examples of web 3.0 tools in education

Post by Tom Daccord

“Web 3.0” has been the center of much discussion this year. Advocates believe that Web 3.0 will unleash a radical and beneficial transformation of the Internet. Detractors claim that Web 3.0 is little more than a buzzword for marketing purposes. The following Q&A aims to introduce EdTechTeacher readers to Web 3.0 and outline how it may affect education.

What is Web 3.0?

Web 3.0 (or “Web3”) is an all-encompassing term for a decentralized internet. Difficult to define, Web 3.0 is essentially about eliminating the power of centralized “Big Tech” companies like Google and Facebook to manage how Internet users interact with online content. In theory, Web 3.0 users would be able to communicate and exchange information free of company or government control. If so, Web 3.0 would significantly change how we interact with each other online. Web 3.0 may not ultimately result in a radical reformulation of the Internet, but it has already generated billions in investment dollars (especially in the cryptocurrency market) and underlying technologies such as blockchain and NFTs (non-fungible tokens) are already starting to reshape the commercial landscape.

How is Web 3.0 different from Web 1.0 and Web 2.0?

Web 1.0 harks back to the early days of the Internet in the 1990s. At that time, most web pages consisted of static text and basic information, and connecting to the Internet required dialing up through a modem. Connection speeds were slow and Internet access was not ubiquitous. The ‘World Wide Web’ was little more than a collection of unorganized content on individual webpages which contained little or no interactive features. 

Web 2.0 emerged in the 2000s and, unlike Web 1.0, it features user-participation and social networking. Blogs emerged as popular individual publishing spaces and wikis encouraged collaborative writing and editing. Fast internet speeds opened the door for interactive content and platforms like YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook that give users a chance to communicate and share information and content. The participatory nature of “read/write” Web 2.0 has given voice to the masses, but at the same time it has largely been driven by a handful of large corporations, such as Google and Facebook, leading to a centralization of user data and content.

Web 3.0 is largely an attempt to counter the centralization of user data and content in the hands of a relatively small number of organizations. Visions of Web 3.0 are driven by the idea of Web decentralization and incorporate new technical infrastructure that facilitates communication and information exchanges in which no company or government can control the data. In Web 3.0, Internet users would control their own data, and it would follow them to various platforms and applications. 

How does Web 3.0 work? 

In its early stages, Web 3.0 is being driven by new technical infrastructure that facilitates user-to-user exchanges, many of them financial. For instance, blockchain technologies allow digital information to be recorded and distributed, but not edited, so that records of commercial  transactions could not be altered, deleted, or destroyed. Blockchain is attractive to buyers and sellers because digital financial transactions are secure and the possibility of fraud remote. 

Furthermore, no longer will Internet users need to log into giant tech companies. Instead, Web 3.0 users retain ownership of their online activities and can track all the information they share online through a unified profile that’s stored on a blockchain. Finally, users can conduct Web 3.0 transactions without having to rely on governments, institutions, or corporations (at least in theory). Blockchains are the underlying technology for cryptocurrency systems like Bitcoin, because they provide both a secure and a decentralized record of transactions. 

Web 3.0 is also characterized by the rise of non-fungible tokens (NFTs), which allow for one-of-a-kind digital collectibles (and other digital artifacts) to be bought and sold with cryptocurrencies. Non-fungible tokens are not identical to each other, therefore they represent unique “tokens” that exist on a blockchain and they cannot be replicated. They are essentially unique assets that represent real-world tangible items like artwork and real estate. (The first NFT artwork sold at an auction, “Everdays: The First 5000 Days”, went for $69 million.)

Despite these technological advancements, it is likely that Web 3.0  will exist alongside Web 2.0 for quite some time and not fully replace it. For one, it seems unlikely that Facebook, Google, and Twitter will easily relinquish their considerable stake in controlling the Internet. (Indeed, Facebook has invested billions of dollars in creating an interactive “metaverse” digital environment for Internet users.) Also, there is concern that a decentralized Internet would lead to an increase in cybercrime and false information. It is also possible that Web 3.0 technologies will not provide fully decentralized interactions that are independent of company or government government. In other words, much remains to be seen.

How will Web 3.0 impact education?

examples of web 3.0 tools in education

Web 3.0 is about decentralization, stripping institutions of their consolidated power and transferring that power to individuals. A decentralized Internet could weaken the power of educational institutions but provide more opportunities for students to learn. 

The power to learn and impart knowledge does not belong to a single institution, but the current educational system puts the institution — school, university, etc — at the forefront of the student learning experience. The institution decides what content students should learn, how they learn it, and for how long.  

Students who study in a traditional brick-and-mortar school limit their opportunities to learn in other environments and from other experts. In a decentralized learning environment, students are no longer bound by the formal constraints imposed by school or university administrators. As Web 3.0 and the metaverse develop , the Internet will increasingly enable students to access valuable resources and instructional experts and learn in fully immersive and multimedia environments that leverage both the physical and digital worlds. As such, more immersive speciality programs or “micro schools” (small learning communities) will emerge. One example is the STEM metaverse for children aged 6-14 that leverages live virtual multiplayer gaming to learn science topics. Homeschooling will also be more common as parents have an increasingly robust series of learning resources and experts from which to draw on.  

Educational institutions, and universities in particular, have retained much power for their ability to offer credentials that help ensure professional and socio-economic advancement. Traditionally, a high school and university degree has been a requirement for students wishing to gain employment in many desirable occupations. However, Web 3.0 could make it easier for individuals to sign up for classes without having to rely on traditional degree programs. Students could buy access to courses without actually enrolling in an educational institution. With blockchain, students could also record their own learning accomplishments without having to rely on university-controlled transcripts. 

As such, an institution would not be the sole keeper of credentials. A student would be able to create a learning portfolio on a blockchain, which could contain completed courses, educational NFTs, awards, projects, recommendations, and more. In other words, the student could display relevant learning experiences in a publicly viewable and unalterable display. Since the information could not be tampered with, it is an excellent vehicle to display completed courses and programs backed by institutional signatures. 

Web 3.0 will also see the rise of educational DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations). DAOs are groups of people drawn together by a common desire to remove hierarchy from an online structure. Currently, many DAOs are business-oriented and seek ways to increase access to information, eliminate ​bureaucracy, and reduce the costs of existing institutions. That said, “learning DAOs” are starting to emerge, dedicated to educating members of a group on a particular topic. 

