The global's first university powered by Blockchain technology could set up shop in Malta, and academics from some of the global's top universities have already signed up, as per reports from Medium on August 24.
The Woolf university’s framework is planned to complement both online and onsite learning/teaching in every corner of the world by offering students with improved personalised tutorials. Running on Blockchain technology will also empower it to guarantee the security of the student’s degrees.
The Blockchain technology will also endow the running of multiple number of smart contracts which validate attendance and assignment completion as soon as students and teachers ‘check-in.’ The university Teachers will be paid in tokens and also offer micro-credits to all students.
With some of the giant cryptocurrency exchanges going to Malta and Maltese government setting ICO-friendly bills, it’s not really why projects like Blockchain university have decided to set up shop in the small island country.
The university considers on having multiple regulatory partner later and its founders have selected Malta as the datum and a beginning point.
The first phase will consist the launch of 5 distinct colleges, and thereafter the founders of university hope to allure academics with a doctorate from one of the global’s top 200 universities.
Today, Woolf university employs a variety of high and well-qualified professors and lecturers, whereby a lot of them come from Oxford University. Nevertheless, the faculty also brags lectures from Cambridge University, Leipzig University, George Mason University, Kyoto University and King’s College London.
While Woolf University had at first considered to fund the university via a public ICO, it has since found adequate private investment to retard the purpose to go public.
