IoT-DESIR: A case study on a cooperative learning experiment in Sardinia

摘要

The project IoT-DESIR, which integrates new technology and didactics events through a problem solving approach, started a year ago and involves 25 teachers and about 200 students. Fourteen Sardinian higher education schools of various backgrounds, CRS4, a Research Center and other institutions are reunited in the first online school network in order to manage, develop and test IoT scenarios, in a trans-disciplinary approach. The project, built around IoT technology and the use of Arduino boards (www.arduino.cc) should demonstrate that technology can successfully be introduced in higher education curricula, that it can be used to improve the attractiveness of scientific and technological subjects, that it can successfully be used in didactics and that networking favours an efficient use of technology.
