Measuring the Readiness of applying Internet of Thing in the managing education process at high schools in Basra

Abstract

Today as the Coronavirus crisis unfolds, several countries impose lockdown and social distancing to prevent a pandemic. The internet has become increasingly important for the reduction of social contact in the business world, health care, education, and industry, especially in educational institutions. This study aimed to identify the level of applying (IoT) in the management education process, identify the point of strength and weakness at high schools in Basra, and specify the current readiness. Depend on a survey, and case study methods to investigate the reality of applying (IoT) at high schools in Basra. We used a number of scientific research tools, including personal interviews and multiple field visits for schools. In addition, design a checklist to collect data necessary to find out the current reality through answer the question about four important indicators (connection, management, security and privacy, cost). This study reached a number of conclusions, the most important of which is that most schools in Basra are not ready to use (IoT) in managing the education process. Therefore, they need more focus on these indicators to take advantage of the benefits provided by (IoT) to improve the education process.
