Blockchain-Supported Platform for Collaborative Livestreaming of STEM Courses

Abstract

With the rapid development and increasing maturity of emerging technologies such as 5G communication, artificial intelligence, blockchain technology, and computer supported collaborative work, the internet is entering a new era - Web3. This transformation brings both opportunities and challenges to the field of education. Addressing current issues faced by universities, such as security risks in resource storage, lack of platform creation incentives, complexity in copyright confirmation, unsatisfactory user interaction experiences, and insufficient supply of high-quality educational resources, this paper explores and proposes an innovative solution - the “CoTeach” smart education platform. This platform integrates the core concepts of Web3, and data-driven artificial intelligence technology. It aims to reshape the teaching and learning experience, as well as the collaborative development of professional knowledge. Specifically, the “CoTeach” platform ensures secure storage and immutability of educational resources through blockchain technology, reducing risks associated with resource storage. By utilizing collaborative livestreaming mechanisms, it provides economic incentives for creators, contributors, and learners, fostering greater community participation. The transparency and smart contract functionality of blockchain simplify the copyright confirmation process, safeguarding creators' rights. The platform enhances user interaction through gamification design, making the learning process more engaging and enjoyable. Finally, artificial intelligence technology optimizes resource recommendations and personalized learning paths, addressing the shortage of high-quality educational resources.
