Introduction to Learning Materials Working Group

The Learning Materials Development working group reports to the Hyperledger Technical Steering Committee. It is focused on developing open source training material (licensed as specified by the Hyperledger Charter) to educate people interested in expanding their knowledge of Hyperledger and its projects. The working group will consult with other Hyperledger working groups, Hyperledger team members, and the project maintainers to identify training needs and develop strategies, as well as, material to address those needs. The output of this working group will be targeted towards both technical and non-technical audiences.

      Hello all,

      I'm working with the US Department of Ed and am doing research on blockchain efforts in education. One thing we found rather quickly when attempting to describe the various efforts is that a categorization of the types of efforts would add clarity when writing and speaking about them. We would like your assistance in developing this taxonomy. Hopefully, it serves broader needs.

      This doc contains what we've started:

      https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JgiKHBizQnnBqPY4r29N9SsRbiPHPl-iZ8OzMBETSpI/edit?usp=sharing

      We are seeking your feedback on the terms and definitions. Also, please suggest any categories that are missing.

      Anyone with this link should be able to comment on this doc.  We can also use this thread for discussion.

      Thanks for your help!

      Kerri
