HAHA Academy Project Timeline
Let's change the way we learn, assess and accredit knowledge.
Phase One
Beta Early 2018
Knowledge Taxonomy
Creating a course of study for every branch of human knowledge and combining all hierarchical categorizations of knowledge to date.
Phase Two
Mid 2018
Educational Content Aggregation
Indexing all free educational content and online courses and linking them to the knowledge taxonomy, in three components: HAHA Kids, HAHA Teens, and HAHA Lifelong.
Phase Three
Late 2018
Assessments
Quizzes and other tools to ascertain users’ knowledge: their familiarity with each topic (unknown, known, learned) and to what degree (slightly, partially, completely)...
Phase Four
Early 2019
Open Badge Certification
Linking assessment results to Mozilla Open Badges: digital certificates of accomplishments that include verifiable data and evidence of assessment results that can be shared online as proof of knowledge.
Phase Five
Mid 2019
Online Mentorship & Skill Sharing
Educators and subject-matter experts will be issued a mutual credit currency, the ora, for mentoring fellow learners through HAHA Academy. This currency can be swapped with others on HAHA, and also within the Ora Network, a digital skill swapping platform. Ora will also be issued to educators that can fill gaps in educational material in the knowledge taxonomy (as highlighted by Phase Two), or improve existing educational content.
Phase Six
Late 2019
Ikigai (生き甲斐): Personalised Learning
Empowering each individual to analyse their learning characteristics and interests, adapting the instructional process, guidance and material accordingly, and recommending possible occupations, activities, or projects that may be a good fit.
Phase Two
Can you help with the next phase of HAHA Academy?
We are currently looking for volunteers for the development of Phase Two:
aggregating all educational content online and linking it to the knowledge taxonomy.
HAHA Kids
Adapting the taxonomy into a kid-friendly version and organising online educational materials therein. ELI5 (explain like I'm five) - because I am!
HAHA Teens
Helping young people, parents, tutors, and secondary school teachers find the best available material to support their studies.
HAHA Lifelong
Empowering adults to freely learn, assess and accredit their knowledge, whether they need certain skills for a project, want to switch careers, or simply become more enlightened individuals.
Development
Improve the technological foundations of HAHA Academy, while contributing to FLOSS (open source software).
Design / UX
Improve usability and accessiblity, while helping HAHA look its best.
Consultants
Academics, techies, education professionals, give us your two cents (or two oras)!
