Abstract

This study investigates the impact of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies on enhancing academic interaction between students and faculty members in higher education institutions, with an in-depth comparative analysis of the Iraqi context in relation to the Arab and global contexts. The study adopts a descriptive-analytical approach based on a literature review and comparative analysis, supported by statistical charts and a field survey. The findings revealed that IoT-enabled smart classrooms improved interaction indicators by between 10% and 96%. The global market reached USD 14.24 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 48.26 billion by 2033, representing a compound annual growth rate of 15.3%. In contrast, the adoption rate of IoT in Iraqi public universities does not exceed 18%, compared with 68% globally, revealing a structural gap that requires urgent strategic intervention.
