Internet of Things (IoT): Education and Technology

February 22, 2018

The relationship between education and technology has been long and complex. Tools that assist students in activating and deploying information, that mediate the methods and modes of transforming that information into knowledge, have been at the heart of sound pedagogic praxis. Having the right equipment – that helps open up pathways for student activity, assists in the processing and mobilisation of ideas, and connects those ideas with the contexts that surround them – forms the basis of the teaching and learning environment. As such, this education—technology relationship has been spotlighted as part of education policy and practice critique. Complaints about falling education standards, unemployable students, redundant curricula and backward institutional organisation, have therefore been punctuated by the debates about the role and place of technologies in the classrooms. By technology we refer to more than computing – technologies extend the human body, from pens to eye glasses to clothes.

The Rise of Single Pair Ethernet in IIoT

whitePaper | May 12, 2022

Traditionally the networking architectures used within the industrial domain have been many and varied. With its established enterprise IT roots, Ethernet was always going to be the backbone network of choice to link the worlds of operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) together. However, since the arrival of Industrial IoT (IIoT), connecting all the production assets, such as sensors, actuators, robots, and the myriad of other equipment, typically involved proprietary, vendor-specific networking. The availability of single-pair Ethernet (SPE) looks set to change this legacy approach.
