IoT Demonstration Platform for Education and Research Internet of things (IoT) and digitalization of industries are changing the skills required from newly graduated engineers. To truly master these skills, they must be included in the curriculum, and a platform on which students can create IoT projects is needed. The research of IoT and related areas also benefits from such a platform. The platform presented in this paper focuses on a simple coffee maker but applies techniques and tools which are also used in larger scale projects, thereby making the system a valid solution for education. The devices and tools applied must be selected to satisfy education and research requirements. The proposed platform is built on IBM Cloud, and it uses Raspberry Pi as an edge device. Handson experience with a real IoT platform brings definite advantages that may otherwise be difficult to achieve.

Towards Designing Smart Learning Environments with IoT Internet of Things is a rapidly growing network of a variety of different connected objects. Now, because of their ubiquitous nature, educational institutions are looking to incorporate IoTs technologies in teaching and learning activities. This paper contributes to the ongoing discussion on the benefits and challenges of incorporating IoTs in education. More precisely, it provides (i) a summary that reports on results of a systematic literature review we conducted on IoT in education along with a framework for describing and classifying scenarios that involve IoTs for education, (ii) a demonstration of a tool we developed to provide an adaptive learning experience in response to a remote learnerxe2x80x99s emotions, and (iii) a discussion on three domainrelated quality requirements to consider when designing IoTs applications for education; namely, security, scalability and humanization.
