Wow @smooth thanks!
So this is the first cadre of the students in Dr Padilla's class for this semester.
If this works well then we will be talking with the local colleges to integrate social media via steemit into the curriculum.
Obviously it won't work for every degree, like @lemouth was saying there are some courses where it doesn't make sense.
But I was thinking, imagine if most classes had a "post your work to steemit" just as a matter of course. The hook here being that it's a great way to check for plagiarism, academic authenticity, and at least in theory the upvote slider makes an easy way to mark a permanent grade. Not only in the eyes of a single teacher but in the eyes of the community.
This will be the topic of my next blog but I wanted to run the concept by you and some of the other whales first. I know we set out to make it the next Facebook. But what if we evolved to encourage more of this? Not just medicine but pretty much any topic of higher learning.
