OneNet-Based Smart Classroom Design for Effective Teaching Management

Abstract

In recent years, with the development of IoT, cloud computing and big data, there is an increasing number of smart devices for smart classrooms. Comparing to the traditional classrooms which lack attendance management and intelligent control of the environment facilities, these smart classrooms have great advantages in automatic control for facilities in the classrooms, ensuring security, and improving teaching quality. In this paper, we propose a new OneNet-based smart classroom architecture for teaching management effectively. In this architecture, we improve the traditional check-in method using both Bluetooth positioning technology and mobile terminal equipment. In addition, the architecture we propose can analyze environmental information in the classroom automatically through using sensors and adjust the classroom’s environment state using cloud platforms intelligently. In order to make it more convenient to control and manage the classrooms’ environment, we use data visualization technology to illustrate some real-time state parameters of the classrooms visually. Furthermore, we implement the architecture we propose in the real scenario. The results of the analysis and evaluation for this architecture we propose show that it is feasible to use and promote this kind of architecture in real teaching scenarios.
