We are working on a new system for self-learning and teaching. Think of it as Wikipedia but arranged pedagogically. This is a curation and free learning of all kinds of knowledge.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.zip/post/63831008

This is the new progress tracking ability added for users to check their progress of a skill graph. The backend handles this via Assessments and Capabilities - 2 general objects in the Brotherhood that will, in the future, serve as the blueprint for more exotic assessment systems like work-based, peer-verified assessments and capability certificates that will serve as the de-facto portable proof-of-skills.

This is currently in beta-stage and behind an invite-only access. However, very soon, signups will be open-for-all and you can test it for yourself. If you wish to try it out before that, please reach out through to us.

For more information, please visit the official website

Yes, we do value ideas immensely. Even greater, we value our goals, which will not sway much, the practical implementations may vary as our experience increases. And we do not overwhelm the audience with minute details. However if you're interested, some of it can be found in the official documents

We do NOT value linguistic constructivism. Words mean what we want them to mean. While I understand where you're coming from, we can always retort that the best way to "reclaim" a name is to use it in a radically different scenario - a sort of deconstruction, if you will.

We have a very small team and the website is not polished as much as we want it to be. This the need to keep it invite-only for now. However, we are working hard to make it open-access ASAP.

We are NOT at all opposed to AI usage. And we solemnly believe (not all of us, however), that the fact that an automation tool (which is all it really is) hurts the labour force is a shameful showcase of our underwhelming social contract. I will make a post dedicated to this issue soon.
