There are 4 introductory and bachelor-level modules and 6 advanced modules. A detailed description of the modules is here, and you will easily find something suitable for your level of knowledge.
And most of all, everything is free: modules, materials, and access!
If you want to enrol directly, use this Moodle platform, where we host our modules.
A complete list of courses in our partner universities is available here.
There are two coursebooks available for our students:
- The Bluebook – coursebook – Introduction to the IoT
Starting from Introduction to IoT, through hardware, software and networking – a pure, comprehensive encyclopedia on the technical aspects of all IoT components. Intended for Beginners and Bachelors A single PDF file.
You can also browse the book in a Wiki-style here. - The Greenbook – coursebook – Advanced IoT Systems
It is a high-level, conceptual book for those who intend to design IoT ecosystems rather than implement them. It is intended for Masters and is a single PDF.
You can also browse the book in a Wiki-style here.
Ready to experiment? If you do not have suitable hardware, no worries: we have a solution! Our online, remote access lab will let you work on real IoT hardware; all you need is a web browser.
Our online laboratory is free for everyone (with a limited number of nodes and booking time). If you need it for more extended experiments, don’t hesitate to contact us, and we will do our best.


If you’re a non-IoT professional