It’s likely that there will be specific learning DAOs focused on improving online educational systems. It’s not a stretch to envision “EdDAOs” that offer online classes and courses, if not outright specialty programs. During the height of COVID-19, “learning pods” became an alternative method of educating students because clusters of parents came together to address shortcomings in the educational system. It’s too early to tell whether dissatisfaction with schools might lead certain EdDOAs to create alternative learning environments for students, but it is a distinct possibility. 

More radical visions of Web 3.0 include schools acting like businesses, selling cryptocurrency and NFTs to raise money. But schools are entrenched, conservative institutions and any changes will be slow and wrought with difficulty. To date, school administrators and teachers have been wary of decentralized online learning environments where they might not be able to supervise student activity. They have been much inclined to opt for online “walled gardens” — such as Google for Education — that provide a suite of online tools accessed through easily-monitored school accounts. 

Web 3.0 will bring changes to education over time, but schools and universities will resist them — especially student independence in blockchains.  So, it will be interesting to see how educational institutions react to powerful forces changing how we interact online.

What does Web3 in Education mean for the future of teaching and learning?

By Rachelle Dené Poth

What does Web3 in Education mean for the future of teaching and learning?

Over the past year, we have been learning a lot of new terms when it comes to technology. Some examples are blockchain, cryptocurrency, the metaverse, and NFTs to name a few. These come in addition to other emerging technologies that we are already familiar with and even using in our classrooms and everyday life like augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI). Therefore, we need to continue to explore the changes that are happening in the world of work so that we can best prepare our students. Even if we don’t teach a content area or a grade level where we think we can bring in these concepts, we can and need to. According to a Jobs of Tomorrow report , in the next couple of years, we will see a tremendous increase in jobs that require skills in many of these areas. Students will need to understand so many new technologies because the world of work and learning is changing. When it comes to interacting online, we have relied on the internet in its current version. However, we are now starting to hear about ​W​eb 3​.0 or Web3 in education.

What exactly is Web3?

As a basic meaning, Web3 is the next phase of the internet. It amplifies everything we can now do online by bringing in new technologies and functionalities. To get a basic understanding of what Web3 is, I recommend checking out this video which gives an overview of what it is. It helps to drive a conversation with students to see what they think about it and what predictions they have about the future capabilities of Web3. For a more detailed explanation that shows the differences between the web versions, I shared this video with my students

For anyone who remembers when the internet first started or the first time going “online” there was not much that could be done. The first version of the Web was limited to having a static page where you could review content, download and print information, and did not have any possibilities to interact with others. It was an improvement over the earlier computers and programs available but was still limited in scope. Like many technologies, new features are introduced, the programming improves, and the options available continue to grow. When this happens, a new version is released. We see this often with phones, Windows updates, apps, and more.

Building on the capabilities of the first version of the web, the second version, Web 2.0, added the ability to interact with others. Rather than just being a “read” only experience, it was more of a “read and write” experience. Through Web 2.0, we started to see the creation of social media networks, communication channels and chat platforms, banking and shopping online and opportunities to get an education through various schools and educational providers. The newer version also came to be because of some of the large corporations involved such as Amazon, Apple, Google and even Facebook. In this version, we could have virtual meetings and connect globally in a matter of minutes.

Now with the start of a newer version of the web, we have all of the components of the prior version but with the emerging technologies added in. Whereas Web 2.0 is monitored by the government, the new version is set to become a decentralized space that is available on the blockchain. For instance, in 2.0, people are monitored depending on what is being used, whether a social network or an online shopping site. However, in Web3, it will be “decentralized” which means that it is not monitored and facilitates a greater level of interactivity and also brings with it the metaverse. Now Web3 is being referred to as a “read, write, own” version rather than simply the “read” and “read and write” of the prior version.

How is Web3 different from previous versions?

Web3 is different because there will not be companies that are monitoring everything like there are now, such as Amazon or Microsoft. In Web3, the focus is on having more freedom to create and interact without the centralized control of a single service provider. It relies on many users rather than the power over the internet being limited to only a few. People may wonder about privacy when using and interacting in Web3 if it is decentralized. Some platforms like WhatsApp, for example, use encrypted communication which enables users to maintain their privacy. Another example is Twitter, where posts cannot be edited, and they can be taken down or flagged due to content posted. However, with Web3, Twitter users would have more control over their posts, and hacking into accounts or creating a duplicate Twitter would not be possible because of the verification process involved.

Impact of Web3 on education

When it comes to the web, educators rely on many different technologies and digital tools. Right now, these providers are making their content available in the centralized space of the current version of the web. With Web3, companies could start to provide more and different types of content.

Attending classes in the metaverse

For instance, schools could also have classes held in the metaverse, and in addition to having a physical classroom space, teachers could have a digital twin, an avatar that can go into digital spaces. A digital twin would enable students to feel more connected to the teacher while learning outside the classroom. Students would also have a digital wallet stored on the blockchain where academic information is stored throughout their K-12 experience .

Making education more accessible for students

Also, depending on the location of schools, course availability, or students’ financial needs, there are a lot of potential benefits of the metaverse and increased opportunities through web3.

Being able to have access to learning from a school that is geographically distant or that could be cost-prohibitive would be just two of the benefits. When discussing Web3 and the metaverse with my students, most say they would prefer to be in the school classroom but highlighted the benefits of being able to learn from anywhere and feel more connected than when using other web conferencing platforms.

Increasing access to higher education opportunities

Also, the rising costs of higher education can be prohibitive and, therefore, a metaverse experience would facilitate more opportunities for students. Several higher education institutions had announced the plan to open ten metaversities . Also, Proof of Learn is a new Web3 platform focused on making high-tech quality education accessible to students through blockchain. Their vision is to ensure that everyone who can connect to the internet can access online education. Learning via the metaverse, students will also have NFT credentials and potentially receive rewards through cryptocurrency.

What can educators do to prepare for Web3 in education?

As educators, we must continue seeking new information, especially regarding technology, and keeping up with the predictions for the future of work and skills our students need. We need to explore the resources to better understand these emerging technologies and their potential impact on our personal and professional lives.

