The interactive learning resource I have chosen to review is Understanding Blockchain. The first thing I would like to say is the format and design of your learning resource is amazing. Having each topic as its own subsection made the flow of the resource feel seamless and easier to digest. I also found that creating the glossary and linking it directly to the topics is great and easy to use. As someone who enjoys diving deeper into topics as I read them having these videos and articles to supplement the information of the learning resource was great. A few things I am wondering about the first written activity about blockchain basics. Is this activity graded? How would the learner receive feedback? I liked how your mind map activity had an example that the learner could compare their map to. Maybe you could consider attaching a rubric of some sort to this activity so the learner can see if their work matches the criteria? I am just thinking that having some direct feedback for this activity can be beneficial to the learner to make sure they have understood the concepts of the basics of blockchains.
Personally, I have always been wary of cryptocurrencies and going through your learning resource has definitely opened me up to it as I found that I was lacking information. I had heard about blockchains but never truly knew what that meant and how it functions. The section on Common Misconceptions of Blockchain and Cryptocurrency definitely cleared a few misconceptions I had such as the security of your cryptocurrency. I know about the practices you mentioned such as not sharing your password and being carefully using public wifi networks but I had no idea about tools such as the cold wallet which is disconnected from the internet. Overall, I found this learning resource very intuitive, easy to follow and well made.
thank you!!
I’m glad you liked it, learned from it, and are now reassured!
