Teachers can utilize smart whiteboards or other presenting technologies to identify precisely where in the lesson their pupils are struggling if a student loses concentration.
Fremont, CA: The Internet of Things (IoT) in education is changing traditional learning in more ways than we can fathom, and it will keep doing so in the years to come. Examples include interactive whiteboards and smart cards used to access physical areas on school campuses.
Ways IoT is revolutionizing education.
• Increased Student Engagement
According to studies, students learn quicker when just 20 percent of the information is challenging and fresh, and the remaining 80 percent is based on prior knowledge. The inability of teachers to determine with certainty what their pupils have already learned or how swiftly they are absorbing new content is one of the challenges they encounter when creating lesson plans. Teachers can detect when their students are listening, progressing through the curriculum, and when they have stalled out using continuous data collecting from IoT technologies. In a Zoom breakout room or a big lecture hall, teachers may utilize AI Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to recognize and categorize students' facial expressions so that they can be informed when a student has lost interest. Teachers can utilize smart whiteboards or other presenting technologies to identify exactly where in the lesson their pupils are struggling if a student loses concentration.
• Tailored, Student-Centered Curriculums
Since the Covid-19 pandemic began, personalized education has gained popularity as individuals realize that a conventional "one size fits all" educational paradigm does not work for everyone. As opposed to irrelevant, whole-class content, teachers can utilize data from IoT sensors to construct relevant courses tailored to each student's requirements. Using intelligent teaching robots that adapt the pace and substance of the curriculum based on how accurately students respond to questions is one approach to achieve this. The use of IoT in education to develop student-centered curricula gives instructors a greater understanding of what it is. It needs to be fixed in the classroom so that they may improve their teaching even more.
• Immersive Language Learning Experiences
In many schools, learning a second or third language is becoming standard practice, but the process—whether through a course or an app—can be intimidating. Students can utilize VR goggles to immerse themselves in the reality of the language they are studying rather than stumbling through online courses and "realistic" speaking websites. Students can engage with animated characters and speak the target language while wearing VR goggles. Students can virtually visit nations where the language they are studying is spoken and get steeped in that nation's culture.
