1. INTRODUCTION
Internet of things (IOT) is a prevalent technology that
provides communication and collaboration between the
physical and virtual objects .The main structure of Internet
of things is based on the data sensed by sensors, tags or
actuators and sending it through a gateway to a cloud
system. The IOT classrooms in the futureincludethesensors
to validate the access of the educatorsandstudents.Theuser
can be detected physically by using smart white board sand
desks will be furnished with the RFID or WSN devices.
Internet of things can provide the efficient connection
between all things physically and virtually. This allows the
educative objects, such as students, connecting -online- to
the labs, library, didactic materials, assessments, and
educational messagesandadministrativetasksinanefficient
manner (effective e-learning) in a large-size virtual
classroom.

refers to applying electronic tools, soft and hardware
applications and web-based processes in the learning
system. IOT can provide huge platform for learners and
instructors with a wide variety of distance learning devices
and object. IOT can be used in various ways such as
classroom, e-learning, for attendance of e-class.
2. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The main aim of this research paper is to find the technology
used for smart leaning Using IOT
2.1 Smart Teaching
Smart teaching is an online teaching process which is much
efficient from chalk and talk method. Here the teacher uses
online devices or presentations or videos for imparting
knowledge within students.
It helps the learner to find aspects supported the large
alternative on the market. It also provides the quality 24*7
2.2 Smart Learning
Smart learning is a procedure of learning the things with the
assistance of e-devices. Here the student will gain
proficiency with the perspectives all the time dependent on
student accessibility. It encourage customized learning.
Intelligent technologies, such as cloud computing, learning
analytics, big data, Internet of things (IOT), wearable
technology, etc., promote the materialization of smart
education.
Significance of IOT based e-learning applications are we can
share class notes to outside of the classrooms utilizing IOT
based eLearning framework. It makes a virtual classroom
where numerous students of various study hall in various
locale can adapt effectively. IOT basede-learningframework
can make a competiveness among local and universal
learners.
Smart learning environment consists of software tools i.e.
online resources, messaging, blog resources, social network,
and analytical and virtualization tools and hardware i.e.

interactive whiteboard, smartphone,tabletandsmartobject
like smart table and e-bag etc. It helps students to learn any
time at anywhere.
The information pull approach upgrades the learning
capacity and personal knowledge. This methodology
encourages the studentwithsatisfactoryimplicitandexplicit
information. It improves their intra and inter personal
information arrange by utilizing hubs/gadgets/thingsinthe
system. This will offer analyst to grow new technique and
teacher can learn and all the more successfully and all the
more effectively. A student is called smart learner when
he/she collaborate with the framework by smart gadgets.

2.3 Smart Classroom
This is a site of learning and educating. It's the spot of in
general educational exercises. Here the picking up,
educating, evaluation happens in all respects differentlyand
effectively. Normally, smart class comprise of the e-devices,
for example, an advanced screen, projector, and Internet-
empowered gadgets.
IOT based attendance system, if every student has a RFID
appended ID card. Every classroom contains a RFIDperuser
which peruses every ID cards for update their attendance
which makes a smart study roll call study. Also,utilizingNFC
(NearFieldCommunication) basedattendancesystem where
every learner has NFC inserted cell phoneanda NFCscanner
is put in the front of the class. The NFC per user read every
ID card through his/her cell phone and it store data in the
server.
Fig-2: Smart Board Using IOT
Smart classrooms are consisting of varioustypeofhardware
and software module. The technologies used are Projector,
laptop, smart phone, wall screen, smart board, Document
camera, VCR and DVD etc. Students can more satisfy from
lecture, presentation and conversation by smart classroom.
Not only the student helps from smart classrooms and also
teachers can get a platform to presents their lecture or
presentation in a batter way. IOT can transform standard
classrooms to smart classrooms with better voice,
conversation, movements, behaviour etc. It provides the
teachers to presents their lecture, presentation with better
impact and student also get the opportunity to learn
effectively, a shorter process, more planets,moreinteresting
and also entertains. We discuss two applications in below
 Smart surveillancesystem:Insmartsurveillance
system to collect information in every class in the
form of video we can use has microphone, camera,
and sound sensor and PIR sensor. Where raspberry
pi operates and control motion detection. And
camera is uses to surveillance. Collected data from
smart classrooms are stored in cloud for future
playback. When a student absents to attend their
class then they can easily collect information
regarding the classes through his/her smartphone.
 Smart Attendance System: Roll call systemisthe
most important in our school, college or university
to identify the student’s problem or they are
interested or not in their classrooms. We can
improve attendance systemusingIOTtechnologyto
provide more effectively and more efficiently.
Comparatively less time required to collect
attendance than standard classroom. Each
classroom contains a RFID reader which readseach
student ID cards for update their attendance which
makes a smart classroom roll call system. Secondly,
using NFC (Near Field Communication) based
attendance system where each student has NFC

