Course Description

This course is made available through the eLearnAfrica and Edx partnership.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is expanding at a rapid rate, and it is becoming increasingly important for professionals to understand what it is, how it works, and how to harness its power to improve your business.


In this course we will focus on how the IoT works. You will learn about IoT networks and explore how ‘things’ connect to it, including whether the connection and processing is local (fog) or remote (cloud).


We will explore data networks, connection types, layer models and analyze IoT protocols and standards.


You’ll also learn how to evaluate different infrastructure components and network systems, and how to go about designing a basic network for your own IoT ideas.

Certificate cost may vary. You will be redirected to the host page for cost and payment options.
