Introduction
We are experiencing a moment where the amount of data,
knowledge, and technological devices are changing the
mindset of institutions in their teaching and learning
processes. [1]

3.
Introduction
With this data we can create new
possibilities to generate new
knowledge about different areas.

4.
Introduction
In this framework, some studies
and reports have shown some
potential uses of IoT
technologies in education.

5.
Introduction
There is a potentiality that seems
to have gained greater
preponderance:
Hypersituation

6.
Hypersituation
"The ability to amplify access to knowledge of a device user's
current location. This is where a mobile device and/or sensor can
correlate with personal and diverse information to augment and
deepen one's understanding of the surrounding physical world. The
learner can both consume and create."[4]

Hypersituation and Hipersituated Experience
Hypersituated experience may contribute on a large scale to
the emergence of new pedagogical situations and contexts

Hypersituation -> How to achieve

11.
Hypersituation -> Potentialities
• Classroom may become an "open" space;
• Real data;
• Possibility to have a deeper understanding of the world.

12.
Hypersituation -> Challenges
• The difficulty of creating these hypersituated environments, since
it will be necessary to combine a set of technologies and to
develop a platform that allows the user (especially students) the
possibility of accessing data and information in an easy and
targeted way.
• Training teachers;
• Methodology
• Safety.

13.
Final remarks
However, despite the consensus that seems to exist in the
scientific community about hypersituation being the great
potential of IoT for education[3–8], there is a need for
empirical studies that attest to this idea.
