      abstract = {Rapid advancements in Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have significantly transformed educational practices, with the evolution of the internet from a medium of communication to the Internet of Things (IoT), enabling interconnected devices to exchange data with minimal human intervention and support interactive learning environments. This study investigated undergraduates? level of awareness, utilisation, and attitude toward the use of IoT for interactive learning at the University in Ilorin, Nigeria, using a descriptive survey research design. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered to 118 undergraduate students drawn from the the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Communication and Information Sciences. The collected data were analysed using frequency counts, percentages, and mean scores, while hypotheses were tested at the 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that the undergraduates possessed a high level of awareness of IoT tools for interactive learning, with 70.9% indicating awareness, and demonstrated a high level of utilisation, as reflected by a grand mean score of 3.35 on a 4-point scale. Students reported that the use of IoT-enhanced internet resources improved their understanding of complex concepts (X? = 3.53) and exhibited a positive attitude toward the adoption of IoT for interactive learning (X? = 2.96). Hypothesis testing showed no significant differences in awareness or utilisation of IoT for interactive learning based on gender or faculty. The study concluded that undergraduates at the University in Ilorin were well-prepared and receptive to emerging IoT technologies, with adoption appearing inclusive across demographic groups, implying a strong institutional readiness for technology-driven learning environments.},
