Abstract

The related advances on the Internet of Things (IoT) have grown vastly. IoT is the most challenging platform, but it holds real promise for revolutionizing all facets of education. Many countries are using digital technologies to provide communication. Introducing IoT technologies like Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) in education will enable connectivity, enhance effectiveness, and create knowledge sharing in the learning environment. However, there is still a need to understand the opportunities and constraints of RFID as an IoT technology in education. Therefore, this paper conducts a review of the significant opportunities and challenges for RFID in education. With the introduction of RFID technology into the education sector, it is significant to understand how RFID can benefit the learning environment and support pedagogy. Hence, we bring out the benefits of RFID in educational environments. The challenges of using RFID, like security and privacy, are also mentioned. The study on RFID will be significant in accelerating its use in learning environments. Lastly, the paper highlights some future suggestions.
