Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) has become a growing trend in the current technological panorama. In Education, the IoT is a vastly developing technologically driven information and communication environment for researchers, students, and administrators. We review the benefits and challenges of the IoT to determine a potential communication and information sharing culture in HEIs. Although the results indicate that stakeholders demand a better collaborative learning environment, improved information sharing and productive efficiency, IoT is burdened with privacy, data security and interoperability concerns that dissuade stakeholders from embracing IoT. IoT as an ICT strategy has the potential to meet HEIs system expectations, yet stakeholders are still undecided about their willingness to embrace the IoT. This prompts future research to explore the reasons why stakeholders are resistant towards the IoT.
