Blockchain Technologies are positively disrupting a lot of businesses around the world. And the dramatic (POSITIVE) changes for education are just starting!
BitDegree, a Decentralized Education Ecosystem, is starting to launch their first courses and games.
The BitDegree platform will offer students the best online courses with a clear and transparent blockchain based reward system and achievement tracking. It is also a unique tool for businesses to recruit tech talent and shape global education to their needs. Think of it as Coursera and HackerRank merged together, powered by the decentralized blockchain technology.
The idea behind BitDegre is to gamify the learning process by having Businesses (Sponsors) paying money to acquire token from third parties. Token that they will then give to Students as scholarship / rewards to finish courses in the fields the company is interested in. The students can then get services or products from Third Parties with these Token.
Hypothetical Example:
Third Party: Let's say Agoda starts to accept BDG Token as payment method...
Sponsors: Let's say Google needs new Full Stack Web Developers...
Student: Let's say you need a job and wants to go on Vacation!
By enrolling into and performing well in Full Stack Web Development courses, you will get tokens from GOOGLE as a reward. These token will pay for your next vacation at AGODA and you will get a chance to get a Job at GOOGLE!
