I guess the blockchain development side of things, but which after most of the work will be automated after integrating to the blockchain.
i will be carrying them both as i’d be getting help to maintain them, also future reference is that i will need a Social media term or use AI. but a team is better can help me improve my social skills
Okay, i wrote something long but i’ll just cut it short, - Academy try to to explain the uses of blockchain apart from financial services, and also to encourage people to tokenize their business, ideas whatever they can come up with, and offer basic education for that.
NFT Marketplace a service that will offer digital ownership, and the ability to buy, sell, etc.
also to help those who want to sell their content, outside the country and to make things digital.
Long story short personal reasons of over looking into the future, where digital is everthing and people not having the resources, both in education (JOB SKILLS) and entertainment (ARTS & CULTURE).
Also blockchain tech is awesome, who knows we might run windows on a blockchain soon to reduce componets of a pc or laptop.
(i) How can smart contracts be used to automate tuition payments?
Contract Creation: A smart contract is created for each student upon enrollment, specifying the course, tuition amount, payment schedule, and other relevant details.
Payment Trigger: The contract includes conditions that trigger payment based on predefined milestones, such as a certain date or completion of specific course modules.
Token Transfer: When the conditions are met, the smart contract automatically transfers the agreed-upon tuition amount in cryptocurrency or digital tokens from the student’s wallet to the academy’s wallet.
Transparency: All payment transactions are recorded on the blockchain, ensuring transparency and accountability.
(ii) How can smart contracts be used to manage course enrollments?
Managing Course Enrollments: Smart contracts can streamline the course enrollment process by reducing administrative overhead and ensuring accurate records:
Contract Creation: A smart contract is generated for each course offering, containing information about the course, instructor, schedule, capacity, and enrollment deadline.
Enrollment Verification: When a student wishes to enroll, they interact with the smart contract to request enrollment.
Capacity Control: The smart contract checks the course’s capacity and verifies whether there are available slots. If available, the contract registers the student for the course.
Waitlist Management: If the course is full, the smart contract can place the student on a waitlist and automatically enroll them if a spot becomes available.
(iii) How can smart contracts be used to enforce attendance policies?
Enforcing Attendance Policies: Smart contracts can help enforce attendance policies by creating a tamper-proof record of attendance:
Attendance Recording: A smart contract can be set up to record attendance based on interactions, such as scanning a QR code or participating in an online session.
Criteria Enforcement: The contract can define attendance criteria, such as minimum participation hours, to ensure students meet requirements.
Automated Notifications: If a student’s attendance falls below the threshold, the smart contract can trigger automated notifications to students, instructors, or administrators.
(iv) What are the benefits of using smart contracts for automation in academic?
Benefits of Using Smart Contracts for Automation in Academic:
Transparency: Smart contracts provide a transparent and auditable record of transactions and activities.
Efficiency: Automation reduces manual administrative tasks, saving time and resources.
Accuracy: Smart contracts execute actions based on predefined conditions, reducing the risk of human error.
Trust: Participants can trust that contract terms will be executed as programmed, eliminating the need for intermediaries.
Immutable Records: Transactions recorded on the blockchain cannot be altered, enhancing data integrity.
(v) What are the challenges of using smart contracts for automation in academic?
Challenges of Using Smart Contracts for Automation in Academic:
Technical Complexity: Developing and implementing smart contracts require expertise in blockchain development.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring smart contracts comply with relevant laws and regulations can be complex.
User Adoption: Participants need to understand how to interact with smart contracts, which may require a learning curve.
Security: Vulnerabilities in smart contracts can lead to exploits, necessitating rigorous testing and auditing.
Flexibility: Once a smart contract is deployed, changing its terms can be challenging and may require further contracts.
Costs: Developing, deploying, and interacting with smart contracts can involve transaction fees and development costs.
Privacy: Depending on the blockchain used, certain information might be public, potentially posing privacy concerns.
On the privacy it would have been nice is BTTC had a Nightfall blockchain, but i guess only time will tell,
Please note that because some courses will be free people will be paying gas fees, and a complex as is sounds, starting simple an upgrading with time will allow smart contract vulnerabilites to come up,
option for a wallet that pays gas fee is also on the cards,
@ Blockchain Academy.
Indeed this is interesting but I still have more and important questions.
(1) What are the benefits of using blockchain technology.
(2) What are the challenges of using blockchain technology.
