An Indicative Demanding Teaching Scenario for Primary Education with the Support of a Multi-layer Fog Computing Architecture

Fog computing is a new, modern type of computing that distributes some of the storage, estimation, and processing constraints of cloud computing closer to the edge of the network. The impact of Cloud and Fog Computing in an educational context is now more important than ever. This paper presents innovative designed services of fog computing techniques in the educational sector. An original educational scenario is described, based on innovative fog computing techniques and the appropriate use of online collaborative learning tools. The aim of the paper is to propose an appropriate fog-based architecture to support education in Primary and Secondary Education as well as to provide appropriate recommendations and present some indicative education scenarios implemented based on the use of cloud and fog computing. The proposed scenario is properly documented, while specific implementation issues are presented and analyzed.
