  Computing devices such as laptops, tablets and mobile phones have become part
of our daily lives. End users increasingly know more and more information about
these devices. Further, more technically savvy end users know how such devices
are being built and know how to choose one over the others. However, we cannot
say the same about the Internet of Things (IoT) products. Due to its infancy
nature of the marketplace, end users have very little idea about IoT products.
To address this issue, we developed a method, a crowdsourced peer learning
activity, supported by an online platform (OLYMPUS) to enable a group of
learners to learn IoT products space better. We conducted two different user
studies to validate that our tool enables better IoT education. Our method
guide learners to think more deeply about IoT products and their design
decisions. The learning platform we developed is open source and available for
the community.
