Arc Modules: Next-Generation Online Course Modules Powered by AI, Blockchain, and The Science of Learning
1. Overview
Arc Modules are advanced online course modules designed to provide an interactive, social, and financially incentivized learning experience.
They utilize AI-driven tasking, real-time collaboration, and blockchain-based credentialing to enhance engagement and verification in educational ecosystems.
The main authentic feature of the Arc Modules is that they have a base standard of quality that is verified by the Campus Arc.
2. Core Features
2.1. AI-Assisted Tasking
- Automatically evaluates student submissions that measures complex skills, according to the pre-defined rubrics for each task.
- Provides detailed feedback and redirections for improvements to the students.
- Enhances the learning process through adaptive AI-driven assessments.
2.2. Hands-on & Project-Based Learning
- Students are required to complete a minimum number of practical tasks before progressing.
- Students are required to submit actual projects and/or case studies to demonstrate their competency.
- Ensures competency validation via final project submissions.
2.3. Real-time Collaboration
- Enables students within the same Arc Module to collaborate in real-time.
- Supports live discussions, peer reviews, and teamwork.
- Enhances the social learning experience through community-driven interactions.
2.4. Blockchain-Powered Credentials
- Issues verifiable, decentralized certificates upon course completion (OC Credentials).
- Ensures proof of competency with tamper-proof credentials.
- Utilizes EDU Chain and Open Campus technologies for transparent and secure certification.
2.5. Socialized Learning Experience
- Integrates social tasks that require students to engage with peers in real life.
- Encourages cross-campus and even cross-city collaborations and group works. Including peer-learning to the e-learning experience.
- Builds a learning network for knowledge sharing.
2.6. Instructor-Paced & Up-to-Date Learning
- Each Arc Module has a life span (e.g., 14 days, 28 days, or 2 months) where students and the creators of the module can actively engage in the Arc Module.
- Instructor-paced modules ensure timely content delivery and dynamic updates.
- Students always have access to up-to-date learning materials and activities.
2.7. Rubric-Based Content
- Each Arc Module has a set of rubrics that define the expectations from the students for each achievement that Arc Module promises.
- The rubrics are used to evaluate the quality of the module and the submissions of the students.
3. Financial Incentivization
3.1. Stake & Learn & Earn Mechanism
- Allows students to stake (freeze) $EDU tokens for access to Arc Modules.
- The staked $EDU tokens are locked and cannot be withdrawn until the Arc Module's life span ends.
- The value of the staked $EDU tokens compoundly increase based on a coefficient, pre-defined by the Campus Arc.
- Learners earn $EDU tokens upon course completion.
- This model encourages continuous engagement through financial incentives.
- The amount of $EDU tokens that can be staked is limited and determined by the Arc Module's creator with the assistance of Campus Arc.
3.2. Incentives for Creators (Educators, Companies, and Communities)
- Enables educators and organizations to create and manage Arc Modules.
- Allows institutions to monetize high-quality course content.
- Drives growth through community participation and knowledge sharing.
4. Conclusion
Arc Modules redefine online education by combining AI, blockchain, and gamified learning. They empower students, educators, and communities to connect, learn, grow, and earn within a decentralized educational ecosystem. By leveraging Web3 technologies and real-world competency validation, Arc Modules are set to revolutionize the future of learning.
Arc Modules are at the heart of Campus Arc, designed to revolutionize online education through interactive, gamified, social, and rewarding learning experiences. They offer students and professionals a hands-on, social, and dynamic way to acquire new skills and demonstrate real-world competency.
