Abstract

The development of the Internet of Things (IoT) accentuates the interweaving of the digital with the physical, raising multiple issues, including for learning and more specifically for the learning of the deaf. While emerging technologies may have given rise to various methods and modes of learning, the implications of the IoT for deaf learning are not yet understood. This study aims to propose the possible integration of the IoT and augmented reality (AR) to support deaf learning from three dimensions of analysis: data, interfaces and pervasiveness. The axes of applications identified suggest that the IoT promotes learning characterized by experimentation, adaptation (to the context and to the learner), the manipulation of objects and exploration without the constraints of time or space. In order to achieve this integration, preliminary survey is collected from deaf learners. Based on the results, a deaf intelligent learning model is proposed and discussed.
