Learn how the Internet of Things is driving us towards a more connected future.
We live in a data-immersed world. Even physical information like temperature, our heart rate, or sleep patterns, can be turned into digital data. Now, thanks to the Internet of Things (IoT), this data can be used to gather valuable insights and make more intelligent decisions. In this course, we'll introduce you to the IoT in an accessible way - from what it is and how it works to the its relationships with sustainability and its future potential. We'll also explore the range of contexts in which its being applied, from wearble technologies and smart homes, to smart farms and even smart cities. Join us as we discover how the IoT is driving us towards a more connected future.
