ICT and internet of things for creating smart learning environment for students at education institutes in India

Abstract

Educational institutes have gone beyond the traditional way of learning by accepting the latest technologies and modern trends, making learning more innovative. The interactive technologies and Instant communication services have transformed the methods adopted for education into a more interactive, visualizable and accessible means. Education institutes in India, are in a process of adopting innovative techniques for creating a smart learning environment to nurture young talent. But according to National Survey findings, 13 out of every 100 Indians between 5–29 years drop out or refrain from going to school, as they do not consider education “necessary”. In this paper, we will discuss about how academic learning can be made reachable and motivating for the students using ICT and IoT, besides introducing them to their core subjects with interactive ways of Smart learning. Information Communication Technology promises a wide range of applications and devices for learning environments, whereas Internet of things is all about connecting devices, making them smart and self-controllable.