embedded smartphone and a NFC scanner isplaced
in the front of the class. The NFC reader read each
student ID card through his/her smartphone and it
store information in the server.
2.4 Smart Library
We can improve our library system using Wi-Fi based Local
Positioning System (LPS) and Near FieldCommunication tag
for easily identify the current position of the books.
Generally, a library system performs four facilities like
authentication, query and reply, locatingthebooksandissue
and return policy.
Authentication: Authentication is very important to protest
for entering unauthorized person in library. In smart library
each user has user-ID card through his/her NFC embedded
smart phone and also his/her fingerprint through biometric
fingerprint reader to allow access in library WLAN and also
library OPAC system.
Locating the book: In smart library NFC tag are attached to
every books of the library. Each rack has NFC tag reader
included rack monitor that are connected to the library’s
WLAN. When some action is performed like book in and out
of the library the rack monitor gets information about the
book and it store to the library database.
Query and reply: In our smart library each rack contain a
rack monitor which store all information about each books.
When user queries for a book the rack monitor provide all
information regarding the books using NFC tags and local
positioning system.
Issue and Return: Every user has a separateaccountinsmart
library. Where user can get all information regarding the
transaction and it will maintain by the library server. NFC
scanners are placed at the entrance and exit of a library.
During issues a book at first read NFC tag through his/her
smart phone after checking the book are issued in his/her
account. During returning a book at first read NFC tag using
his/her smartphone after checking condition the book is
taken out in the library. Fines are automatically calculated
and user can pay through his/her smart phone.
2.5 Cloud storage in IOT based education system:
Cloud storage is an information storage model which
connects multiple storage devices to achieve resource
shearing and it gives certain storage facility and it accessed
by the combination of software and hardware.
In our IOT based education system, RFID (Radio recurrence
recognizable proof), NFC (Near field correspondence) and
LPS (Local situating framework) and so forth gathers
constant and consistent information from brilliant library
system, smart classrooms, E-learning system and smart
library system. Furthermore, those information are store in
cloud for access and control gadgets from anyplace existing
in our proposed system.
2.6 Online Self Learning
The principal idea in the auto-didacticism or self-learning is
to encourage the learners to study materials without a
teacher intervention.
In this model of studying, the students are self-motivated in
order to accomplish their homework individually.
IOT allows connecting anything to any things,anywhereand
anytime. Students can connect to any labs and libraries
(previously discussed) doing experiments, retrieving any
data that they need by registering their mobile of physical
authentication. They can receive planned homework, doing
assessment and assignments, sending the works and
receiving the results of their exams.
2.7 Real time access to global library
Online worldwide association with the libraries around the
globe can give the worldwide examining possible to
students, researchers or teachers. By using the smart
technologies such as Internet of things the intelligence
feature of IOT diffuses into the schemes, processes, and
making the system more effective.
Online worldwide connection to libraries around the world
can give possibility of researching globally to students,
researchers or teachers. The intelligence feature of IOT
diffuses into the schemes, processes, and making thesystem
more effective.
Therefore, IOT empowers smart access to the worldwide
library system management.
The IOT and the technologies thathelpit,constructcountless
connecting between book accumulations and open libraries
around the globe. This enables the clients to associate with
the giant book treasury and information banks on the web.
The detailed Advantages of E-learning are as follows:

