A “Smart Open Education Ecosystem” is suggested by Mehmet Frat’s research at Anadolu University as a solution to the problems with conventional education.
Blockchain, decentralized autonomous organizations, NFTs, multimodal learning analytics, and AI are all combined in this self-contained educational ecosystem.
Blockchain-AI integration
In Frat’s study, an open education model is implemented using blockchain technology and generative AI systems like ChatGPT in order to address issues of equity, fair opportunity, and access in the educational system.
With a DAO in charge of overseeing everything, the system will use NFTs to customize learning experiences. All students will receive individualized learning experiences as part of the effort to democratize learning.
- Mehmet Frat’s research proposes Smart Open Education Ecosystem for conventional education problems.
- DAO oversees NFTs for personalized learning experiences, democratizing education.
- Frat’s research explores blockchain-based open education, transforming access to lifelong free learning.
However, big data, blockchain, and AI technologies are not integrated into the present open educational systems. Frat’s study attempts to close this gap and bring about a singularity in education where creators no longer have any control over the technology.
The SOEE has a wide range of potential advantages, including increased accessibility, customization, educational quality, security, and openness. The system also provides equitable opportunity, democratic governance, protection of intellectual property, international cooperation, reusable educational materials, preservation of variety, innovation in learning, and support for student success and career planning.
Although Frat’s research is not the first to examine open education based on blockchains, it is one of the most comprehensive. The fusion of these technologies has the power to transform education and open up access to lifelong free education for everyone.
The potential advantages of the SOEE in altering education systems around the world are recommended to be further investigated by educational stakeholders and policymakers.