For example, I’ve recently joined Ed3 DAO, which is the first DAO for educators, with the goal of bringing educators into the world of Web3. To learn more, educators can also participate in an Ed3 conference coming up in November. As educators, we just need to start the conversation and engage students in learning together with us.

Profile image of Thiyagu K.

2015, New Frontiers in Education

Web 3.0 is said to be a technologically advanced medium that allows the users to read/write/ execute and also allows the machines to carry out some of the thinking so far expected only from human beings. In a short time, web 2.0 and now web 3.0 have created new tools and technologies for facilitating web-based education & learning. This article describes the possible future web 3.0 technologies, trends, tools, and services that will assist in the areas of online learning, personalization, and knowledge construction powered by the semantic web.

The emergence of Web 2.0 has marked a change in how the Internet users benefit from a number of tools that allow them to browse for information, exchange data, collaborate and interact with others. Web 2.0 has been a turning point in human interaction via computers, fostering social networks and even more personal environments for educational purposes such as PLEs or VLEs. Now, a leap forward is represented by Web 3.0, which should provide computers with the possibility to extract meaningful information from the Internet so that the inordinate number of data obtained after one search will be filtered, contrasted, and collated to better suit users’ needs. The advancement will consist in the fact that the search for information will not be just a sheer display of websites, chosen based on the key words entered, but meaningful information tagged with descriptors like mailing addresses. The implication for users are numerous as the new web search could function as a personal learning assistant and may help one reduce the amount of time spent looking for relevant data, be it educational or otherwise. Thus, the users interested in learning will be assisted by an agent, which will select the required information, and tailor it according to the individual learning needs. In this paper, the concept of Web 3.0 will be examined to find its possible educational uses and benefits. Moreover, the author will look into the impact of Web 3.0 on course design, on the one hand, and on the learners’ ability to identify and attend several courses provided by institutions, on the other hand.

The Internet has revolutionized education and learning, presenting both opportunities and challenges with the continuous evolution of web-based technologies. The earlier version of the web, known as Web 1.0, was primarily a readonly medium, while Web 2.0 allowed for greater interactivity with read/write capabilities. Now, the emerging version of the web, Web 3.0, is considered to be a technologically advanced medium that not only facilitates read/write capabilities but also enables a machines to carry out some of the thinking that was previously expected only of humans. In a relatively short period of time, Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 have introduced new tools and technologies that have greatly facilitated web-based education and learning. This paper will explore the definition, evolution, and characteristics of Web 3.0, as well as discuss potential future technologies, trends, tools, and services that can support online learning, personalization, and knowledge construction powered by the Semantic Web.

It is widely accepted that the WWW has evolved consistently over the years. Early Web tools were simple, but as information technology and internet speeds evolved, new tools would emerge, creating an interactive, user-centered space where information is shared among all. The next generation of the Web, the Web 3.0, will aim primarily at organizing it through intelligent agents and semantic standards. At the same time, one of the earliest and most popular uses of the Web, e-Learning, is also changing. Thus, much as the Web changed from a “read-only” medium, to “read write” and to “read-write-collaborate”, so have the concept and methods of e Learning changed from a simple transposition of educational material to online support, to entirely new approaches to education, centered on student’s active participation, interaction and collaboration. Web 3.0 will further emphasize this revolutionary approach, potentially leading to virtual spaces of collaborative knowledge centered on active ...

The goal of this paper is to define a concept based on Web 3.0 technologies to improve the learning experience and attempt to create a lifelong learning environment in people’s daily routine. To achieve that, there was a need to analyze the current curves of the World Wide Web (WWW) in this field. The last few years a lot of interesting on-line services have been introduced to the public. On-line video conferencing, synchronous/asynchronous conversations, wikis and social networking are just a few of those technologies which changed the way people see and use the Internet. By using some of these services and combining them with most resent (and interesting) techniques like background customized search and live manipulation of content, it is possible to create a Web 3.0 application with smart, content aware interface for educational purposes. An application like that will be able to be used both in the corporate and education sector.

There is a large number of diversity in Web 3.0 technologies accessible for incorporation in the educational environment, but recognize how to use these and can be fascinating to the instructor. Web 3.0 is also known as technologically advanced medium which enables the user to Read/Write/Execute and also enables the machines to carry out some of the thinking so that it can be accessible for the human beings. The acceptance of Web 3.0 technologies is quite easy and it contains more than the Internet and basic word processing techniques. An analysis on Web 3.0 applications, which are easy to use, reasonable, and require minimum technology skills. Web 3.0 items that can be easily executed by learners or by the instructors include podcasting, weblogs, etc. Web 3.0, always uses the Internet as its transfer technique which can be an effective method of making a dynamic learning and teaching experience.

David Millard

The strengths of semantic technologies for learning and teaching and their benefits in the areas of digital libraries, virtual communities and e-learning have been identified and well established. The case for semantic technologies in education has been on the expressive power of metadata to describe learning content, people, and services, and on how these could be intelligently matched for added value services and an advanced learning experience.

How Web 3.0 will impact higher education

The birth of the internet is considered to be 1 January 1983   – since its inception, the internet has rapidly evolved and spread across the world to impact all aspects of our lives. How will its current development phase, labelled as Web 3.0, have an impact on higher education in particular?

Web 3.0 overview

Web 3.0 is sometimes referred to as the ‘semantic web’, ‘3D web’ or ‘spatial web’. It is about using new technology to add meaning to content and developing methods to interact with our environment. In the semantic web, content will find you. Rather than you seeking information based on, say, keywords, your activities and interests will determine how information finds you and the format you need, and display it within your preferred channel.

examples of web 3.0 tools in education

Web 3.0 builds on earlier phases:

  • Web 1.0 can be considered as ‘read only’ – information is published to a website where users can read and search for information, but there is no opportunity to easily share or interact with it.
  • Web 2.0 can be thought of as ‘read and write’ – it provides social networking tools such as blogs and wikis. It focuses on its ability to bring people together, share knowledge and facilitate communication. It also facilitates collaborative learning and teamwork.

The problem with Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 is that information is chaotic and unstructured, limiting the ability to retrieve relevant and accurate information. Web 3.0 promises to solve these problems.

Web 3.0 technologies

The following is a brief summary of some of the key developments that will change the way users find information.

Artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence is self-learning programmes that can learn and evolve on their own, for example, track the habits of users and provide search results that suit their preferences.

Personalisation

Users will be able to enter their preferences and interests, and the computer will customise and provide information that fit these criteria – user profiles will function like a virtual avatar that represents them and their interests online.

Internet of things

The internet of things is the connection of everyday devices to the internet. For example, sensor-equipped and networked devices such as office equipment, printers and vehicles. It means that users will be able to connect to the internet and manage information from anywhere.

Virtualisation

Users can interact with their environment using virtual environments and augmented reality – search results are not restricted to text-only inputs – you can search by inputs via 3D objects or images. The physical world can be interacted with interfaces such as smart glasses and voice where the digital and physical layers are merged.

Decentralised computing

With Web 3.0, computing power is not confined to a few central servers that provide content. Instead, computing power is shared across multiple servers. An example of this is blockchain technologies where information is distributed across many devices. This means that information can be held very securely and is not dependent on a single provider.

Graph showing evolution of the web

The future of Web 3.0

Today’s web browsers have limited capacity for discovering connections among pieces of information that might be useful or valuable. A standard Google search yields hundreds of results, many of which are irrelevant or marginally relevant.

With Web 3.0, standards will create structured online content using tags or fields that enable a browser to identify and understand the meaning of information more readily. This requires the translation of online information into ‘micro content’.

For this to work, content managers will need to add metadata descriptions that give meaning to website content and describe the structure of existing knowledge about it. As a result, content will be more efficiently searchable and interconnected. There are various standards that can be used to tag data such as RDFa and JSON-LD.

As well as tagging content there are various approaches to creating relationships between content – known as ontologies. Protégé , developed by Stanford University, is a free ontology editor that can create these connections use the OWL 2 Web Ontology Language .

A simple example of an ontology is shown in the figure below – in this case it shows how meaning can be given to content related to different types of drink.

Example ontology diagram

Web 3.0 will have natural language search capabilities that will enable users to ask a complete question rather than phrases in isolation. At the moment, search engines train us to become good keyword searchers – we dumb down our intelligence so that it will be natural for a computer. The big shift will be to have a computer handle expressions that are natural for the human.

Web 3.0 and education – benefits

With Web 3.0, the ability to find information more easily and quickly has a number of benefits, but also disadvantages. First, the benefits:

  • Reduced expense as machines will be internet-connected and provide access to knowledge.
  • Changes in teaching  – teachers will be able to develop engaging and more complex assignments that are supported by a variety of resources. Students will develop more independence that will free teachers to tutor individuals or small groups. There will be a shift from students consuming teacher-provided content to student creation of content.
  • Learning – students will spend less time gathering and integrating knowledge. They will be able to learn anywhere and anytime if they have access to the internet.
  • Knowledge construction – search engines will produce a report that draws from many sources. The report will also compare and contrast the information presented and allude to different arguments as well as alert users to related topics and resources.
  • Smart searches – customised search capabilities will yield only information tailored to the user, preventing frustration and saving time. Search engines will include lecture notes, resources, videos, blog articles etc.
  • Personal learning network maintenance – personal learning agents will search for information related to a learning goal and only report relevant information. Location-based services will send appropriate information.
  • Personal educational administration – use semantic web to describe courses and degrees so that it will be easy to transfer credits, and students can easily determine universities that will give them the knowledge they seek. E-learning and just-in-time learning become commonplace. People can collaborate and interact with dispersed individuals. Educational content can be used and reused with requiring permission.

Web 3.0 and education – issues

  • Impact on student learning – students spend less time gathering information, but these are important skills. Presenting students with information that has already been synthesised eliminates the need for critical thinking, evaluation and argument. For example, when calculators were introduced it was expected to free students from manual calculations so they could concentrate on the solution. This is true for students working on advanced levels of subject knowledge, but if introduced too soon, they impede the development of basic mathematical skills.
  • Tagging information – who is going to tag content and add additional coding to web pages? This takes significant time and resource.
  • Developer bias – it is likely that developer bias and perspective will go into tagging information. Even subtle tweaks could eliminate some relevant information or include information that is important only to the developer.
  • Information security and privacy – user preferences and online behaviour can be inaccurately interpreted and used to filter their information in ways the users did not intend.
  • Censorship and privacy issues – a large amount of personal data will be on the internet. Data scraping means data from web pages can be extracted and used for articles that reach completely different conclusions than intended by the author and without giving credit to the author. If content is not coded, it may be ignored by Web 3.0 browsers and not become part of the content knowledge of a particular subject area.

Web 3.0 promises to allow users to find information and connect with it in more meaningful and efficient ways, but at what cost to the way students develop skills in researching and understanding information for themselves? Being aware of the pros and cons of Web 3.0 is the starting point to understand how we can take advantage of the benefits while guarding against the potential disadvantages of deskilling students and reducing their ability to discern the value of information for themselves.

An Introduction to Web3 & Education in Ed3 

The education system is transforming, thanks to web3. Web3 decentralised apps are building learn-to-earn, community learning platforms where users are paid for honing their talents, in contrast to web2, which concentrates on individualised, centralised learning systems. With web3 and education and blockchain-based initiatives in real-time, users can now receive tokens as compensation for their hard work and skill development based on their credentials. Users don't need to search for material because Web 3.0 technology makes it available to them. Without having to do the tiresome task of seeking them on the internet, educators will be able to access a vast array of EdTech resources that will aid them in creating more exciting courses. 

What is Web3?

Web3 is the progression of web2, both philosophically and technologically. A decentralised version of the internet is known as Web3. Web3 refers to the protocol, software, and communities that operate on the blockchain like crypto and NFTs. Individual users are given the freedom to choose their online behaviour thanks to Web3, without having to give up any utility features. Prediction markets, decentralised exchanges, reliable virtual currencies, and gaming platforms are among the first applications to hit the market. There have been a lot of changes brought about by Web 3.0 in education that are currently thought to be necessary.

What Could Web3 Mean for Education?

Digital learning is the primary method for implementing advanced education or innovative education; hence integrating different EdTech tools is essential for success. Most people worldwide are not receiving the best learning opportunities due to present paradigms, even though the education system is vital to human flourishing. Web3 and education are about creating ways to connect with our environment and leveraging new technology to give content significance. It supports verifiable transactions, private ownership of intellectual property, and the empowering of creators through decentralised infrastructure (like blockchain). Your actions and interests will influence how information finds you, the format you require, and how it is shown inside your preferred channel, as opposed to you searching for information based on, for instance, keywords.

