The current educational model doesn't respond to the demands of the modern society. Education is a centralized system and any reformation of it requires the government approval. The development of blockchain technology and its implementation in all spheres of human life will necessarily influence the education system as well. New technologies lead to transparency and help remove the third-party commissions, which make the education system transparent and clear. Blockchain allows to regulate participants, share responsibility and connect them within the ecosystem frames.
Open Source University is a global platform, created on the basis of Ethereum blockchain, which promotes the idea of the Distributed University. It gives an opportunity to transfer knowledge and skills beyond national borders what allows thousands of people to minimize educational expenditures and get access to career development opportunities. Every year education providers develop a great number of new courses. But companies still have to spend time and money on employees education, because novices usually don't have any experience and specific skills required for the future occupation. So, Open Source University platform will allow for cooperation between universities and companies.
