This topic team intends to explore the effect of technology on the ways education is conducted at various levels; grammar school, high school, university, polytechnics, and all the other forms that have sprouted since the introduction of digitalization within this domain. We intend to look at the educational means we have at our disposal, the disparate societal needs present, and how we can utilize such knowledge for IoT internal and external purposes.
IoT is a very broad topic area with many opportunities but also many very large challenges (or as some may say “even bigger opportunities”). This breadth is reflected in the topic areas defined by IoT Austria. Today, there are many sources of high quality education/training available in both free (MOOCS’s and youtube video’s) and for fee (formal education classes) models. The opportunity for the IoT Education Topic Area is to create a framework that will bring consistency in approach and delivery. We are striving to leverage what is considered current best practices in the education field, practices that encourage interaction and engagement between the participants and education guides.
With the definition of 11 topic areas, IoT Austria has taken up the challenge of structuring the amorphous state of IoT. This team will ensure that we maintain a level of quality and consistency in our presentations and education of IoT members and the general public.
The beneficiaries of the output of this team are twofold. First the target audiences (policy makers, business owners and engineering personnel) of any education efforts sponsored by IoT Austria and second the different topic areas of IoT Austria. The objective of the framework is to provide the guideposts for the subject matter experts to define seminar or course content and to set standards that will continue to establish IoT Austria’s presence in the IoT space.
This is an enabling team. By providing the framework, it will be up to the different topic team area’s to decide where existing education content should be leveraged versus creating specific new materials. This team will support and work with each topic team area to ensure that content has a consistent delivery mode and quality.
That is really up to the members of the topic team to decide all of this. Yes, you have the power. We hope to have a preliminary framework defined by early September 2017.
Success is measured on two dimensions. First the effectiveness of the framework, and second the effectiveness of the individual classes. The effectiveness of the framework should be measured through data collected from new course creators, as well as data collected from class attendees. The effectiveness of the individual class should be measured from data collected from class attendees.
In order for the framework to be successful, input is needed from the user community. If you join the Education Topic team we would expect you to participate in the framework workshops, and/or to provide feedback on framework proposals.
There are three possibilities:
