IoT Implications on Adapting the Educational Offer of Universities

Abstract

The adoption of IoT technologies in more and more fields of activity in the following years will have multiple implications and will represent a challenge for universities in terms of adapting their educational offer. Thus, higher education institutions must adapt their study programs to train future specialists in the field, as well as to develop the digital skills of all graduates, regardless of the specialization chosen by them. The paper aims at highlighting how this IoT field is viewed by a sample of final year students of university. The enquiry was completed online by the students - responders to the invitation to fill it in, sent through Microsoft Teams, Google Classroom and Facebook platforms. The research method used was empirical and we used Eviews 10 software - with its help, we obtained the correlation between the IoT field and the need to develop students' digital skills by adapting and modernizing the educational offer of universities.
