Project Plan - Global scouting of DLT / Blockchain Educational opportunities.

Sept 02, 2021

Abstract

The Wiki Page is the entry point to the Galaxy of Hyperledger. Our team keeps a Resource Library of Hyperledger Projects and Tools, Use Cases, Key Terms, Learning Materials for Special Interest Groups and Working Groups, Templates, Meetups, Labs, Marketing, and News. As well as a sinopsis of current events, announcements, community events, requirements for Best Practice Badges, GitHub resources. We proof-read edX Blockchain courses for Linux Foundation (Hyperledger). We have 50+ registered and recorded meeting agendas.

We want to identify and contact potential allies to link our inner Hyperledger Universe with the rest of the world. We need scouts to explore, register and map the outer territories beyond our community.

For additional information, please look at:

Learning Materials Development Working Group

Project Description on LMDWG page

Objectives

  • We want to initiate a Decentralised Global Directory of DLT / Blockchain Educational Opportunities, that engages a Community to build and maintain it, and to develop a Tool Kit that supports this collaboration.

  • We envision five core activities:

    • Taxonomy Generation for Educational Opportunities.

    • Questionnaire for Meetups, SIGs and WGs.

    • Web Crawler and scraper for scraping learning resources.

    • Curatorship for the existing wiki by learning materials group.

    • Knowledge Graph of the taxonomy.

  • The above five activities are repeated in a iterative fashion, as we iterate over, we take forward the learnings from the past iteration and come up with fine refinements to the existing results.

  • At the end of this mentorship, we will have achieved the following:

    • A simple, but strong and representative, version of our Directory.

    • A small, but geographically extended, working community.

    • A basic set of tools to support collaboration.

    • A final report and a blog covering the process.

    • A knowledge graph of the taxonomy.
