The Internet of Things in E-Learning
Abstract: The Problem: The Internet of Things (IoT) is the next phase of innovation technology and educational applications over the next decade. While capabilities are increasing there are still a number of challenges and limited application framework for utilizing these technologies within an e-learning environment. What Was Done: This work in progress showcase paper develops an application framework for the underlying technologies, contexts, and services that can be developed in e-learning, where IoT applications are anticipated to grow at an increasing rate over the next decade. Why this Work is Important: E-learning entities and platforms have been under increased pressure due to critics and government based on completion rates, costs, employment, and career readiness. New technologies and IoT applications can be leveraged to further enhance e-learning platforms and improve completion, reduce costs, and improve learning outcomes for careers.
