IoT as Assistive Technology: Applications in Education as a Tool for Inclusion
International Journal of Technology in Education, v6 n1 p100-112 2023
Education based on the Internet of Things (IoEdT) emerges as a new conceptual paradigm to define the use of wireless technology as a collaborative tool in teaching-learning processes. Based on this concept, this study explored the potential of the IoEdT as a response to the problems of social inclusion of students with disabilities. In this way, the applicability of the IoEdT as an assistive technology was examined and the challenges faced in the implementation of this tool in the socio-educational context were analyzed. Therefore, this study aims to analyze whether the use of new technologies can become a propelling subject of inclusive transformation or an obstacle to achieving educational equity. For this, an investigation will be carried out with a quantitative, descriptive, and documentary approach. The work presented, as a result, a sampling of available assistive technologies that use the internet of things in the teaching and communication of people with disabilities and the main challenges faced in the availability of this technology.
