to transportation systems.

- 28. 99 % of things not connected …
- 29. IoT in Education • Expected to increase multifold, due to two reasons: • 1. Increase in Online and blended learning • 2. Increase in Tech use in classrooms http://blog.capterra.com/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-internet-of-things- for-education/
- 30. Smart things … • Smart Schools • Smart devices • Smart Phones • Smart Boards • Smart Machines http://www.slideshare.net/gatordkim/snail-project-for-iot-connectivity
- 33. Applications … • Automatic tracking of attendance • Digital administration of testing • Online tracking of transport • Inventory management • Tracking well-being through smart wrist bands • Monitoring of airflow, air quality, temperature and humidity • eBooks and tablets • Sensors in the hallways, entrances, classroom spaces • virtual and augmented reality headsets • Smart display
- 34. IoT into the Curriculum • Arduino • Raspberry Pi • Inspires creativity • Career opportunities in Data Sciences
- 35. Internet enabled technology in education • MOOCs • Educational apps on Smart phones • Schools software • Cloud for storage • Cloud for collaboration • Cloud for access http://www.redjumper.net/blog/2015/04/apple-publish-for-education- collection-on-the-app-store/
- 36. Special needs students • A visually impaired student after using such an IoT device can able to read the text on his computer easily without asking for a second person’s help. • This can aid to his/her self-confidence to yield better productivity. http://www.remosoftware.com/info/iot-revolutionizes-education
- 37. Faster Learning Digital highlighter wirelessly transfers printed text into an application or web browser -- it is 30 times faster than if you were to write by hand. This tool does not only apply to education; but it can also be used by lawyers, researchers etc. http://scanmarker.com/
- 38. For Teachers … • From designing the curriculum, to teaching, to grading papers and communicating with parents • easier sharing and more collaboration amongst teachers
- 39. Uses
- 40. Uses A museum-based project -QRator,16 led by University College London (UCL) allows visitors to type their interpretations of museum objects into their mobile phones using a special application and then send their information to the museum, where their interpretations become part of the object’s history via an interactive label system, which displays their comments next to the artifacts.
- 41. Uses • Access to real-time information and engagement with experts truly impacts learning. One example is the Cleveland Clinic18 in Ohio, where human biology is taught to secondary schools through video conferencing based laparoscopic surgery. One surgeon talks about the features and functions of the heart and the procedure while another performs the surgery. At the same time, students can ask questions. The result is increased motivation, with more learners aspiring to become nurses, doctors, or medical technicians. (CISCO, 2013)

- 44. Mobile Learning • With the IoT institutions can give students full-time access to educational tools. • The ability to share content digitally with both teachers and peers encourages collaboration and engagement.
