Book Description

The internet has undergone a remarkable metamorphosis since its inception. From the static web of the early days (Web 1.0) to the interactive and social web (Web 2.0), and now to the decentralized, intelligent, and immersive web (Web3), the evolution has been nothing short of astounding. This radical transformation has ushered in a new era in the digital realm, one that promises to reshape how we learn, communicate, transact, and interact with the world. Decentralizing the Online Experience with Web3 Technologies offers an exploration of the Web3 era, a transformative phase in the evolution of the internet. Beginning with the foundational understanding of Web3's core concepts, technologies, and tools, readers embark on a journey through the driving forces fueling its growth. The book demystifies blockchain technology, elucidating its basics and the practicalities of wallets and transactions. It delves into the world of cryptocurrencies, particularly Ethereum, and explores the disruptive potential of Decentralized Finance (DeFi). This knowledge empowers a diverse audience, from students to professionals and researchers across information technology, business, education, media, social sciences, and humanities.

Book Description

A Science “Reading List for Uncertain Times” Selection “A must-read for anyone with even a passing interest in the present and future of higher education.” —Tressie McMillan Cottom, author of Lower Ed “A must-read for the education-invested as well as the education-interested.” —Forbes Proponents of massive online learning have promised that technology will radically accelerate learning and democratize education. Much-publicized experiments, often underwritten by Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, have been launched at elite universities and elementary schools in the poorest neighborhoods. But a decade after the “year of the MOOC,” the promise of disruption seems premature. In Failure to Disrupt, Justin Reich takes us on a tour of MOOCs, autograders, “intelligent tutors,” and other edtech platforms and delivers a sobering report card. Institutions and investors favor programs that scale up quickly at the expense of true innovation. Learning technologies—even those that are free—do little to combat the growing inequality in education. Technology is a phenomenal tool in the right hands, but no killer app will shortcut the hard road of institutional change. “I’m not sure if Reich is as famous outside of learning science and online education circles as he is inside. He should be...Reading and talking about Failure to Disrupt should be a prerequisite for any big institutional learning technology initiatives coming out of COVID-19.” —Inside Higher Ed “The desire to educate students well using online tools and platforms is more pressing than ever. But as Justin Reich illustrates...many recent technologies that were expected to radically change schooling have instead been used in ways that perpetuate existing systems and their attendant inequalities.” —Science
