Take advantage of wearables
The use of wearable technology in education is on the rise. Many schools and universities are now using wearables in the same way that other industries are.
To guide new generations of students in the use of this powerful tool, we’ve created a teaching curriculum developed under the syllabus of the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR). It helps achieve many educational outcomes across biomechanics, sports science, and STEM-based subjects. The curriculum incorporates practical lessons for students to work with wearable technology, as well as field-based assignments to develop a student’s ability to collect, analyze, and report wearable sensor data.
Movella DOT
The Movella DOT wearable sensor development platform is a basis for this field, and is available for education and research professionals to use in their research or integrate into educational programs. It enables a robust educational framework to provide students with a real-life feel for a career in STEM.
Wearable technology and the enhancement of 21st-century skills
Many of us don’t have to look further than our own wristwatch to see the everyday practical use of wearable technology. Measuring human movement enables us to build solutions in applications spanning medical, sports, and ergonomics, to name a few. Wearable technology applications are here and finding new applications all the time.
