Abstract:
Learning needs to transcend traditional school education to cover the whole array of learning available, such as
advanced technology, arts, or sports so that people can keep learning, training, and practicing at their own pace
throughout their life. To fulfill these needs for learning, we have constructed CHiLO, a decentralized learning
system, which utilizes e-books. We are now developing an entirely new learning system using blockchain to
solve the issue regarding the copyright of CHiLO and to build a new learning model utilizing virtual currency.
This paper reports the first phase of the implementation details of the new system, which allowed the ownership
rights of the blockchain assets to be managed to create e-books by combining the posts on the SNS and paying
in virtual currency.
