Code of Talent: Igniting Learning Motivation with Micro-Learning

Introduction

Learning is a process that spans from cradle to grave. Through learning, a person becomes a better member of the society and can make informed decisions. The importance of learning can never be overemphasized when it comes to human capital development. And it is very important to note that learning is not a one time event but an event that spans through the entire lifetime. Anytime you stop learning, you start dying, because life revolves around learning.

The Challenge

The reality is that, majority of people don't have access to platforms where they can learn on a continuous base to become a better member of the society and be more informed.
I studied Education in the University, invariably I am a teacher by profession. So, I love things concerning teaching and learning so much. There Is a platform that will make learning available to everyone on the planet in a unique and socializing way. The name of the platform is Code of Talent.

What is Code of Talent?

Code of Talent is a platform whose purpose is to create equal opportunities for everyone on the planet, by igniting their motivation to learn and develop their skills and talents, otherwise, they don’t stand a chance in the world of tomorrow. We empower educators to use micro-learning in the classrooms or as follow-up sessions, while allowing people from all over the world to join, contribute and learn from others. We uncover the “wisdom of many” to foster bright ideas and purposeful knowledge.

Benefits of Code of Talent

The Code of Talent platform gives the right tool back into the hands of teachers in order to help them ignite the motivation to learn and bring out the true value in the students through an attractive platform. As a trained teacher, I am aware that the best way to ensure that students learn whatever they are being taught is to make it funky. This is the method that Code of Talent has adopted in order to ensure easy assimilation. There is scoreboard through which a student can monitor his/her progress. There are badges that a progressive student receive from time to time, there are points that increase as student answer questions correctly. All these are in place to ensure that lessons are not boring but helps to empower teachers to motivate their students and allow anyone on the planet to join in to learn or contribute.

Merit Based incentives for learners and Educator
On Code of Talent platform, not only will Educators impart knowledge and learners learn but also students will be able to earn as they learn and Educators will also earn as they impart knowledge. What a wonderful platform! This is simply amazing. The best way to capture learner's attention is to incentivize learning. By the time a learner knows that there is a reward waiting for him or her at the end of the exercise, he/she will work harder. This is the principle that Code of Talent has put in place to ensure teaching and learning takes place on the platform.

Direct teacher interaction
On the Code of Talent platform, a teacher is attached to the maximum of forty students to increase the level of interaction between students and teachers. This is not a platform that is void and empty but highly interactive platform where students can ask questions and receive answer from their teacher and many more interaction can take place.

Proof of records for employers
There is a proof of work on the platform of Code of Talent in case a learner has to show his/her employer the kind of learning that has taken place for betterment and improvement of skills and talents. Code of Talent makes the proof of work available and tenable.

3rd Party integration: premium content, employers, advertisers, sponsors.
The Code of Talent has integration of third party for maximum input and effectiveness. The premium content is made available on Code of Talent for the benefit of everyone on the planet and the employers are also integrated for proof of work. Advertisers are welcomed on Code of Talent as it is a great avenue to let the world know about their products and sponsors are also fully integrated.

Principles of Code of Talent

The Code of Talent is built on five very important principles:

Education is the key to solving the world's problems.
Code of Talent believes that Education is the key to solving the world's problem and I fully agree with it as it has been proven over and again that education has a transforming tool to make anyone who is subject to it better.

Education should be exciting.
There is no iota of falsehood in this principle. As it has been researched by many scholars in education that learning takes place better in an atmosphere where learners are excited and motivated.

The blockchain technology is a great innovation that should be applied to make educational system better.
Blockchain technology is a great blessing to the world and should serve a great purpose. Education which is the bedrock of development should not be left out in the benefits provided by the blockchain technology.

The quality of Education should be measured and the best should be delivered.
The quality of Education should be measured and the best should be delivered is a great principle that Code of Talent operate by. The platform ensures that the best form of education is given to the learner with activities measure the level of growth of learners.

There should be a direct correlation between what is learned and real-life skills.
There should be a direct correlation between what is learned and real-life skills is another principle Code if Talent work with as it ensures that what learners are learning on the platform has direct correlation with real life skills and are applicable to day to day living.
