Amazing project! Congrats!
Some questions that I've had for some time:
What kind of courses will the university offer?
I'm picturing myself sitting in a lecture room besides many more students listening to a professor give a lecture himself; being able to make questions live. Is that a correct picture of the future of the project?
Are you thinking about partnerships with established universities so they can offer courses at DCL?
Thanks...
The University will offer a mix of learning mediums- live classes, self-study learning and collaboration. The self study interactions will be basic in the early days. I think the social / interactive end of the learning will take place 'in world', but users will also be able to access other kinds of VR content from within the Decentraland University classrooms.
This is a virtual world , so your avatar will be in that lecture room and you will see the avatars of other people. You would be able to make questions live. But there will be other models as well.
Yes most definitely thinking about partnerships of all types. That clearly would include real world universities, but I would say that there are some blockchain startups in the education space that are doing some very interesting things. We have already reached out to a couple and have a few more in mind.
