An IoT System for Collaboration Analytics in Hybrid Learning Environments

Collaborative learning has been qualitatively analyzed by learning science researchers to enhance learning performance. A quantitative analysis system supports the existing qualitative analysis of collaborative learning. We propose an Internet of Things (IoT) system comprising business-card-type badges, radio-over-fiber (RoF)-based synchronization, and a collaboration analysis algorithm to support collaborative learning analytics in different venues (e.g., offline, online, and hybrid). We showed that our proposed system quantitatively supports qualitative analysis of collaborative learning in different environments.
