Cyber Futures

Market Place

Cyber Futures Marketplace will allow a student to plan out their education by setting out their career destination and having Cyber Futures online portal map out the different educational and geographic pathways achieving it through a rainbow of providers. Apart from the usual school/college/university offering, the access will be through an online portal as well as physical spaces in the community, both for the enquiry and for the content delivery

Passport

To enable the Marketplace to happen we have designed an Educational Passport: Distributed Learning Ledger based on blockchain technology. This allows for all stakeholders to contribute and take out from the pot by being recognised for their engagement, whether through hard tangible extrinsic learning (eg. certificates) or soft intangible intrinsic learning (eg. experience). The passport captures the value of the learning and articulates it in a knowledge token that can be exchanged

EduCoin

The blockchain token that captures the above knowledge transfer is called an EduCoin which can have both financial value (eg. digital currency like Bitcoin or normal currency ) and non-financial value (eg. Microshare of you, a course, an organisation, an idea, etc). The EduCoin is to fulfil the United Nations SDG’s (sustainable development goals - #4 “Ensure inclusive and quality education for all and promote lifelong learning”). It is part of a family of SDG Coins. It also allows investors who believe in each goal to buy into the educational value set
