 Abstract:

Progress in technology nowadays makes serious competition among universities. Many of them adjust themselves by applying technology and innovation to improve their efficiency in both learning-teaching and management. The goal of using technology and innovation is for students’ satisfaction and being a digital university. Digital activity portfolio system is the tool that helps enhance students’ more effective learning through IOT. It is accepted that system architecture is the important part of effective system development. System architecture makes developers realize the factor concept and environment. In this research, the researcher presented System architecture of digital activity portfolio. The knowledge from studying articles, approaches and theory related was used to synthesize system architecture of digital activity portfolio. The purposes of the research were (1) to design system architecture of digital activity portfolio via the internet of things for digital university and (2) to evaluate the system architecture of digital activity portfolio via the internet of things for digital university. The research procedure was divided into two phases. The first phase is system architecture of digital activity portfolio via the internet of things for digital university design, and the second phase is the architecture evaluation by experts. The samples were 10 experts in the field of a digital portfolio, Internet of things and higher education chosen by purposive sampling. Data collection tools were the system and the assessment of an appropriate model with a 5-level rating scale. The statistics used in data analysis were means and standard deviation. The results showed that 1) the system architecture of digital activity portfolio via the internet of things for digital university consists of 3 tiers; the application tier, the network tier, and the context aware and sensing tier and 2) expert opinions on the system developed were at the good level (  = 4.60, S.D. = 0.51).
