Review on EduCoin by Robert Barcenas
EduCoin, a platform created to strengthen online education.
Blockchain technology has now also reached the educational environment. We well know that education must change according to the rate at which societies change in such a way that it adapts to them and improves the quality of life. Hence, today there is much talk about online education, since many people spend much of their time connected on the web with mobile or desktop devices. Educoin is a platform that, in general lines, was created with the intention of improving all aspects related to online education, such as content distribution, payment systems for hiring teaching staff, learning or evaluation strategies. , teaching resources, among others.
What is innovative about the platform? Although many skeptics will say that there are many platforms dedicated to offering online education, it should be noted that most of these are centralized systems that for the economic benefit have neglected the quality or efficiency of educational processes. EduCoin seeks precisely to eradicate this problem, offering a decentralized service, where the EDU (native token) is the cryptocurrency used for the procedures of educational services.
In my particular case, I like the idea that there are platforms like EduCoin that are interested in improving the quality of online educational processes in all its aspects.
This platform also undoubtedly represents a great opportunity for many teachers, especially now that with the pandemic many educational institutions have closed their classrooms and opted for the online education model.
Pros
- EduCoin is a global platform, it allows you to interact with people from other countries, expanding employment possibilities.
- Something innovative is the pricing for shared content. Although teachers can set the price of the teaching materials they share on the platform, users or consumers have the possibility to assess the quality of the material and also establish its price, thus reaching a consensus through a feedback process .
- The possibility offered by the platform to offer live classes online, improves user interaction and better understanding of the content.
- The platform offers additional incentives for offering high-quality teaching material.
- The project extends to people of various ages and educational levels.
Cons
- I joined their social network telegram and they make many comments that although they may be of interest to some, they are not necessarily related to the EDUCOIN platform
