Abstract

One of the most significant technological developments of our time is the Internet of Things (IoT). Many countries have begun to incorporate these technologies into various aspects of life, such as educational institutions. Indeed, educational institutions should keep up with the latest technological developments and work to develop and improve their services to ensure their long-term viability. The purpose of this study was to explore about IoT and the challenges that information institutions face when attempting to benefit from IoT technologies. This study adopts the descriptive approach, by surveying and analyzing the intellectual published output. We collected information by reviewing intellectual production and literature data, analyzing it, and extracting the most important conclusions from previous research. The findings of this study were most notable in that most international and advanced information institutions are rapidly adopting internet of things technology due to its numerous benefits. Despite the fact that (IoT) applications face a number of challenges and issues such as poor internet networks, data piracy, and confidentiality. The study recommended that adequate support and infrastructure be provided for the adoption of Internet of Things technologies.
