This book is about the Internet of Things in the field of education. Specifically, it focuses on two major topics: IoT (Internet of Things) solutions to support distance education and new pedagogical approaches to support development of computational thinking with educational devices possessing the characteristics of IoT. As the educational landscape has dramatically changed in times of global pandemic, online resources and media, such as IoT, have become increasingly important. This situation compels all educational scholars, researchers and practitioners to search for new solutions, new educational pathways and new agents for knowledge development to support learning. This book presents the possibilities of IoT as both a catalyst and performance tool for education. The convergence of multiple technologies, real-time analytics, machine learning, commodity sensors, and embedded systems can serve as tools for learning support and this book details exactly how these powerful tools can be utilized to best effect.

Giacomo Leopardi (1798-1837) and Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) crossed paths during their lifetimes, and though they never met, the legacy of their work betrays a shared destiny. As prominent figures who challenged and contributed to the Romantic debate, Leopardi and Shelley hold important roles in the history of their respective national literatures, but paradoxically experienced a controversial and delayed reception outside their native lands. Cerimonia’s wide-ranging study brings together these two poets for the first time for an exploration of their afterlives, through a close reading of hitherto unstudied translations. This intriguing journey tells the story, from its origins, of the two poets’ critical fortune, and examines their position in the cultural debates of the nineteenth century; in disputes regarding translation theories and practices; and shows the configuration of their identities as we understand their legacy today.

Listening into writing, reading into writing take shape in F.M.R.L. through a collection of short texts, fragments and 'deranged essays', with attention to pacing and linguistic derives. An archive of books, notebooks, events and records prompts the texts in these pages, responding to encounters with Michel Leiris's autobiographical fictions; concerts and events at Cafe Oto and the Swedenborg House in London; visits to museums such as the Pitt Rivers in Oxford and exhibitions such as Ice Age Art at the British Museum, among the others. F.M.R.L. is a book constructed across sonic patterns, assonance, repetitions, comprising texts that intermittently drift from sense to sound and to nonsense and back. A flip from the immateriality of sound to the sounds of letters and words as material, a call from reading to voicing.