Potential Benefits of Adopting Web3 in Education

Web3 and education offer a future in which people can own, control, and monetise their content and data, enabling the creation of new income streams. It is a decentralised and more democratic version of the current internet. With Web 3.0, information can be found more quickly and readily, which has several benefits, including:

1. Enhanced accessibility

DAOs will offer the essential framework for decentralised educational experiences in ed3. They could serve as educational hubs. Learners may sign up for a community and learn about any subject.

DAOs bring individualised learning one step closer. More independence will allow teachers to give one-on-one tutoring. Students will start producing their content. DAOs might represent a change in education driven by the needs of pupils.

2. Improvement of conventional education

The model for ed3 in the web3 world is created by competency-based education. DAOs, web3, education learning platforms, the workplace, and peer learning are just a few venues where students can acquire new skills. 

They will take less time obtaining and putting together information and more time learning. Traditional schooling combined with Web3 can make it simple for learners to relocate and continue their education. If people have access to the internet, they can learn at any time.

Additionally, it would aid in identifying talented individuals even before a test is required. The competency-based approach then enables synthesising these experiences into a conventional degree. Additionally, it will offer cumulative credit for things like jobs, school, business, military service, and more.

3. Personalised Education

Students can choose their professional routes and educational future with the aid of semantics or Web 3.0 in education. Web apps study how we use the internet and our online behaviours to best adapt to our device, location, etc. The required information will be sent via location-based services. Web 3.0 can also suggest pertinent content by determining the student's learning objective and location. Personal learning assistants will look for data about a learning objective and only report relevant data. As expert knowledge is integrated with many aspects to define the student's life, Web 3.0 in education helps students determine their future, which is extremely useful. They make a decision that turns out to be accurate and wise.

4. Transparency

Web3 provides complete openness regarding market pricing and network data, enabling talent to flourish on their network. The blockchain is being used as a building component for Web 3.0, which will usher in a new era of decentralisation and transparency. DAOs can increase governance transparency, giving the most significant contributors a proportional say in decisions regarding topics like curriculum and delivery. The blockchain is a cutting-edge technology that promotes innovation in several different businesses, including those that process payments, handle property and land titles, hold and protect intellectual property, use digital IDs, and deal in cryptocurrencies and NFTs. 

In that case, How About Affordability?

The emergence of ed3 will continue to open up new educational models that increase accessibility, possibly flipping the model so that students make money as they learn. They can exhibit their abilities to potential employers by completing bounties as needed. This moves education beyond a skills-based model and toward the renowned competency-based model. A student in India who has access to the internet can access any international university's free and open curriculum thanks to web3 architecture.

With blockchain, any qualifications obtained might be verified on-chain and made public to potential employers while they study the material at their own pace. Instead of doing what is typically referred to as homework, students can accomplish bounties and showcase their abilities to companies. Numerous web2 platforms have already played a significant role in guaranteeing fair access to learning and education.

Challenges Associated with Integrating Web3 Technologies in Edu System

The idea of Web3 is to create the internet of the future. It is the development of users' abilities to manage and claim ownership of their works, online content, digital assets, and online personas. The integration of Web3 technologies into the educational system might present several difficulties, including the following:

  • To interact in a 3D environment like the metaverse, one must put on heavy virtual reality headsets, which are expensive and uncomfortable.
  • More work needs to be done in terms of security, scalability, and interoperability for software. 
  • Interoperability is crucial since, without it, we won't be able to communicate with or move assets, like our avatar, between other virtual worlds.
  • It is neither realistic nor how we interact in the physical world to create a different avatar for every area.
  • Developer prejudice and viewpoint will probably be essential factors in data tagging. Even little changes could lead to the deletion of crucial details or adding more information that is only pertinent to the developer.
  • Due to the substantial amount of personal information that will be made public online, censorship and privacy issues must be considered.
  • Online habits and user preferences might be misread and exploited to censor information against the users' will.

Conclusion 

Efforts are being made to further the future of web3 and education. The wave of web3 is only getting started. The traditional education sector is being reimagined with an emphasis on ownership and involvement. Kids will receive an education that is just as exciting as the technology itself.

Web 3.0 Tools For Education – Example in Details

Web 3.0 Tools For Education Examples

Web 3.0 has a lot of potential in the field of education. It can make the process of teaching exciting and engaging. Therefore, the following paragraph will offer you a list of web 3.0 tools examples and purposes. This list will help you learn about the functionality of web3 and its components in education. 

Examples of Web 3.0 Tools in Education

  • Intelligent Tutoring System
  • Intelligent Search Engines 
  • Augmented Reality Applications 
  • Semantic Web
  • 3D Wikis And Visualization  

The following is the list of web 3.0 tools that will assist you in the process of education on the web3 platform. 

  • Intelligent Tutoring System 

ITS, or Intelligent Tutoring System, or we can also refer to it as Intelligent Special Education Systems (ITSs), is what provides the intersection of technology, teaching, and learning. It is based on the computer’s working and is an education system that focuses on reproducing a teacher’s behavior. And therefore, the process of shaping teaching catering to the specific needs of the students for learning becomes possible. 

These teaching systems include an expert system that enables the students to solve problems by mimicking instructions between a teacher with expertise in the field and the students who are eager to learn about the same. Thus, it makes it possible to include the flexibility of offering teaching materials and feedback to the students. 

The Internet search engine has become one of the most functional examples of web 3.0 tools in education. You will find numerous features in web3. But one of the most compelling features is the implantation of artificial intelligence or, as we better know it, AI. Because of the implementation of artificial intelligence, it is possible to ensure the utmost efficiency of search engines. In the current web version, the search engines offer results that are by keyword searches. These keyword searches involve information overload that is devoid of personalization. 

But, the web3 platform will revolutionize the utility of the web. And it will do so by enabling the users to emphasize a more significant number of elements while the internet will carry out all the big jobs on their behalf. Accurate searches are possible because of the improvement and enhancement in the utility and functionality of search engines. It has also enabled users to receive relevant information whenever they look up on the internet. 

