Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to provide a smart environment to improve planning, health, well-being, and thus academic and educational achievement of students.
Methodology: The research is applied in terms of purpose. In this paper, firstly, effective criteria in the learning process have been extracted and prioritized by reading books, articles and questions from experts. Then, an architecture is proposed whose dimensions are nutrition and health, energy, roommate selection, and the designation of a supervisor and research fellow. Opportunities to use the IoT to create a suitable environment to enhance educational attainment in each department have been explored.
Findings: According to expert opinion, 1-fitness and health of body and spirit 2-accuracy and concentration 3-position and learning environment are key criteria in learning process. In the health section, an application on the IoT is explained to help each student achieve his or her required share of health benefits. In the energy section, flowcharts are listed on the IoT to prevent energy wastage and automatically regulate it. The proposed algorithm is also proposed in the IoT platform for the appointment of a supervisor and research fellow to increase the accuracy and concentration of the senses. In the roommate selection section, the possibilities of using IoT to achieve more specific and more accurate attributes are discussed, and a proposed algorithm in IoT is proposed.
Conclusion: The use of up-to-date technologies can increase the well-being and comfort of the residents of the dormitories and thus improve their scientific and educational level.
