Abstract
In recent years, we have witnessed an exponential growth in the use wearable and Internet of Things devices to provide friendly and tangible interfaces for ubiquitous services. The digital transformation of private and public organizations has been largely spurred by the widespread use of mobile devices, such as smartphones, tablets and virtual reality gadgets. Tangible interfaces have further enhanced the quality of experience by enabling the customization of human–machine interfaces. This paper presents WIoTED: a platform integrating wearable and IoT technologies specifically designed for the delivery and support of learning/teaching activities. Among its main features, WIoTED introduces MovED: a wearable device designed to facilitate both the orchestration of enriching teaching environments and use by young learners. Based on numerous trials conducted under various scenarios, we have validated the operation of WIoTED in terms of the education delivery effectiveness: usability and user satisfaction. Our study includes a comparison in terms of the workload generated and response time bounds delivered by MovED with respect to a setup preferring the use of smartphones.
