SMRTTECH 3CC3 - Cloud Computing and Internet of Things
A CloudLab-styled course portal where interactive laboratory manuals connect directly to the shared SMRTTECH Skill Tree, so students can move from a task to the supporting concept without losing their place.
System Architecture
The hub routes students into each lab, and contextual links open the shared Skill Tree at the relevant concept. The Skill Tree then returns students to the same lab stage.
Start page, lab catalog, architecture overview, and student orientation.
Interactive stages, measurements, checks, and evidence capture.
Connected explanations, diagrams, official references, and troubleshooting guidance.
McMaster styling, diagrams, lab figures, and course-owned media.
New labs plug into the same shell, reference model, and visual system.
Information Model
Procedures, stages, tables, quizzes, and checklists.
Reusable explanations independent of a single lab.
Local student entries, measurements, predictions, and reflections.
Implementation Model
The current build can run as a static site on GitHub Pages, a school server, or an LMS content page. Student work remains local in the browser unless the school later connects an approved LMS/LTI workflow.
