Background of the study:
The rapid evolution of digital technologies is transforming education, prompting a shift from traditional teaching methods to more interactive, technology-enhanced learning environments. In Wukari LGA, Taraba State, secondary schools face challenges in meeting the growing demands for digital literacy and engaging learning experiences. An IoT-based smart e-learning system offers a modern solution by integrating interconnected devices, adaptive learning tools, and real-time data analytics to personalize educational content (Emeka, 2023). Such systems utilize smart boards, sensors, and networked devices to create interactive classrooms that promote student engagement and collaboration. With IoT, data on student performance and engagement can be continuously monitored, enabling educators to tailor lesson plans to individual learning needs (Okafor, 2024). This integration supports adaptive learning environments where educational resources are dynamically adjusted based on real-time feedback, leading to improved academic performance and heightened student interest. Additionally, smart e-learning systems facilitate administrative efficiency through digital attendance, resource management, and performance tracking, which are critical in addressing the infrastructural limitations prevalent in many secondary schools (Johnson, 2025). The move towards smart education is part of a global trend, and its implementation in Wukari LGA can help bridge the digital divide while preparing students for a technology-driven future. By offering remote learning capabilities, IoT-based e-learning systems also ensure educational continuity during unforeseen disruptions, ultimately contributing to a more resilient educational framework (Babatunde, 2023).
Statement of the problem:
Secondary schools in Wukari LGA, Taraba State, are challenged by outdated teaching methods and insufficient technological infrastructure, which hinder the delivery of interactive and personalized education. Traditional e-learning platforms lack the adaptive features necessary to engage students effectively, resulting in low academic performance and diminished interest in learning (Udo, 2023). Inadequate digital resources and limited training for educators further exacerbate the gap between traditional instruction and modern educational demands. As a result, students often experience disengagement and face difficulty in comprehending complex subjects. The absence of real-time monitoring and adaptive feedback mechanisms prevents timely intervention for struggling students, thereby negatively impacting overall academic outcomes (Abubakar, 2024). This technological gap not only affects individual learning but also limits the ability of schools to implement effective resource management and data-driven teaching strategies. To bridge this gap, there is a need to develop an IoT-based smart e-learning system that leverages real-time data to create an adaptive learning environment. Such a system would enable educators to continuously assess student performance, adjust teaching methods, and provide personalized learning experiences. Addressing these issues is crucial for transforming the educational landscape in Wukari LGA, thereby fostering an environment where digital tools support improved academic achievement and holistic student development.
Objectives of the study:
-
To design an IoT-based smart e-learning system that enhances interactive learning in secondary schools.
-
To evaluate the impact of the smart e-learning system on student engagement and academic performance.
-
To identify challenges and propose strategies for effective implementation of IoT-based e-learning in secondary schools.
Research questions:
-
How does the IoT-based smart e-learning system influence student engagement in secondary schools?
-
What challenges are encountered in integrating IoT technologies into existing educational practices?
-
How can the smart e-learning system be optimized to improve academic performance in secondary schools?
Significance of the study:
The study is significant as it explores the transformative potential of IoT in enhancing educational practices. By providing empirical evidence on improved student engagement and performance, the findings will inform policymakers and school administrators on effective strategies for integrating technology into classrooms, ultimately fostering a dynamic and resilient learning environment.
Scope and limitations of the study:
This study is limited to the design and evaluation of an IoT-based smart e-learning system for secondary schools in Wukari LGA, Taraba State. It does not extend to other educational levels or IoT applications beyond e-learning.
