Course design for Internet of Things using Lab of Things of Microsoft Research

The emergence of Internet of Things (IoT) has created great changes and innovations in the related industries. With various applications and services regarding IoT, there has been a big leap in real life of human beings. However, there is big discrepancy between industries and educational program of universities regarding recent trend of technologies. Lab of Things (LoT) platform is an IoT platform, which is easy-to-learn and easy-to-develop. It is appropriate for a semester course in the universities. Considering all these facts, in this paper, we present our experience in designing a course on IoT application development using LoT of Microsoft Research, which is a one semester (15 weeks) course in universities. As the results of the course, students developed application easily applicable for real life and demonstrated them in the showcase.
