Key Features:

1. Community-Driven Ratings:

   • Learners can rate courses and educators based on the quality of content, teaching effectiveness, and overall experience.

   • Educators and institutions can rate learners based on their engagement, effort, and achievements.

2. Transparent Credibility:

   • Reputation tokens are publicly verifiable on the blockchain, ensuring that trust and credibility are earned rather than dictated by centralized authorities.

   • High-rated courses or educators gain increased visibility, fostering a meritocratic ecosystem.

3. Incentivized Quality:

   • Educators are incentivized to create high-quality, engaging content to improve their reputation.

   • Learners are encouraged to actively participate and contribute positively to peer learning to enhance their standing.

4. Interoperable Reputation:

   • Reputation tokens are portable across platforms within the Alme Mater ecosystem, enabling educators and learners to carry their credibility wherever they go.

A course with consistently high ratings and reviews gains additional reputation tokens, making it more prominent in search results. An educator with a strong reputation can attract more learners, charge premium fees, or collaborate with leading institutions.

This decentralized approach to reputation ensures that trust and recognition in education are built fairly and transparently, fostering an ecosystem of accountability and quality.
