RE: The potential of Miniapps in streamlining education

in #sndbox7 years ago

Interesting concept. I can imaging an additional scenario for the use of Miniapps. With the rise of learning platforms such as Udacity, Usemy, Thinkific, et. al., there is a growing trend of people seeking education from non traditional sources, i.e., universities, community colleges, etc.

Three main drivers behind this trend are reduced costs, availability, and convenience. The rise of online based learning platforms is an attempt to address the needs of providing students with quality education at greatly reduced costs. Students need not concern themselves with room and board, costly big administrative staffs or other costs associated with brick and mortar institutions. Virtually anyone with an decent internet connection will be able to access course outlines, lectures, quizzes and exams and test scores. Finally, many online course are modular in design offer students the flexibility to complete course work at times that better match their individual schedules.

Since Miniapps would sit atop blockchain technology, educators as well as students will receive the associative benefits of a decentralized learning platform.

Thanks for your post.
