IoT MOOC Courses

Here, we announce current IoT courses in self-study / MOOC models. We provide free modules in self-study mode, so both application and participation are free. However, obtaining a verified certificate may be a paid service. Please refer to the terms and conditions directly in the online learning platform.

Some courses run on a pre-defined schedule and are intended to be taken by our consortium partner’s students.
Still, core courses hosted by the consortium EU partners are available 24/7 for starting.
You can enrol in the modules here: https://multiasm.eu/mooc .

You must register for a free account using your email there. It is necessary to let you easily track the progress of your studies and continue it over the study period. Once you create and activate the account, you can self-enrol in one of the abovementioned modules.

Introductory and bachelor’s courses:

IOTOPENEU E1: IoT Overview

This is an introductory course for the Internet of Things.
You will learn about IoT, its definition, enabling technologies, IoT paradigms and application domains.

IOTOPENEU E2: IoT Programming and Frameworks

In this module, we provide a comprehensive guide for IoT programming. 

Students will learn about programming models for various IoT systems, starting with open-source ones (“craft all yourself”) and ending with closed ecosystems.

Then, we provide a quick review of the frameworks with particular attention to the most popular Arduino model (but not limited to, as we also discuss script programming in MicroPython and regular Python, suitable for Fog class devices).

The next chapter introduces C++ programming for embedded and IoT systems. Finally, the cherry on top is network programming for IoT devices. 

The last chapter of the course reviews the most popular IoT frameworks, which enable almost zero-code, configuration-based setup of IoT ecosystems (e.g., Tasmota).

IOTOPENEU E3: IoT Hardware

This module is dedicated to the hardware part of the IoT ecosystems.

Besides the Introduction to the Hardware, you will learn about IoT Microcontrollers, the Most Noticeable Platforms, Sensors, Actuators, and Output Devices, Power Sources for the IoT, and Embedded Protocols such as SPI, I2C, CAN, Serial, and PWM.

You will learn to choose the correct MCU to handle your tasks, create the proper power source for your IoT device, and integrate green energy sources.

IOTOPENEU E4: IoT Communication and Networking

Here comes a module on the most significant part of every component of the IoT ecosystem: a network.

This module explains the basics of the IoT, specifically general networking in the context of the IoT. We also discuss the communication stack layer, wired and wireless networks, and application layer protocols. You will learn the basics that will enable you to choose and implement the correct communication protocol for your devices, including the choice of network type, e.g., mesh, networking (e.g., Thread, LoRA, WiFi, Bluetooth, other), and application level, such as MQTT, CoAP, and AMQP.