Therefore, it is a highly usable and effective tool for teachers and students. The users can readily review their search results and reject the sources that they find inconsistent and irrelevant.

Augmented reality applications are one of the best examples of web 3.0 tools in education. We better know it as AR, the technology that integrates virtual objects into reality, enabling the addition of missing information in real life. It includes about 25% digital reality and about 75% existing reality. Augmented reality experience can not replace the original environment completely with the virtual, but it can guarantee to offer the closest experience to reality in a virtual manner. 

And it offers incredible benefits to classroom education by making it unique, extraordinary and engaging. The teachers can utilize AR technology and effectively assist the students in the learning process. They can readily add virtual examples and gaming experiences that are highly interactive and engaging. It helps in making the theoretical concepts enjoyable to understand. 

E-learning is one of the most outstanding examples which has imbibed AR technology and its functionality. It involves the students in a highly enhanced environment and enables them to learn concepts and learn through highly immersive techniques through visuals and animations. The present generation can guess that the use of textbooks will soon find a replacement. And the reserve will be with the negation of AR or augmented reality with education. If it targets the significant information-generating sense in the learners and students, it will successfully and effectively take over the use and popularity of textbooks. 

  • Semantic Web 

In our list of web 3.0 tools, the semantic web plays a huge role. It is one of the crucial tools for the web3 platform. The semantic web has neither the name nor the intelligent web, and it functions to enable machines to read through the information similar to the way we humans do. And therefore, it follows instructions accurately in doing so. As a result, it includes features of a semantic digital library and semantic forums, blogs and community portals. Therefore, it guarantees an immense potential for the aspect of education. 

  • 3D Wikis And Visualization 

3D wikis, or we can also call it the Virtual encyclopedia, forms an essential tool of the web3 platform for the aspect of education. It includes the blend of the functioning of the enhanced and optimally interactive environment, including the different kinds of animations. 3D wikis will indeed offer a commendable impact on how the students learn and imbibe knowledge. Through the three-dimensional visualization, the learners will collaborate more efficiently, exchange information effortlessly and share results. 

The utility of the online 3D virtual labs will enable scenario-based learning that will allow students to visit places that are difficult to access. Therefore, it will readily create realistic simulations, and as a result, it will ensure enhanced collaboration and learning procedures. 

When students search for any information about a particular location, the moving camera around the globe, added with relevant audio and video information, will transmit and offer the students a unique experience of learning about the information they want to know about.

Digital Harbor Foundation’s Shelly Blake-Plock

What Is Web 3.0, Really, and What Does It Mean for Education?

Melissa Delaney is a freelance journalist who specializes in business technology. She is a frequent contributor to the CDW family of technology magazines.

The first rule of Web 3.0 is to stop calling it that . At least, that's Tim O'Reilly's preference.

According to O'Reilly, whose media company is credited with coining the term Web 2.0, "it was never meant as a version number." Rather, the expression "was about the return of the web after the dot-com bust," he explains. "There won't be a Web 3.0 until everybody says, 'OK, the web died again,' and we rediscover it."

Although O'Reilly takes issue with the nomenclature, he does acknowledge — along with others who care deeply about the intersection of technology, teaching and learning — that the web is in the midst of an ­evolutionary cycle that's likely to spark profound changes in ­education .

There are common threads in their ­predictions: widely available videos as educational tools, the blending of the physical and digital worlds, and a web that's capable of applying context to its processes. Many of these advancements aren't new, but they're becoming increasingly ubiquitous and far-reaching, transforming existing processes and offering new insights into everything from health to marketing to learning.

EdTech recently spoke with three visionaries in ­technology and education to find out what's ahead and how it will affect educators. Changes in what's on the web and how it's used are just the beginning.

Shelly Blake-Plock

“I don’t know where exactly Web 3.0 is going to go,” says the Digital Harbor Foundation’s Shelly Blake-Plock. “But I do recognize that we’re going to see smarter computers and the digital and physical worlds merge in very real, practical ways.”

Shelly Blake-Plock

Shelly Blake-Plock is a co-executive director of the Digital Harbor Foundation, which works to spark technology entrepreneurship in Baltimore through education, and a faculty associate at the Johns Hopkins University School of Education. Follow him on Twitter at @BlakePlock .

EdTech : What do you envision for the future of the web?

Blake-Plock: The first is the ­development of a semantic web. Computers are [not good] at ­contextualizing. But there's no ­reason they couldn't be. Going ­forward into the semantic web, rather than searching for a word or category, we could search with a computer in a way that we would have a ­conversation with another human, albeit a human with the ­computational capacity of all of the networked computers in the world.

The second part is where semantic intelligent computing interacts with the physical world. We see that in ­technology today. Google Goggles allows you to scan the physical world and do instant visual analysis against everything on the web. We're talking about the future of everything from eyewear that allows for digital connection to smart clothing that tracks a patient's heart rate or blood pressure.

That leads to the third part, which is the alteration of physical space itself. Anything that has a transistor in it, that plugs in, that uses Wi-Fi all of a sudden becomes a data access point.

EdTech :  How do you see this playing out in education?

Blake-Plock: For a generation, schools spent money on hardware and software, and the results didn't point to the idea that these technologies were demonstrably improving learning outcomes. Now, we have millions of kinds of devices that can access the Internet. So it's not necessarily that you have to buy one type and it equals educational technology. Eventually, all machines will be Internet-connected, and the "educational" piece will be in the way teachers use the digital world to foster learning.

EdTech :  What will that increased access produce?

Blake-Plock: Currently, the big growth industry as it relates to the Internet is data analysis. We've had 15 to 20 years of data about human interaction online. As we become more mobile, and our cars and the buildings around us become smarter and more connected to each other, we're going to have another flourish of data analysis. We'll have massive sample sizes of students learning live in adaptive technology formats that track everything they do and produce a big data analytic back end that can be verified, so we can say either this worked or it didn't.

Technology is going to be much more decentralized. But ironically, that decentralization will produce a massive amount of data that describes humanity in a way that people sitting in front of a computer never could.

Name

"It's kind of a red herring to introduce this idea that it's Web 3.0 or some new version of the web that's driving this innovation," says O'Reilly Media's Tim O'Reilly. "I would say it's more that the web, having disrupted media, is now looking for new targets of disruption and settled on education, which hasn't had a great deal of disruption of innovation in a long time."

