Online Education, the future of learning?

[dudusix9]

The year 2020 made us realize that we should be prepared for anything. So many jobs have been lost, businesses and establishments were closing. Schools have closed entirely as well.

So we are now into this new age that most of the things we are doing are online. Food, grocery, shopping, and most importantly, education. Schools have created modules for what they call distant learning. I know this is not that new, but I am just curious to know if this pandemic will change everything we know about.

I am not new to crypto or blockchain but I don't have any extensive knowledge regarding the technicalities. Do you guys think that there is a use case for blockchain on online education?

Im not seeing the usefulness of blockchain for the online education and as far as i know that if blockchain can only be used on the financial sector. The online education didn't need blockchain and it can be done anytime.
Maybe the blockchain will be used as a payment channel for such online education but almost all of projects tried to implement this thing already failed to meet what they have expected in the past.

yes, Google and Youtube will be your good teacher. What specific kind you want to learn?. as I know there is 9 top education about blockchain out there source pick one if you were interesting.

don't go far away, in here (forum) you will learn much about it.

It is already changing and you've mentioned a lot of things about it already.

Maybe for certificates. Using blockchain can legitimately verify a student's certificate or diploma if it's registered and it's not a fake one. I think that's the best use that it can because it's publicly posted just for the verification if the student has really gone through that university or college.

Looking on how students study during lockdown, I think it to early to speak about bright future or blockchain online learning. First of all, do we have a lot good teachers? Those who can really teach and make their subject interesting to learn?

I see online education during lockdown is divided into two parts: 1) kids study online, and their require parents help, as they dont learn much new, but do a lot of homework. Parents instead of working online from home, spend half of the day doing homework with their kid and checking it. 2) lessons last for few hours only. while when the kids were in school, they spend 9:00 to 13:00 studying.

Blockchain online study - how do you see it? Is it going to be 5-10h course, which you simply listen or read, and free to go. Or 1 semester class?

Online education?
It would suit for those studying in ITs or even in CS. Business courses would also do because most projects in crypto are related to blockchain, especially for entrepreneurs.
Though I am not sure how many people are really willing to commit their time in learning it because there's just too many technicalities to it, setting aside programming.

blockchain may be very useful in the lockdown learning process. maybe there will be several blockchain-based platforms that are able to simplify the learning process, whether it's in terms of speed, or in terms of the quality of the videos that are displayed, although I also don't really understand that. but for now, decentralized technology makes it possible for developers to be able to create platforms with pretty good innovation

Thanks for your replies, it makes sense what you guys have said. The best use case must be for the process for schools will have like for payments, certificates, etc. Any computer-related courses might have something in the future I guess? But for online courses, I have seen something before like Pearson Education, which has online courses and modules way before it was popular. You can also learn different things from websites like Udemy, Coursera, and even Youtube. Maybe we will have something like that in the future or we already have but most of us don't know yet.

I think there's a use case for skills and accomplishments on the blockchain sure. I hope that education movest from a push system to a pull. What I mean is that students are forced to waste time on things they don't have interest in. I'd rather see students have their skills and accrediations tied to the blockchain and rather then having the learning material prescribed... allow them to choose it. My nephew for example is shit at english, arts etc... but crushed it in math and science. Would rather see him thrive in what he likes then struggle with what he doesn't. Not sure how that bit ties into blockchain but I hope it goes that route eventually.

So far, I don't know where to go to study the exact thing you are looking for, but I think that is already very much on the internet, or in bookstores. however, so far I also still have not much knowledge about blockchain and the crypto world, it's just that I studied it myself until now. Try checking out YouTube to find out what you want to know.

Blockchain can have a huge impact on education since it can provide an online and secure database. Some universities use blockchain to store certifications and to avoid faking them. During a lockdown probably blockchain can change the education process if universities are looking for an alternative way of disseminating resources. It can be a good thing. Also, I think it's time for educational institutions to provide modern learning that most people need. 

Moreover, studying blockchain online for individuals/students can be useful to establish their skills and learning. There are courses and videos you can read/watch.

There is still a lot of argument on the replacement of many onground classes to online. Educational system found some courses difficult to be taught and assess online, also a lot of income will be lost through online classes, from house rent, local product exchange, transportation etc. Cryptocurrency could be a fast way of paying but can the volatility of the sustain the exchange. Pandemic will change a lot of thing but the socioeconomic impact of some of the online adoption will need proper evaluation.

Those courses are good but they have not yet available for the crypto as a way to pay their courses. CMIIW but I'm still actively learning on udemy right now and I just wanna say this based on my story.

Basically, if you are looking for the computer-related course and you can find a lot of free course like CS-50 or CS-100 for the intermediate programmer.
That's why blockchain is not so important to be used as a part of the course. It plays no role.

Before I even knew about Bitcoin, I tried to apply to an online course related to programming.  I think developers can find a way to apply it to Blockchain as well.  With the development of technology and innovations in this modern age, it is not impossible to overcome if they focus on it and give interest that will benefit online education not just for profit.  I also saw a project like this when ICOs and bounties were still rampant, maybe if they had just continued and not neglected they would have benefited now.  But there is no hope because the project is dead.

I think blockchain isnt capable to do online education, but i imagine a blockchain can be used to store a portfolio of Online Certificate.
So basicly its like Linkedin but on Blockchain so everyone can search based on person or based on Sertificate, isnt it interesting?

Yes, that's very interesting, but what you think today can also happen the other way around because the world is getting more and more sophisticated with various technologies that are born where it can cover any flaws that still exist on the blockchain.

There are things that still need actual or face to face learning like for example swimming you can't learn swimming online, you need to do it in the water, of course, things that are okay online are technological or things that are connected via technology or connected to the internet, yes we can do things online but still, we need to do it on actual, or face to face interaction, we really can't remove the face to face education.

[lousie9]

yes it all started with the corona virus and even globally it still applies in 2021. as long as this virus cannot be completely eradicated then bad life will continue. but on the other hand this has an impact on the online industry. Orang2 started looking for work online during the COVID-19 pandemic. but so far I haven't seen the blockchain industry being used for online education. as time goes by, maybe another time there will be.

The world changes with time, and it's obviously clear that the pandemic has made the world to change towards online education through that process, understanding more to it and how important it is. Therefore bringing this change aspect to the crypto space; taking a look at it from years back to this day, you will see that a lot has changed, many projects have been launched with a whole new ideas, different blockchain's smart contracts are currently being worked on to offer more and so on, thus I believe blockchain can be used in different sector. One of the issues however is having a good team which can build a good project; it's not as if there haven't being any educational project on the blockchain, there have been, but they are no where to be found now which could mean we are yet to have a good team that are experienced enough to launch and maintain one.
So to answer your question in essence; since others have tried, that means an online education can be launched on the blockchain but should be from a team that knows what they want and ready to achieve it.

One area where blockchain can be used in educational area is where we can issue digital certificates for course completion and such in blockchain so that they are easy to prove and prevent frauds and duplicate certificates.

No, Google can’t clearly answer all my questions, and many of videos on YouTube don’t provide enough information.
