RE: Developing a Proof of Concept for Education on Steemit

in #education • 7 years ago

This is a great idea, glad someone is starting something education related on Steemit. I do have a few questions :

  • How will Steemit be used as a platform to deliver content?
  • How will the students' grasp on knowledge be assessed? Thus far Steemit's upvoting + reputation systems are great, but may not reliably assess the students' abilities.
  • Indexing the notes/content can be difficult as such, how can the course allow for students to go back to content that was published some time back?

I too am exploring how a course can be better implemented on Steemit and these are the challenges. Nonetheless, hope to hear your thoughts and great idea!

    @alvinauh, thanks so much for these great comments.

    • (Part 1 and 2) @kenfinkel will be using @phillyhistory as a curator to moderate / reward student content. We're currently working closely with the account to develop voting metrics that correspond to grading. (Which will be an interesting experiment.) The Steemit public and @sndbox community will be encouraged to engage with these students / ask productive questions and also help explore (mine) valuable content.
    • The #explore1918 tag will be a way for students to explore Philly history / archive articles. We'll also be incentivizing the Steemit public to explore that timeframe as it relates to their own city. 1918 was a particularly interesting year for not just Philadelphia, but the world. There's overlap of narrative there that will be exciting to uncover.
    • Overall, we anticipate the upcoming "communities" feature could play a huge role in organizing research material and the funding accumulated throughout the semester. (There are ways of bootstrapping this without the feature, if need be.)

    We look forward to you and others challenging students to present their content and their findings!
