CREATING A “SMART” COMPUTER SCIENCE CLASSROOM AT UNIVERSITY

Abstract

Abstract. This work aims to highlight issues related to the creation of "smart" microelectronics-based computer science classes in higher education institutions. The "smart" computer science classroom created is a fully automated educational environment that operates in its three modes: "standard", "automatic", "automatic power saving". "Samrt" cabinet can be controlled by smartphones, PCs and remote controls. Cabinet is equipped with various sensors, indicators and electronic parts based on ArduinoUNO, MEGA and ESP8266-12E WiFi modules. Measurements of built-in "smart" office sensors and indicators are used to display information on the status of the office and classroom microclimate for demonstration presentations and laboratory work. Designed for Iformatics, the Smart Cabinet consists of three modules: "Informational", "Executive" and "Demonstration", controlled by an ATMEL microcontroller. The demonstration module is designed to quickly and easily connect various sensors and components for solderless boards. Arduino open programming platform. Smart sensors in computer science classrooms can monitor the environment inside and outside the classroom (temperature, humidity, pressure, light levels, levels of carbon dioxide and other gases in the air); and remotely control peripherals: TVs, projectors, lamps, electrical outlets, curtains. All three modules are connected to a wireless local area network. "Star" topology with radio communication based on each module. The main components of the system are executive modules that have Internet access, equipment, technology and software tools. An overview of the educational system in technical educational institutions addresses the following issue: сreating "smart" computer science classrooms in higher education institutions.
