Recently, education is rapidly changing, moving away from the classroom system with libraries and expensive books towards an open e-learning. Knowledge is made more accessible through e-learning systems, online courses, wikis, blogs, vlogs, podcasts, p2p networks. The use of open platforms allows both the use of open source software to create their own projects and complement the platform's capabilities with its own developments: algorithms and protocols. In this article, we'll review the existing educational projects, based on the FIWARE platform, which are developed by different teams. We will also examine in detail the possibilities of IoT open platform usage and our experience in the following areas: implementation of practical, course and graduate work on Information Security (Cryptography, Network Security, Internet of Things), Programming Languages, Data Analysis, Big Data, Industrial Networks, Telemedicine Systems, Distributed Control Systems, etc.
