The legacy education system is plagued with problems that must be addressed. In the United States alone, there are 81.5 million students enrolled in the public education system. The US government spends $680 billion annually, over 7% of its GDP on education. This equates to more money per student than in most other countries, and yet per a report from the Social Progress Index, the US is ranked 91st out of 163 countries when it comes to access to quality education. But the problems that plague the US education system are not unique – they plague other nations as well.
While there are a million and one opinions on what’s wrong, and why and how to fix the system, we have reached a global consensus on two points: First, the modern education system is failing. Second, students’ lack of motivation has reached an all-time high.
Technology has become an inseparable part of our daily lives, especially with the recent generations. We never leave the house without our phones and the ongoing pandemic has only made us turn to technology even more for comfort. The advances of the gaming industry have made its products addictive. Is it strange then that students are more interested in gaming than learning? Now, this is a clear problem for educational institutions, but could it also be the solution?
Implementing the principles of gamification into the workings of its platform, Studyum is turning the problem into a solution. By harnessing the power of advanced technological solutions like blockchain, NFTs, and visual technology, Studyum is building an edtech platform designed for success in the modern world.
What is Studyum?
Studyum is a revolutionary learning platform built on a secure decentralized blockchain. It combines artificial intelligence, machine learning, facial recognition, 3D avatars and NFT to offer an unrivaled experience for educators and students.
The Studyum platform tackles the problems of the educational system by creating an environment where students are effectively motivated to succeed. Studyum addresses the issues by merging its innovations with the learning experience, for both educators’ and students’ benefit.
The Studyum platform will utilize the STUD token as the utility token of the platform.
Benefits for educators:
- Access to a groundbreaking learning management system.
- An intuitive platform to create content in 2D or 3D and generate unique NFT collectible cards.
- Tools to motivate their students, combined with a reward system that encourages progress on the platform.
For teachers, the tools they need are now at their fingertips, allowing them to reach and engage students like never before.
Benefits for students:
- Tailored digital learning experience, with facial microexpression analysis to follow the student’s style and needs.
- Outstanding 3D avatars that connect the online and physical world together.
- A unique combination of VR, AI and machine learning.
- A reward system with tokenized NFT collectibles.
- Access to a decentralized NFTfi marketplace, where users can swap, stake, and trade.
- Tools to optimize student’s learning, such as the SMARTchat and the support of the community.
Studyum allows students to learn their own way and at their own pace so they are never “left behind.” The platform adapts to them, and not vice versa.
A look inside: The immediate functionalities
With the launch of Studyum, these functionalities are operational from day one:
- Licensing courses for coaches. This makes it easier and more efficient to implement a better user experience for the coaches, students, and parents.
- Training programs for coaches and parents. This means all those who participate can contribute to the success of education.
- Training programs for students. The uniformity of this successful user experience will give structure to the innovative methods of the Studyum platform.
- Group and individual learning. This is the best of both worlds. No student gets “left behind” while the success of group learning is also ensured.
- Homework section. This allows for homework to be set up, all on the platform.
- A lesson-by-lesson curriculum and course roadmaps. This gives the educators a turnkey solution, so they have the resources to focus on the success of each student.
- Creation of user blocks, so that AI can be used to help provide personalized programming. The user does not have access to this information, as it is stored privately. Using AI can ensure this is a tailored experience so everyone can win.
A look ahead: The future functionalities
Voting and staking tokens are important future functions of the platform.
A portion of the unsold tokens from the IDO launch (see explanation below) will be frozen to provide funding for any STUD token holder to create content. This will work similarly to many token-curated registries in that an individual stakes a certain amount of STUD to be able to teach a lesson.
If anyone believes that the class holds no purpose or that the teacher is not qualified, they can challenge them for the position of the teacher. The Studyum community can ensure the quality of proposed classes by either challenging the teacher’s competence or the credibility of a class being offered. If an individual succeeds in proving the teacher or the course are inadequate (meaning that the teacher was deemed unworthy), then the person who issued the challenge has a right to the funds staked by the original candidate.
For Investors
As an investor, this project also has the potential to be one of those you wished you hadn’t passed up. How can you be a part of this from the very beginning?
The Studyum ecosystem will utilize the STUD token, powered by the blockchain. STUD tokens will be available for purchase when the IDO stage starts.
An Initial Dex Offering or IDO is a fundraising method in which the token is issued via a decentralized liquidity exchange that relies on liquidity pools. You can swap your tokens with other traders in the exchange. Investors can buy tokens at the point of launch, then resell them at a higher price later in the IDO process.
