The development of education determines whether we can ensure continuous technological and cultural progress. As our demands on education continue to rise, an intelligent technology is urgently needed for education. By applying IoT in education, school operational efficiency, campus safety, and quality of education can be improved. MOKOSmart can create iot education solutions for your needs, including developing hardware and software for you. We focuses on sensor and beacon development. Our smart devices can monitor spaces on campus, classroom management, and energy efficiency.
The iot education network allows school administrators to customize security plans using badges, beacons and door and window sensors. IoT network is widely adopted by many schools to create different programs for intruders, severe weather threats, and other security risks. Teachers and students can contact security personnel through a button on the beacon.
When the teacher is lecturing on the platform, he can not always cause the students’ concentration. At this time, the teacher can cause the attention of the students who are dozing with variation of lights. Moreover, the real-time information collected by the Internet of Things can also be used to predict and analyze student activities to build an efficient teaching system.
Lighting and other facilities can be automated. For example, lights could be set to a schedule, or they could be connected to occupancy sensors that turn off when no one is in the classroom. Building efficiency are improved and energy waste is reduced, resulting in cost savings.
In traditional schools, especially those with relatively backward conditions, logistics work is always time-consuming and boring. The Internet of Things helps reduce time and cost spent on manual tasks such as paperwork, money management and material tracking.
IoT systems connects you to and exposes you to schools and universities across the globe. This gives you a platform to interact with global systems and improve the quality of education.
Different spaces in school require different temperature and humidity due to different activities. For example, gymnasium, auditorium or dance studio, and different classrooms have different requirements for temperature and humidity. Especially,a constant temperature is required for labs as there are chemicals restored there. School administrators can connect temperature&humidity sensors in schools through smart sockets. Once the sensors detect abnormal changes, the alarm system will be trigerred. The setting can also be scheduled at specific times of the day. This not only enhance comfort in school, but also allows timely detection of water leaching.
Beacons can be used to improve the efficiency and accuracy of automated attendance. Each one has a badge of their own, and their location is tracked in real time. Once they enter the classroom, their location is reported to the system. In addition to attendance management, beacons also help improve campus security. Once the sensor detects motion into a prohibited area, the alarm will be triggered, many schools detect the intrusion of some foreign people to avoid the occurrence of campus tragedy in this way. More automated tasks mean teachers can focus more on lessons preparation.
Parking beacons can be installed in school garages, including bicycle parking areas. When the school enters the campus, the system will inform the driver where the parking space is empty, and the location of the vehicle can be checked on the software, so there is no need to worry about finding where the vehicle is parked. In addition, school buses in schools can also be fitted with beacons, so that parents can know when the bus will arrive at their door and whether it is safe to arrive at school. Moreover, the EV charging stations can be seen pretty common in campus as well as the sustainable develeopment and environmental protection are the common goal in the society.
School equipment is an important asset. Tablets, rented laptops, lab equipment, teaching materials, and more can be monitored with location beacons and motion sensors. Beacons ensure that assets are placed in the right place and used properly through transparent asset location. School procurement staff can also supply assets according to the number of inventory.
As a large and densely populated place, the daily energy expenditure is not a small amount of money. Growing concerns about global warming require reforms in the education sector to protect limited energy resources. With motion senser, lights can be turned on and off automatically when no one is around. The usage of every facilities can also be monitored in real time after connecting with smart plug. The amount of energy each device uses at a certain time can be monitored, and when some devices exceed the limit of time, an alarm will be triggered to inform the relevant personnel.
By connecting motion sensors and occupancy indicators to the Internet, equipment and room usage can be accessed, especially in spaces such as school libraries or computer labs. The occupation status can be easily be accessed and scheduling is enabled with iot solution. Tracking such data enables those who are managing school to observe and report on how students use particular Spaces and resources.
The traditional notification mode needs to be reformed. The arrival rate of message from notice board and group message is low. But if the beacons are installed on campus, schools can send notifications to students’ mobile phones, and teachers can use the Bluetooth beacons to send reminders of class and assign homework.
The needs and progress of students are the key to improving the employment rate of schools. The traditional education system has low information flow and can not adapt to the current development any more. IoT in education can improve teaching programs by understanding their needs and behaviors, as well as investing related assets and technologies.
The education industry adopted the distance learning model in the beginning of covid-19 breakout, it exposed some disadvantages, that’s why school start socialization again after a period of lockdown. But going social doesn’t mean putting students’ lives at risk. Beacon is widely applied for social distancing, which trigger an alarm when the distance between two people is beyond a safe range. Everyone’s movements can also be tracked in real time, and contacts can be quickly tracked once someone is diagnosed.

