Abstract

ABSTRACT


The emergence of the Internet of Things technologies (IoT) today has not been fully incorporated in inclusive education to improve methodologies to benefit students and the entire education system. Internet of Things technologies are implemented in many areas outside education, such as health, customer service, environmental monitoring, and smart retail. Inclusive education could address students' diversity in their learning through the provided learning environment. It is for this reason that the Internet of Things should be fully incorporated to enhance the learning process. This article reviews the application of Internet of Things technology in achieving Inclusive Education. Further, it sought to identify factors that hinder effective Inclusive Education and to explain how the Internet of Things Technology can help to foster the achievement of Inclusive Education. To achieve this, documents on IoT were analysed, and it has been established that IoT enables the carrying out of remote experiments, e-learning, and smart classrooms. The challenges to the application of IoT in the provision of Inclusive Education include traditional modes of teaching and security threats.
