In today’s episode of EDJ Podcast, we interview Kieran Nolan and Matt Riddle about their project, Rocketshoes. RocketShoes creates a dynamic collection of smart systems that allow for an open educational content platform that can support the decentralized web and provide key features like assignment submission, discoverability, and interoperability at an API level.