The IoT education market was $6.05 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach $26.8 billion by 2028 with a CAGR of 20.06% from 2021 to 2028. There is a growing emphasis on improving operational efficiency and managing connected devices, which implies an increasing in IoT education market.
Key players in the IoT industry are taking various steps such as forming the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) to standardize protocols.
IoT connects devices through network aiming to exchange information with each other, collecting data and controlling processes. As in many areas, the Internet of Things has always had advantages. IoT make great contribution to the educational structure. This is a boon to education. IoT in education implies a collaborative future for education systems. IoT devices compose smart building technologies such as speakers, locks, thermostats, smart lighting, doorbells. They can be connected to each other and controlled centrally through systems such as phones, tablets and computers once the devices are installed. In education, the main benefit of IoT is to make schools safer through the use of custom security plans. These plans make use of connected devices such as door locks, sensors, and digital signage. With the programming and automation of IoT devices, student outcomes is improved and the cost of devices are decreased through IoT in education.
Now that we’ve seen examples of the Internet of Things in education and their benefits, let’s take a look at what challenges these devices may pose and how they can be practiced to mitigate the risks.
Every coin has two sides. IoT education solutions can both enhance the security of educational institutions and become a source of vulnerabilities. For example, In Verizon’s 2017 Data Breach Digest, one university’s network was attacked by 5,000 connected devices on school. The devices “do hundreds of DNS look ups every 15 minutes,” result in slow connections at the university. In addition, ransomware, rogue devices, hardware attacks, device hijacking are also troubling students and parents of several examples.
So how do we overcome this challenge? Unfortunately, there is no foolproof solution yet, but we can be sure that as long as you apply IoT education solutions to your security strategy, it won’t be too much of a problem.
School that want to deploy IoT in education should be prepared for the costs associated with staff training, network connectivity, regular maintenance, etc. Creating a dedicated platform or device will require a capable development team unless the device manufacturer bundles it. All of these will require substantial investment. Unfortunately, not all schools can afford to pay all the costs.
So how to resolve this challenge?
Different devices may have different connection modes. When many devices are connected, they may be incompatible with each other. Some software solutions and operating systems may also be incompatible. So how can this challenge be resolved?
Scalability is one of the most common issues when working with IoT infrastructures. This problem often arises because all potential risks, such as user, feature, or device growth, are not considered during the development phase. Poor scalability can have serious consequences, such as longer maintenance times, latency issues, and unexpectedly high overhead.
So what’s the countermeasure of this challenge?
Compare to secondary schools, colleges and universities can benefit more from the utilization of IoT solutions. Aside from the incorporations above, university students are provided more learning opportunities with innovative IoT applications. Young people are available to a wide range of courses such as engineering, programming, literature, etc. with which they could select with ease and interest.
Moreover, IoT solutions offer asset tracking capabilities to professors and faculty members, allowing them to keep an eye on the device to ensure it’s in the right place, which helps a lot in the lab and library. Also, students and staff can easily find out if a conference room or study space is occupied, simply by pairing their smartphone or laptop with IoT occupancy sensors.
The sudden attack of the COVID19 pandemic has had an unexpected domino effect on all parts worldwide. As a result of the crisis, schools have had to shuttered their doors, and distance learning has become the most common phenomenon for students of all grades. Meanwhile, teachers and students have had to adapt to the shift to remote learning, which relies heavily on the support of IoT technology.
To some extent, the coronavirus outbreak has just accelerated the gradual shift to distance learning in terms of IoT technology, and companies were in their attempt to grab the bigger pie in response. As large companies expand their services to schools, it’s important that schools can implement the distance learning solutions seamlessly and easily.
However, there are also some inevitable obstacles to online education. On the one hand, children’s social and play abilities are limited by the online environment, which is not conducive to their emotional and social intelligence. On the other hand, distance learning also limits the teacher’s ability to read a student’s body language, making it impossible for the teacher to make a proper assessment of the student. Furthermore, while these new IoT devices are available to most students, low-income students are still struggling to meet basic needs such as a reliable internet connection.
IoT is rapidly molding and evolving itself within the education sector at a blooming pace. While some educational institutions have experienced early adoption and are exploring the implementation of IoT solutions, as well as others are continuing to invest in IoT technologies to determine how they will shape the future of education.
Although the education sector is not yet at the forefront of IoT adoption, it’s optimistic that the IoT technology will be implemented broadly across schools in the coming years. There’s still some time to go before students can enjoy the latest IoT applications in every single school and classroom, but we’re certainly sure that the smart school of tomorrow is on the way and will post students a completely new way to engage themselves in studying.
