We further use this data to determine hardware platforms integration statistics and distribution based on the number of courses, types of platforms employed and institutions using them as learning technologies.

We use this data to determine the degree to which these platforms are used as effective learning technologies in existing courses. course syllabi or outlines) through publicly available web informational resources (e.g. We examine curriculum and instructional material (e.g. In this work, we conduct an analytical investigation on the plurality of courses that utilize or integrate hardware prototyping platforms. Integrating hardware prototyping platforms such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi or BeagleBone Board in education is becoming more prevalent as the number of courses utilizing such platforms is continuously increasing.
