Integrated Intelligent Education System using Adaptive IoT Technology

Abstract

The Internet has transformed its original form into connecting objects from a medium of connecting networks, people, institutions, and countries. The new Internet of Things technology allowed the physical objects to interact, exchange information, and even monitor each other through sensors, code, and networking protocols, what we see around us, and what we are around. Such technological advancement brought about a sudden paradigm shift, just like other industries, even in the education system in the form of e-learning, m-learning, i-learning, mlearning, u-learning, o-learning, etc. The word education is slowly transforming as 'smart education', ‘intelligent-education’, ‘online education’, ‘smart education’, ‘ubiquitous education’, etc. By delivering enhanced teaching-learning experience, streamlining operative effectiveness, and providing real-time, cognizance into the performance of students’, educational institutions are capable of enhancing teaching-learning experience through IoT. A theoretical model is presented in this paper aimed at automating every entity of the education system and the elements involved in it to enrich and improve, as well as change, the knowledge ecosystem's end-to-end  learning lifecycle. The proposed model ‘autonomous intelligent smart ubiquitous campus’ for IoT based education environment discusses various functional entities of the central digital nerve system of the HE campus with their perspectives and challenges in a real-world scenario. Also, it provides a conceptual framework designed to encapsulate the modules of the system within an already existing or new campus environment.