Tim O'Reilly

Tim O'Reilly is the founder and CEO of O'Reilly Media , a producer of books, magazines, research and events on technology, including MAKE Magazine , which is largely credited with sparking the do-it-yourself movement. Follow him on Twitter at @timoreilly .

EdTech :  What changes do you see that are most likely to affect education?

O'Reilly: The first is the rise of video as a learning medium — Stanford University's artificial intelligence classes, for example, or Khan Academy. That's a huge part of the revolution. We even had a MAKE Magazine summer camp that we carried out via a Google+ Hangout. The videos are an inversion of the learning paradigm, from one in which the teacher lectures in class and then assigns homework to one where the ­student watches the lecture at home and then does what used to be homework in class, which makes so much more sense. ( For more on the flipped classroom model of instruction, see "Now & Later." )

In the old days, it really mattered what went on your résumé or what degrees you had. But increasingly, people are measured by the footprint they leave on the Internet. That whole notion of portfolio-based credentialing — you're showing your actual work — is a big part of how social media affects education. Schools need to say, "Our output isn't just the transcripts; it's a body of work."

Another great disruption is the fact that there are people who are going to say, "We can do all this for next to nothing." Sebastian Thrun of the Stanford AI class and his team at Udacity realized they can amortize costs across thousands of students and ultimately might be able to offer a computer science degree for as little as $500. Contrast that with the cost of a college education, and you see just how disruptive this could be.

EdTech :  Do you think the job of ­educators will be different?

O'Reilly: Schools are going to have to catch up to what's happening in the real world. I think there's a real need for teachers to become conversant with new media, and IT is going to need to support the teachers who want to do citizen science, be part of an Internet project, make something with a free CAD/CAM program and ship it off to have it built somewhere. For example, we're part of a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency grant to put Makerspaces in schools, which brings hands-on, digital design and fabrication to the classroom.

EdTech : So creating an online body of work is a dominant theme in the future?

O'Reilly: I think so. Another is ­finding more time for interaction. We need to shift education from a focus on consumption of content provided by the teachers to creation by the students.

Given that you have access to information about how to do things, education is much more project-based, much more just-in-time learning. In The Matrix , Trinity said, "I need to know how to fly this helicopter," and she downloaded the knowledge and got in the helicopter. That's obviously far-future science fiction, but it's a metaphor for the shift in learning.

Name

"The future of the web is incredibly participatory," says the U.S. Department of Education's Karen Cator. "As more people are able to tell their stories, publish their ideas and communicate without barriers, we will learn with and from all corners of the globe."

Karen Cator

Karen Cator is the director of the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Educational Technology . Follow her on Twitter at @OfficeofEdTech .

EdTech :  Do you anticipate major shifts in education due to the changing nature of the Internet?

Cator: The incredibly exciting thing that I see coming is a continuously improving opportunity for better and more personalized learning.

EdTech :  What might that look like in the classroom?

Cator: Good teachers have always involved students in complex projects. But in the past, it's been more ­difficult, with just the library down the hall and the teacher's knowledge to guide them. As personal and continuous access to a Web 3.0 environment becomes a reality, teachers will be able to develop engaging, interesting and more complex assignments that are supported by a variety of resources. Students can understand more about, say, backyard bugs by engaging with an entomologist online, or earn a digital badge as they demonstrate advanced search techniques.

EdTech :  So a key shift is that students will be more engaged participants in their learning?

Cator: Yes, engaged and enabled. For example, college hasn't been attainable for people without the economic means or support system to get there. These new massive open online courses are in their infancy, but they ­ultimately could give people the opportunity to learn even if they can't attend college. Online study groups, improving algorithms for feedback on assignments, crowd-sourced explanations and more will continuously improve these free courses.

EdTech :  So more students will have access to personalized learning. What will that mean for educators?

Cator: Teachers want to see students learn and succeed. These emerging tools will augment their ability to ­support their students.

Data from digital environments can give teachers incredibly valuable information about how each ­student is learning and progressing and an array of explanations that their students can use. Teachers also will be able to seek out assistance with problems of practice as they develop their own personal and ­connected professional learning networks.

Students, meanwhile, will develop more independence, freeing the teacher to tutor individuals, work with small groups and design collaborative ­interactions that were previously difficult because of the disconnected nature of the classroom.

The teaching profession, as a whole, will improve as new kinds of data provide new information about how people learn.

Take, for example, the field of mathematics. When you create a textbook, you start with addition, then move through subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, decimals, percentages, and on through early algebra or early geometry. A book is designed to be a linear move through a course, so someone had to make decisions about what that line looks like.

With the Internet, students can begin to create ­personal roadmaps of their learning through ­mathematics, and as they progress and take different ­pathways, we will — looking at aggregate data across many, many learners — begin to understand much more about what kinds of pathways are helpful.

Web 3.0 is expected to be a new paradigm in web interaction. It’s the third generation of internet services for applications and websites focused on utilizing machine-based understanding of data to create a semantic and data driven internet. 

Web 3.0 will change how developers come up with websites and how users interact with websites. With Web 3.0, scientists believe people’s online lives will be smoother, faster and more productive. At New Kind of Network , our disruptive peer-to-peer software network empowers developers with infrastructure, connectivity, and information. Here’s our guide to what you need to know about Web 3.0.

Where did Web 3.0 evolve from?

As a natural progression from Web 2.0, Web 3.0 is a cycle that has taken all the gains made by its predecessor with regard to interacting with the internet and scaled them up resulting in a more connected, intelligent and open web. Web 3.0 is set to bring a transformation where the user moves from the siloed approach to a seamless one. 

Web 3.0 is very different from Web 2.0 which is why many industry pundits feel it deserves its unique name. Web 1.0 is well known as the 1st generation of the web where the primary focus was to build the web processes, infrastructure, and at the same time make it more accessible and commercial. The first generation of the web was used for commercial purposes like advertising brick and mortar businesses. Web 1.0 still exists and is in use mainly in e-commerce websites which are very simple and basic in nature.

