Education 4.0 – Jump to Innovation with IoT in Higher Education

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) will play a key role in Higher Education. Our contribution leads the road to innovation within IoT for Education 4.0, using a system comprising smartwatch data, health data, learning analytics and Artificial Intelligence. By using embedded sensors from wearable devices, we can add value to Education 4.0. Smartwatches are IoT devices, equipped with a multitude of embedded sensors collecting distraction-free huge amounts of real-time data during students' learning. In our paper we highlight advantages of wrist-based wearables like smartwatches for Education 4.0. We develop a User Experience Questionnaire for the measurement of acceptance of advanced electronic technology in Higher Education. We identify as experiment's results the most important sensors and protocols for Education 4.0.
