EXCLUSIVE: Immersive learning and blockchain collide in dropGroup’s new learning management platform
dropGroup is once again pushing the boundaries in the world of educational technology, introducing its groundbreaking Learning experience software, LMeX-3. Developed by the company’s subsidiary, dropLabs, LMeX-3 offers an innovative approach to creating and delivering course content that captivates students while prioritizing their privacy and security through blockchain technology.
“Disrupting the World of Education”
Gurps Rai, CEO of dropGroup told Benzinga, “Today we are disrupting the world of education with the release of LMeX-3 – it is a revolutionary software that combines Web3 and XR technologies to create an immersive and secure learning experience. With LMeX- 3 , students are no longer passive learners, but active participants in their own academic journeys.”
“By prioritizing privacy, security and gamified learning techniques, we have transformed traditional learning management into an engaging and transparent process we call The Learning Management Experience. As we continue to push the boundaries of EdTech, I am confident that LMeX-3 will inspire the next generation of learners to achieve their goals and shape the future,” he added.
How LMeX-3 works
Traditional learning management system functions are integrated into LMeX-3, but the platform also leverages the power of XR-powered contextual learning and blockchain technology. Administrators and teachers can create and upload a variety of course content, such as XR, interactive videos and quizzes.
In addition, the platform uses dropLabs’ proprietary XR technology, which incorporates game development concepts, techniques and nomenclature to engage students like never before.
Blockchain integration
LMeX-3 is fully interoperable with multiple blockchains and smart contract types. Although most customers have chosen the ERC-1155 compliant contract on Polygon MATIC, administrators are free to choose their preferred chain.
The platform’s proprietary Proof-of-Achievement (PoA) technology allows student progress and achievements to be permanently recorded on the blockchain.
Personal student data is cryptographically protected for optimal security. Unique digital artwork representing each student’s academic progress forms a dNFT (Dynamic NFT), which serves as an unchanging record of learning and skill development. These NFTs also act as gamified rewards, motivating students to complete courses and achieve their learning goals.
Onboarding
LMeX-3 provides an organic onboarding experience into the Web3 world, helping students develop a working knowledge of this future Internet technology.
Upon course enrollment, an interoperable Web3 wallet is automatically generated for each student, along with a personalized tokenized CV showing completed courses and achievements. With lifetime access to the wallet and tokenized CV, students can share this digital CV with potential employers, highlighting their academic and job training record.
