Exponentially disruptive innovation driven by service science and the Internet of Things as a Grand Challenge enabler in Education

This paper describes an “exponentially innovative” educational approach opening a gate to so called Massive on Line Open Service (MOOS) as the next phase of Massive on Line Open Laboratories (MOOL), in which students can study and conduct cost efficient experimentations in the privacy of their homes 24/7/365. The T-shaped educational platform is based on service science and the Internet of Things (IoT). The approach is illustrated by a pilot curriculum developed at the University of New Hampshire and being introduced to different parts of the World. Because of its accessibility, affordability, scalability and commercial merits, the methodology is a viable candidate to address The Grand Challenge in education.