(3) What are the different applications of blockchain technology in the education industry.
(4) How can blockchain technology be used to improve the security of academic records.
(5) How can blockchain technology be used to create a more transparent and accountable education system,and what are the skills and knowledge that are necessary for a career in blockchain technology.
(6) What are the best resources for learning about blockchain technology.
(7) What are the different courses and programs that are offered by your blockchain education platform and what are the different features of your Learning Management System (LMS) and also how do you facilitate live online classes and workshops.
(8)What are the different software tools and applications that are used for hands-on practice and experimentation and what are the different ways that students can get help from tutors.
The benefits in this case are sercurity, data integrity, gobal accessibility, and immutability.
That would user experience, in which case getting student who don’t have no idea how a crypto wallet works, and how to safe guard their pvt keys.
The cost in which the blockchain fees become expensive, & smart contract vulnerabilities
Peer to Peer learning, Secure Student data management, lifelong learning records, intellectaul property, digital identity, is a long list.
temper proof is the best one,
Data encryption, Digital signature, Credential Portability, Minimized risk of loss, verification and auditing, timestamping.
It can play a pivotal role in creating a more transparent and accountable education system by providing a secure and tamper-proof record of transactions, improving data sharing and access, and enhancing trust among stakeholders.
As for the skills and knowledge necessary for a career in blockchain technology, blockchain fundamentals, smart contracts development, blockchain platforms in this case BitTorrent, problem solving skills, cryptography techniques used in blockchain for sercurity and privacy.
The best resources are website and online platforms, I wouldn’t youtube as most of the time they leave out some information, Forums and communities,
The one i’d like to try is a pilot in a high school as an extra academic.
Blockchain Scalability and Interoperability, Blockchain Governance and Regulation, Blockchain and Internet of Things (IoT), Blockchain in Finance and Banking, Blockchain Project Management, Blockchain for Healthcare, Blockchain and Social Impact, Blockchain and Energy Sector, Blockchain for Voting Systems, Blockchain and Legal Contracts, Blockchain and Insurance, etc the are about 50 courses that will be coverd and some are the same as other platforms.
live classes are best done with a one on one session
Ways student can get help from tutors: Online chat and forums, scheduled appointments, interactive webinars, peer collaboration, recorded turorials,
The tools that will be added are the tools used for eth development but will also add Tron as its different from EVM.
You are welcome once again. I read somewhere about tutors. Have you planned with some tutors? How are you going to attract skilled tutors to your platform?
Good day @Kojopapo, how you holding up??
Please i have a question to ask.
We all know that to learn something new a person has to atleast have a relevant previous knowledge before being accepted.
Do i have to hold a degree in computer programming or any related education background before i can register to be part of the Blockchain Academy?
What languages will your platform support, i know my brother @antonio, spanish speaking person would love to enroll. Will language be a barrier for such a person.
And lastly, what are the careers one should expect to be employed in after taking courses by the Blockchain Academy.
true, but computer lliteracy is a requirement for some courses or modules.
No you can register if you think you can do that courses an pass.
Thinking of using Geo language translator for the whole platform, only problem would be on video’s thats way in opting on one on one tutoring but will change as time goes and as we grow.
Well from the courses im putting on the platform the are alot? i’ll give 5
Blockchain Financial Analyst
Agriculture Blockchain Consultant
E-Governance Blockchain Consultant
Blockchain Compliance Officer
Blockchain Business Strategist
Tokenization Specialist
But i’m hoping the students don’t rely on getting jobs as most of the assigments require actual projects and development to be done, and through the platform forum they can help each create something of themselves,
put still if they feel to get jobs then they must pass the assignments at 100% and 80% throughout the course
Just incases you ask why 100% on the assignment it’s because that will be part of your portfolio and what employers will want to check
1st i need to get blockchain developers as the courses should be certificate of competency, and also create short courses for certificate of completion, in which they could add their own courses if they wish.
Also rare to find people wanting to learn about blockchain, as most people still think it’s a phase that will pass, which gives us time for marketing, getting all needed resourses, finding the right developers, but that would be a big hit when tokenization start to roll in.
But once we get developers it would be easy to get businesses into training their employees,
so honestly from 2025, if im not rushing the project plus V3 decentralized blockchain development would be a norm by then
to reduce componets of a pc or laptop.
exactly would save time on job posts through linkedin.
