Abstract

The applications of Internet of Things (IoT) have shown to be pervasive in various sectors. However, IoT applications in education sector have not been as aggressive as in other sectors. Nevertheless, it does not negate the apparent benefit and impact of the IoT implementation in the education sector. In this paper, we explore some existing IoT applications in education sector in recent years to give a bird's eye view to prospective readers. We find that IoT implementation in education sector has different facets, from smart learning environment to instrumented toys. Applications are explored at each level of the academic sector, from preschool level up to tertiary academic level. We also make some predictions on the IoT development in education area based on the current technology advancement. In order to consolidate the existing research that are essentially focusing on a single objective to enhance learning, we consider the term "Internet of Education Things"(IoEdT) as a group of technologies contributing to a better learning environment and learning process that may range from making smarter campuses to monitoring education process.
