Abstract
. The article discusses the introduction of the Internet of things in the
educational sphere, which will help in the development of future professional activities.
In this article, we saw the many applications of IoT in the education sector and
discussed the various benefits that students and educators receive from the built-in IoT
ecosystem. By integrating sensors and mobile devices into a building, IoT can
transform classrooms.

The development of a digital society is inextricably linked to the level of
introduction of the latest technologies into the educational process. The synergy of
innovative solutions and a new philosophy in education forms the basis of "smart"
education (Smart Education). The use of the concept of the Internet of Things makes
the educational process more interactive, which means that in recent years, following
the development of the Internet of Things, one of the most advanced trends in IT
technologies, IoT no longer treats its component "smart devices" as new toys. An army
of smartphones, sensors, webcams, GPS navigators and other technologies connected
to the network is able to solve problems in various fields - from production and
agriculture to medicine and everyday life. Although the use of well-known "smart"
devices such as Smart TVs, fitness trackers or "drones" (unmanned aerial vehicles) is
not yet widespread in schools or universities, there are a number of other specialized
IoT devices.
They make the learning process more flexible and lively, allowing the teacher or
trainer to receive feedback from each student, unlike the traditional two-way
communication form of education. At the same time, "smart" devices do not reduce
their role at all, but serve as a kind of intellectual assistant. With the advent of wireless
communication and the concept of IoT, it has become possible to turn such usual
attributes of the educational process as desks, blackboards, and even classrooms or
auditoriums into virtual assistants for teachers and students. With the help of embedded
IoT devices, they will be able to focus more on the educational process, without being
distracted by various and interesting distractions. The possibilities of the Internet of
Things concept allow programming various devices and applications included in the
IoT educational platform for specific tasks. At the same time, they free teachers and
trainers from many functions that are not typical for them, especially administrative
ones, which allows them to devote more time to the educational process itself.

Of course, there is still a long way to go before the mass use of IoT devices in
education, and even developed countries cannot boast of the complete digitalization of
educational institutions. However, the increase in the number of devices connected to
the Internet, their diversity, as well as the improvement of wireless communication,
undoubtedly have a positive impact on both higher and primary education contributes
to the gradual change of the concept of. And this process is being actively implemented
today. Many university teachers, like school teachers, complain about significant time
losses on various organizational issues, such as, for example, registering absenteeism,
checking homework, distributing new ones, etc. . Automation of individual procedures
makes it possible to reduce the noted losses. Among the "smart assistants" that have
already taken root in the education sector, we note the following: • electronic bracelets
that allow you to monitor attendance and transfer individual assignments of students;
• "smart" desks, electronic whiteboards equipped with touchscreens;
• webcams and virtual classrooms for online broadcasting of lectures.
In addition, various recommendation services and decision support systems (DSS)
have proven themselves well. For example, registration of students or pupils can be
carried out using a “smart” device, such as a bracelet that uses ECG patterns for
authentication. Brain activity can be analyzed using a special gadget that works
according to EEG technology and determines the consumption of cognitive energy of
the student. The data is transmitted to the teacher’s device, which determines whether
the student is really working on the task or is just pretending to be. Special applications
can also be used to solve behavioral problems. We have all studied somewhere at some
point and, even if it is fair, we remember well how unpleasant it is to “hear a joke”
from the “teacher” in front of everyone. People around you will notice this, and in
addition to losing your reputation, you will also lose the academic time allocated for
studying a particular subject.
The way out of this situation may be the use of the “silent messages” mode, i.e.
the ability to send messages about the student’s behavior to a personal bracelet or tablet,
thus reducing public discontent and eliminating possible direct hostility. Special
software allows you to analyze the dynamics of the behavior of a particular student or
pupil during their studies and create a personal image of him, which will be very useful
both for teachers who are just starting out and for those who are not familiar with a
particular audience. Of course, in today's concept of education, such methods of
“student-teacher” relationships may not seem very useful, but when our life becomes
“digital”, they will be quite appropriate and applicable. As a result, with the help of
IoT technologies, the teacher can also stop performing administrator functions and
devote more time to working directly with students, putting secondary issues in the
background.
Of course, educational institutions in countries with modern wireless

infrastructure and appropriate funds can fully use the capabilities of IoT today. But
gradually this trend will begin to prevail and determine the demand for a new
philosophy of education. Economic processes in developed industrial countries show
that there is always a high demand for new knowledge and forms of its acquisition.
Today, businesses can be created by people with a high level of creative abilities, quick
decision-making, the ability to work in a team and, of course, technical training. At the
same time, they must constantly study in accordance with the changing range of tasks.
Thus, modern education is considered an investment, an asset, the formation and
capitalization of which must be managed. IoT plays a significant role in transforming
the traditional education system. There is a wide range of IoT applications in education.
Let's look at a few areas where IoT can be applied in education.
1.
Energy consumption management
The Internet of Things can be used to manage energy consumption by installing
IoT sensors in lights and water taps. With the help of the IoT ecosystem, energy and
water usage can be monitored, creating a healthy learning environment.
2.
Security and remote access to the classroom
Creating a safe and secure environment for students, which is one of the main
challenges of the education system, can be achieved by choosing an IoT ecosystem.
Embedded technologies such as NFC (Near Field Communication) can be used to
manage students and access different parts of the student campus, such as laboratories
and other places in the educational institution. In addition, student attendance can be
recorded using RFID tags embedded in each student's ID card.

Wearable devices can continuously monitor a student’s health and detect
physiological signals over time. Using the Internet of Things, it can detect signs of
depression and suicide in students, thus giving them enough time to prevent any
tragedy.
In addition, the system takes into account individual health information such
as medical history, blood pressure, and prescriptions to identify any signs of a
particular student’s health deterioration and alerts students and their parents via a
mobile app, notifying them of any potential risks.
4. Educational Apps and Interactive Learning
Educational apps facilitate adaptation and allow students to determine their
own path in how subject knowledge is presented. From home computers to televisions,
students can access educational content live on multiple channels while on sick leave.
Certain apps can be used to create three-dimensional (3D) graphic textbooks that
include video content and notes. Now, there is no need to write notes on paper, thanks
to advances in the field of IoT, students can read them out loud, and a voice app
converts speech into text and stores them in a digital notebook.
Conclusion
-
In this article, we have reviewed the many applications of IoT in education
and discussed the various benefits that an established IoT ecosystem offers to
students and teachers. By integrating sensors and mobile devices into buildings,
IoT has the potential to transform classrooms.
- The Internet of Things has created a unique opportunity to engage students,
teach, and learn. In the near future, the Internet of Things will permeate most of the
education system.
