Abstract

Learning Tokens is a mechanism that uses the composable Interwork Alliance Token Taxonomy Framework (IWA TTF) to produce a Learning Token as a positive reinforcer that recognizes, registers, and rewards community engagement in collective learning, and also certifying skills acquisition and competencies.

Week #	Dates	Activities	Meetings notes
1	June 1 - June 11	Coordination with Mentee. Review and approval of working plan. Identification of Focal Points at Hyperledger and Linux Foundations.	We discussed our working plan and review the activities we're committed to accomplish by the end of the mentorship.
2	June 12 - June 18	Planning of Workshop for Business Case and Economic Model for digitization.	We started conversation with potential sponsors and got some special support. We reviewed our lab proposal and did our pull request with our changes. We started planning ahead our workshop for week 3, and defined our public: First, we'll gather our lab team (Applicants/contributors, Sponsors) We're meeting with interested parties and communities which we've come to work together (UCA, Cloud Native El Salvador Chapter)
3	June 19 - June 25	Workshop for Business Case and Economic Model. Two Virtual Meetups to engage communities. One Virtual Workshop for interested parties.	We had a meetup with the Hyperledger Latinoamérica Regional Chapter, where we talked about Learning Tokens and IWA, and the process of creating new definitions of tokens with the IWA Token Designer. Link: We also had virtual meetup and workshop with our partners in Universidad Centroamericana José Simeón Cañas (UCA) to discuss Learning Tokens as lab, and start a small pilot implementation of Learning Tokens for different courses given by the institution. Link:
4	June 26 - July 2	Report of Business Case and Economic Model.	After we had our meetups and workshop with Hyperledger Latinoamérica Regional Chapter and UCA, my mentor and I discussed the creation of the Report of Business Case and Economic Model. (Which is in progress)

Methodology

My work strategy for the following 24 weeks are based on the following premises:

Following and completing each activity described on the timeline and on each milestone as it is.
As I start working on each task, I'll keep in touch with my mentor, and we'll meet every week once or twice to discuss ideas.
Documenting every meeting and work that is part of the mentorship to keep everything transparent and clear.
If something unexpected comes up, I'll get in touch right away with my mentor, so we can find a suitable solution to keep up with everything.
