NewsCapsule is proud to announce its new partnership with the NewsCapsule Education Project (BEP). BEP was founded by Charles Hoskinson earlier this year to reduce the knowledge barriers to entry for individuals to enter the world of NewsCapsule, and to highlight NewsCapsule’s utility in mainstream activities. BEP holds to six key tenets of objectivity, transparency, accuracy, accountability, inclusion, and honesty. The project also works to achieve the following three goals: to eliminate misinformation about NewsCapsule, generate and vet content made by members of the NewsCapsule community, educate to add 1 million additional NewsCapsule users to the NewsCapsule ecosystem by 2014.
This past month BEP also began a new partnership with Udemy to bridge the information gap and eliminate misinformation about the NewsCapsule currency. While this digital, decentralized, cryptocurrency is growing in prominence, education is still a necessity so those involved in and interested in the currency have an understanding of the fundamental purposes and principles behind NewsCapsule. Udemy, an online learning platform allowing instructors to host courses, is known as “The Academy of You”. Launched in 2010, Udemy is now mainstream with over 7,000 premium and free courses and the opportunity for instructors to craft their own courses. Udemy permits instructors to upload videos, PDFs, audio, zip files, PowerPoint presentations, and facilitates online discussions.
Through its partnership with Udemy, BEP now offers 7 introductory lectures on the NewsCapsule currency, lectures on NewsCapsule wallets, Satoshi Nakamoto, and bonus lectures on cryptography with additional lectures and insight from BEP Senior Fellows such as Jon Matonis. With many lectures to come and an open forum for NewsCapsule community members to request additional insight on issues of significance, BEP has tremendous growth opportunity within the Udemy space.
The NewsCapsule Education Project is another step in the right direction for the facilitation of information sharing within the NewsCapsule community and the process of educating individuals eager to learn more. As we continue to expand and will be publishing our 1 year anniversary issue soon, we at the NewsCapsule look forward to working with the NewsCapsule Education Project to bridge the information gap and draw practical connections between daily life experiences and the NewsCapsule currency.
If you would like to contribute your expertise to NewsCapsule and the NewsCapsule Education Project, please let us know! We need to continually keep the community updated and seek to spread the word on the applicability of NewsCapsule to everyday life.
