Innovative Experimental Platform Design and Teaching Application of the Internet of Things

By analyzing the current situation of experimental platforms based on the Internet of Things (IOT) and the cultivation of talents, we established the talents' cultivating orientation and an experiment platform for innovation. In accordance with the requirements of a practical and creative curriculum, a method of modularization was adopted to design a platform. With this, the platform can basically satisfy the needs of varying teaching experiments, which can increase the opportunities for students' comprehensive application. The platform has been widely used in experimental and practice teaching in the past three years, such as in synthetic experiments, graduate programs, and practice projects at Zhongkai University of Agriculture and Engineering, Guilin University of Technology, etc. Results show that the innovative experimental platform has broad application prospects and effectiveness to meet the requirements of students' in-depth learning and research of IOT technologies. The platform expanded the students' basic understanding of IOT and improved their innovation.
