2021-11-26, 16:30–18:30 (Europe/Athens), Room 2
This Workshop will present the innovative work of the Erasmus+ Project Teaspils (https://www.teaspils.eu/), which explores the utilization of IoT interventions in teaching and learning for Environmental Education courses in Secondary Education.
To Register for the Workshop please complete the form at https://moodlemoot.ellak.gr/engrafi-sto-workshop-teaching-environmental-education-utilizing-smart-internet-of-things-iot-planters-in-learning-spaces/
The Workshop will include presentations and discussions of key aspects of the work being developed, such as:
• An overview of a Moodle-based SPOC Pilot designed to foster environmental awareness in schools
• A remote presentation of the prototype smart IoT planter with various built-in sensors which will automatically collect data in learning spaces
• Views of selected learning analytics and a planned visualisation dashboard to show selected sensor data via mobile/web apps
• Future plans for a Moodle-based MOOC, utilizing a number of gamification elements,r egarding the use of smart IoT planters in learning spaces
• An emerging gamification framework that will utilise digital sensor evidence for pedagogic environmental awareness and its application in the SPOC pilot course.
