Foreword: Smart Education

Written by Sandeep Shekhawat and M. A. Jabbar

Welcome to the latest edition of our Smart Education newsletter, where we delve into the exciting ways that technology is transforming education. In this edition, we will be focusing on the significant impact that the Internet of Things (IoT) is having on smart education.

IoT-enabled devices and applications are being integrated into classrooms and educational institutions, creating a more connected and interactive learning experience. The benefits of IoT in education are numerous, and research has shown that it can improve student engagement, learning outcomes, and overall educational experience.

According to a study by UNESCO, there are significant challenges facing education in developing countries, such as limited resources and inadequate infrastructure. However, the use of IoT in education has the potential to address some of these challenges and provide students with access to high-quality education. Research has shown that IoT can be used to create low-cost and accessible educational resources.

In this edition of the IEEE Smart Cities eNewsletter, we will be exploring the various ways in which IoT is revolutionizing education, especially in developing countries. We will be discussing case studies, challenges, and opportunities like Metaverse in Smart Education, AI Ethics, and how to approach integrating Smart Education in STEM.

We hope that these articles will provide valuable insights into the potential of IoT in education and inspire innovative solutions to address the challenges faced by developing countries.
