The Internet of Things (IoT) is quickly gaining traction as the next generation of communication infrastructure, combining a wide range of multi-scale sensors and seamlessly blended devices for ubiquitous computing and communication.The demand for experienced professionals in the field teaching Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) has increased due to the rapid growth of IoT applications. Because there are few if any, dedicated IoT courses currently available, most STEM students will have limited or no exposure to IoT development until after graduation, leaving them underprepared to enter the workforce.Furthermore, STEM learners are increasingly being served in general education classes, where teachers may be ill-equipped to meet their needs. To address the needs of students for an effective online teaching environment to develop students' achievement in STEM, Internet of Things (IoT) can be used. This paper seeks to provide a literature review of the possible uses of IoT in enhancing the quality of teaching and learning processes ofstudents learning STEM in the age of the Covid-19 pandemic.
