Abstract:

IoT (Internet of Things) is being used in different contexts, there are so many applications used for different purpose such as the education, medical, homes, cities, industry and global environment and so on, but this study focused on IoT in education. IoT is a part of information technology in which various types of objects and methods communicate with each other to exchange information. The main purpose of IoT is to transform the objects of real world into virtual objects. From the literature review, it is observed that researchers still report a lot of problems faced by students and teachers in education. So the purpose of this research is to find problems in school education and then solve with the help of IoT technology. In this study to identify problems of education and limitation is this study only in Nawabshah schools through focus group discussions from students, teachers and administration staff. After investigation of identified problems an IoT base framework is proposed which solves different problems of education through IoT tools. In this framework an IoT end device placed in campus which done all works automatically without human intervention. This device consists of some online system tools, camera system an GPS (Global Positioning System). It is concluded from this study that technology is very important tool for all the sectors of society, no any sector gives best performance without the help of technology. From education perspective IoT gives a lot of benefits to the educational organization, it helps in increasing performance of education institutions; enhance quality of education, saving time and budget and so on.
