Learning Media Repository and Delivery System for Smart Classroom using IoT and Mobile Technologies

Abstract

This paper presents a learning media repository and delivery system (LMRD) for a smart classroom using IoT and mobile technologies. It was designed to support active learning pedagogy. Teachers are able to broadcast learning media or course materials directly to the student mobile devices, after that the students can interact to the media by drawing, editing, or adding comments using their mobile device then broadcast it back to present or reflect their thinking. The system includes 1) a server using a Raspberry Pi 3B+ and 2) mobile devices. The system supports full features involving two approaches in the form of an Internet model and a non-Internet model. The mobile applications were implemented using cross-platform approach to support major mobile platforms including iOS and Android. The evaluation had three dimensions in terms of usability, functionality and security. The results revealed that all dimensions were evaluated highly. The teacher and students were highly satisfied with the system.
