A Blockchain-based decentralised university | John Domingue | TEDxOpenUniversity

I believe that with blockchain technology we can create a radically new type of university: a DAO University. A DAO is a Decentralised Autonomous Organisation which operates with no central control and no humans in the loop and are based on Smart Contracts: pieces of computer code on a blockchain which can represent and enact financial and legal contracts.
In a DAO University value and reputation associated with teaching and learning would be accounted for through a blockchain with no central control. Instead the whole learning community would agree how the educational elements, for example, learning materials, teaching resources and teaching delivery are shared and recompensed.
A DAO University is a next step evolution in higher education. A born digital community owned educational institution for the 21st Century. Open University Professor. Director of the Knowledge Media Institute and President of STI International. Published over 270 articles in the areas of semantics, the Web, distributed ledgers and eLearning. Instrumental role in the EU-funded project, QualiChain, which aims to revolutionise public education and its relationship to policy making and the labour market. Fellow of the British Blockchain Association. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Pop-up unversities using smart contracts and a global online pool of educators for high-quality education. And as a disruptive force to the hegemony of incumbents.

Interesting, not so sure how to avoid having a technological bias and allow the first users (rich tech-savvy) set the trends that would shape the rest of the algorithms (specially when coming to jobs) and let them enhance their own bias.
