Mariya Shyshkina
Aims
The workshop will target the following three objectives:
- To consider the notion of the cloud-based learning and research environment of educational institution, the types of service models, the possible ways of the environment design.
- To practise the methods and components designed and deployed within the cloud-based learning settings.
- To discuss the problems of learning methods selection and implementation; to compare the learning and research components deployment and design; to compare the possible ways and methods (techniques) of these components implementation within the pedagogical systems of higher education.
Target Group
It is open for all instructors interested to improve the level of student interaction and involvement in class, to take the most effects of using the cloud-based tools to support the learning and research processes.

Internet of Things: Simple Techniques to Design IoT Nodes.
Patrick R. Kane
Aims
The workshop will target the following three objectives:
- To provide participants with an overview of low-cost IoT (BLE, Wi-Fi, Zigbee) kits available for educational use.
- To provide an overview of the typical IoT syllabus.
- To provide participants with a hands-on experience of creating their own IoT nodes using Cypress PSoC CY8CKIT-145 and CY8CKIT-042-BLE kits (participants will keep the kits after the workshop).
Target Group
It is open for all who are interested in introducing IoT topics to students in their classes.
This workshop is an amalgam of a Cypress BLE customer training workshop using the PSoC 4 BLE kit and a mini-workshop using an EZ- BLE enabled PSoC 4000s kit. The BLE workshop has been delivered 100s of times to students, professors, and Cypress customers around the world.
Currently, the presenter is preparing it in the form of short sessions for an online PSoC BLE certificated class for the public at large.
