Unit Learning Outcomes
LO1 Analyse what aspects of IoT are necessary and appropriate when designing software
applications.
Transferable skills and competencies developed
On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to explain the basic concepts
of IoT; design, build and simulate an IoT application using any combination of hardware,
software, data, platforms and services; be able to discuss the problems that IoT
applications solve; the potential impact on society, business and the end user, and the
problems encountered when integrating into the wider IoT ecosystem. As a result,
students will develop skills such as communication literacy, design thinking, team
working, critical thinking, analysis, reasoning and interpretation and computer software
literacy, which are crucial for gaining employment and developing academic competence.
Vocational scenario
You currently work as a product developer for a new startup where you design IoT
products for the consumer, corporate, government and defence clients. As part of your
role your manager has tasked you to plan and develop a new IoT product, service or
application for a potential client. You are required to identify a target user and conduct
tests with this user and include this feedback into multiple iterative versions of your
product.
Assignment activity and guidance
To complete this task successfully you will have to work through a number of stages:
Stage 1 , Analyse what the necessary and, indeed, appropriate elements of the Internet of
Things are for designing a new software application.
Include in this an exploration of the various forms of IoT functionality,
ensuring you analyse and evaluate the impact of specific forms of IoT architecture,
look at the impact of on the software development lifecycle of architecture, frameworks,
tools, application program interfaces (API) and hardware and review them for different
problem solving requirements.
To complete this stage justify the use of the above when designing software applications.
Stage 2, now you have to come up with an idea for your IoT application, and determine a
specific problem to solve with it. The problem being, in the first instance, how to
complete
your assigned task of developing a ubiquitous IoT application.
Investigate and select the most appropriate for your software development from those
IoT architecture models, frameworks, tools, APIs and hardware available and include
them in your application development.
Create an IoT application development plan then develop your IoT application using
appropriate tools.
Experiment with your application and get feedback from multiple users, use the evaluated
results of both to make multiple iterations of your development, moderating each to take
on board the feedback and enhance your application.
Use the outcomes of user feedback to determine the advantages and disadvantages of
your chosen IoT techniques.
Stage 3, Before you submit your application to the company for possible sale and
distribution you have some final issues to look at.
You need to do a comprehensive critical review of the overall success of your IoT
application development. Include in this a comparison of the final application to the
original plan detailing the problems it solves.
A detailed assessment of the impact your application might have on people, business,
society and the people who actually use it (end users).
Finally you need to consider the potential for causing problems to the wider system that
your application may have when it goes live.
Please review the grading criteria for more details on the expected elements and topics
that need to be included.