IOT can connect the internal educational system, as well as
global points, to the online learners and teachers which
means accessing to the huge didactic resources by learners.
Using the IOT we can connect the internal educational
system, as well as global points, to the online learners and
teachers which means more knowledge can be gain by
leaners.
The advanced labs around the world can be connected by
learner to implement their experiments. Thus they can find
many solution to their questions and queries by linking to
large volume of data that are stored in internet to increase
the performance of the e-learning process.
By building up another plan of IP address (IPv6), practically
all gadgets that can get an IP can associate with one another
and to the physical or virtual universe. This can create
enormous measures of informationandconnectionbetween
items. Human, robots and Software teachers will help
students to remotely access the data, from anywhere and at
any time. They can answer all questions thathaveconsumed
the students' brains, by doing on the web appraisal and
giving related outcomes. It is extremely certain that this
wonder has a positive effect over student execution.
IOT, practically, removes the existence electronic walls,time
limitations and other barriers between learners and large
volume of resources such as experienced teachers,resultsof
researches and solutions, and advanced lab tools. As using
IOT facilitates this connection and thus restrictions are
removed, the speed of required information is increased
practically. Students or teachers can access needed e-
information within seconds or minutes.
IOT is also responsible for changing the performance of the
actual ELearning tools or Medias like wireless connections,
security (RFID authentication) and dimension of resources
(cloud systems).
3. Basic IOT Structure
Fig-3: A Basic IOT Educational Architecture
By using the IOT application in the e-learning activities, the
learners can interact with instructor, by remotely doing all
assigned Works, online assessments and getting the results
in a real-time mode.
Both students and teachers, no longer spend their time, to
carry out the manually functions. Instead, they'll think
about the educational tasks that area unit the principal
object within the learning potency of the
scholars. They’ll use the net technologies like RFID, WSN
and Cloud system, to gather knowledge associated with
learner potency.
4. LITERATURE REVIEW
Veeramanickam M and Mohanapriya says “UsingInternet of
Things in education domain has presented a great function
to connect and educate the students. Using IOT has modified
the classical teaching procedure and the infrastructure of
educational organizations. Everything can benefit with IOT
whether he is a student or teacher, in the classroom, or in
campus. Everything can benefit with IOT whether he is a
student or teacher, in the classroom, or in campus.
Everything can benefit with IOT whether he is a student or
teacher, in the classroom, or in campus. Everything can
benefit with IOT whether he is a student or teacher, in the
classroom, or in campus. Every-thing can benefit with IOT
whether he is a student or teacher, in the classroom, or in
campus”.
According to Marquez, Villanueva, Solarte , Garcia in“IOT in
education: Integration of objects with virtual academic
communities” the students, teachers, and physical and
virtual things can interact effectivelyandvia efficientlyusing
IOT. Due to the significance of IOT, the Open University in
the UK presented a course and named it “My Digital Life”
that depends on IOT basics for undergraduate students in
the computer science department. The students learned in
this course how to deal with IOT for understanding the
world and know their role.
Melissa Burns, journalist says Smart learning environments
are equipped with digital components that create better,
more efficient, and smoother learning process. Ideally,
they produce an ideal action between physical and digital
realities, permitting students to absorb data from
their surroundings and making opportunities for
seamless transitions between a spread of learning
approaches. Individual and group learning, formal and
informal settings, in analogue and digital formats. IOT can

track whether homework was done and collect data about
how much time a student neededtocompleteanassignment.
This data can help teachers better understand whethertheir
methods are working, which students need additional help,
and which tasks they struggle with the most.
Literature review shows that almost all of the recent
studies propose completely different models
for classroom. Several advanced and
innovative ideas square measure being projected or
introduced in education like introducing IOT technology
with crowdsourcing in e-education may
be helpful for up learning and teaching processes.
5. CHALLENGES WITH INTEGRATION OF IOT IN
EDUCATION
For successful integration of IOT devices in an
exceedingly classroom environment, , an education
provider might got to face several difficulties like
network information measure, reliable Wi-
Fi association, net analytics, security,
privacy, convenience of devices for college students,
teacher coaching and value of apparatus, etc.
Some of the challenges are discussed below:
Security and Privacy: Since in IOT-based environment, data
is stored at an Internet-based network of connecteddevices,
as devices start to measure and collect data from students,
they put student’s security and privacy at risk. Any security
breach could disclose student’spersonal informationrelated
to an individual’s medical record, family financial
background or any other private information.
Reliable Wi-Fi Connection: There is a continuous need for
new technologies for education, like high-speed wireless
networks which provide the bandwidth for audio and video
streaming of lessons.
Management: Some devices and applications are not
compatible and can hinder the organization’s abilitytobuild
an IOT setup that’s both reliable and available to all users.
For successful implementation of IOT, an educational
institution must make sure that both its IT equipment and
teaching approaches support theuseofIOTintheclassroom.
Although risks and potential barriers are associated with
technology, educational organizations may get advantages
from exploring and experimenting with IOT options.
Cost: The whole setup of an IOT-based educational
institution can be expensive. Therefore the cost of devices
and equipment is another challenge
The students, teachers, and physical and virtual things can
interact effectively and via
Efficiently using IOT
6. CONCLUSION
From this paper, we got the knowledge that IOT can change
the traditional education system and it will help to make the
education system smart. In today’s world due to IOT based
education system we have the facility of smart classrooms,
smart attendance system, smart library etc. From this study
we tried to obtain information about different IOT based
applications that are used to implement a smart education
system. Thisprovidesimportantapplicationsandtechnology
which are required to make a smart education system and it
will help the researchers to think new IOT based
applications and new technology.
