From Web3 to Ed3

From Learning to Ownership

Web3, the shift towards decentralized technology governed by its creators and users is revolutionizing sectors from financial services to entertainment and art.

Imagine a world where you could customize your college education, selecting and paying only for the micro-credentials essential to your career. Envision, possessing a versatile portfolio of these credentials, is recognized and valid across all universities and industries for life.

This is the direction education is heading, towards a model we're calling "Ed3". In contrast to previous models, under Ed3, students possess their education. They use decentralized technology to authenticate their knowledge.

Let's break it down:

• Ed1 marked the era of traditional knowledge transfer by esteemed institutions, such as colleges and high schools.

• Ed2 represented the emergence of centralized platforms for educational content distribution, akin to Udemy, Skillshare, and Outschool.

• Ed3 ushers in an era where individuals acquire skills from diverse sources and authenticate this acquired knowledge and skill set in their personal digital wallets.

To summarize:

• Web1 allowed us to read.

• Web2 added the ability to write.

• Web3 lets us read, write, and own.

Similarly,

• Ed1 was about learning.

• Ed2 introduced teaching alongside learning.

• Ed3 enables us to learn, teach, and own our education.
