Remote IoT teaching across the North-Atlantic

The ability to offer courses over the Internet between remote teacher(s) and students enhances curricula and can improve quality in university work regarding both teaching and research. This is particularly true for small universities that struggle to offer comprehensive curricula due to lack of professors and students. In the spring semester of 2021, the University of Iceland offered a course on the Internet of Things taught by a professor emeritus in Atlanta, Georgia, assisted by a local professor. The lectures were given on Zoom and all assignments and exams were given over the Internet. In this paper, this course’s framework will be described, how it was implemented and what was accomplished. The authors will also share their thoughts on the future of this kind of university work that has to some extent developed due to the Covid situation.