Characteristics of Web 1.0

  • Content is derived from the server’s file system
  • Pages were static
  • Tables and frames used to align elements on the page
  • Pages built using Common Gateway Interface or server side includes

The second generation focused on generating internet based services that facilitated online sharing and collaboration. It also made it possible for users to enjoy the internet on their mobile devices. This phase grew the reach of the internet outside the United States making it more accessible globally. Web 2.0 has made the internet more democratic and user accessible. 

Because of this generation, people can make an informed choice following online reviews about a product or service they are looking at. It has allowed people to use tools like podcasting, blogging, web voting, tagging, and social networking which enhance the internet user’s decision making process. 

Characteristics of Web 2.0

  • Permits users to classify and freely sort information
  • The content is dynamic and responsive to users
  • Allows the flow of information between the site owner and the user via comments and other metrics
  • Has incorporated APIs which allow self-usage
  • Allows a variety of user

The third generation allows people to learn even more building upon the second generation. For example, when one buys from Amazon they can see customer reviews but then the website uses an algorithm to suggest similar items that other customers have purchased. This means the website is learning what other customers love and is using it to teach and inform new customers about their options. Web 3.0 makes the website more intelligent which ultimately helps clients to make informed choices.

Main properties of Web 3.0

Semantic web.

It’s believed that Semantic Web could be the route to the golden age of information because it improves web technologies helping to share and connect content. Plus, in the evolution of Semantic Web computers will be able to understand internet data directly. It’ll achieve this by being able to comprehend the meaning behind words and not using numbers or keywords to decode content. As part of Web 3.0, it will make the use of the web more user friendly.

3D Graphics

Web 3.0 relies heavily on three dimensional designs to make websites very interactive. For example, computer games, e-commerce galleries, and museum guides are some examples of 3D graphics on Web 3.0. In fact, Web 3.0 is set to be a three dimensional internet where the use of avatars, virtual reality and augmented reality will be the norm in operations. 

Artificial intelligence

In Web 3.0 computers will have the ability to discern and evaluate information like human beings to provide better, more relevant results. This means the computer has used natural language processing together with artificial intelligence to process information like the user thus meeting the need of the user.

Connectivity

Light show for communication network

Web 3.0 will provide the same content across multiple applications and services will be available on different devices accessible from anywhere. This way all the information needed by an organization during its operations is available and can be leveraged from multiple devices across the globe.

Web 3.0 and Blockchain

Blockchain serves as the foundation for Web 3.0 since it fixes most of the issues that are problematic in Web 2.0. Using blockchain powered Web 3.0 users have absolute control and ownership over their data. Data transferred through the network will be encrypted keeping it secure. Blockchain will make the web user-centric which will make it user friendly.

Best examples of Web 3.0 applications

Apple’s siri.

examples of web 3.0 tools in education

Web 3.0 is moving the internet forward to the place where using the fingers to communicate will become a thing of the past. Instead, applications like Siri that use voice recognition software are becoming the wave of the future. In fact, voice recognition software is becoming the key component of Web 3.0. 

Siri is the perfect example of where Web 3.0 is taking computer users where their machines will be able to communicate to each other and provide users with better search results. For example, more and more Siri and other personal assistants will be able to give conclusive answers to questions asked by owners instead of the annoying “I don’t know.”

For the longest time, Siri has been accepting very few commands that it can act upon. This includes simple tasks like reminders and directions to the local grocery store. These have been accomplished by pre-programmed algorithms in the iPhone that can only do basic searches of the internet to come up with equally basic answers based on store location. And this is if the store has a website that shows directions clearly otherwise the search results can be misleading. 

However, with Web 3.0 asking Siri how to build a woodshed would yield step by step instructions without having to refer to any website.

Even as many are predicted the demise of Facebook because of the transition from Web 2.0 to Web 3.0, this prediction seems to be misleading. After all, the social networking aspect of this social media giant will form the base infrastructure for the way the internet is used. 

The company has been inviting people to create new societies that’ll thrive on Web 3.0. This is their winning strategy as these people who have been invited have ended up creating 300,000 Facebook applications from quizzes and games to digital gifts which have boosted user engagement on the platform.

By providing the Facebook API to developers , the company lets developers stage their quizzes product reviews, and games. As a result, Facebook has guaranteed itself longevity and another reign in Web 3.0. 

Wolfram Alpha

This is a computational intelligence platform where one can compute answers and it is especially used by students and professionals from different fields like mathematics, nutrition and science among others. This platform uses Web 3.0 by gathering information for users from databases on the web and streamlining the information for end users. 

On this platform, one can type in a question and it will interpret the question and yield results relevant to the context of the question. For example, when one types in a generic statement like “two cups of strawberries”, Wolfram Alpha will give you the nutritional value, a number of calories and any other comprehensive information pertaining to two cups of strawberries. In this case, it gives you starting points for further analysis.

For specific questions like “Where is Ecuador?”, it will provide a very specific answer to the question and then go ahead to provide correlated data that can help the user be able intuitively and naturally answer their question in its entirety.

When will it begin?

Web 3.0 has been a long time coming since its prediction back in the 2000s. it can be seen in smart appliances and the Internet of Things but just like Web 2.0 took a while to adapt, Web 3.0 will be gradually adopted into all aspects of the web. 

People will have to see slow changes in the way their computers interact with other machines as Web 3.0 forces users to buy faster machines. It will be a gradual, almost insidious change that many will find themselves having already begun using Web 3.0 without even knowing it.

There is so much speculation around the adoption of Web 3.0 that some have gone so far as to front the idea that the popularity of virtual worlds on Web 3.0 may result in a web based virtual world. But it is important to manage expectations as the evolution of the entire web into a single virtual world with places for people to interact including shopping, buildings and an arcade is technologically not possible at the moment. 

Current manifestations of Web 3.0 include the popularity of internet enabled mobile devices and the merger of home appliances and entertainment systems with the web.

Advantages of Web 3.0

Web 3.0 has the potential to make the internet an always present feature in everyday life. But the main advantages of Web 3.0 include

  • Efficiency in search results
  • Efficiency in browsing for the user as there is better access to information 
  • Change in human interaction with a computer as the end user has complete control over their data by encrypting it
  • Intermediaries like Apple and Google and even governments will no longer have control over data, services or sites
  • Digital assets can be transferred and moved quickly and efficiently leading to the distribution of wealth with no barriers
  • No interruption of services as data is stored in nodes to reduce redundancy.
  • Multiple backs up will eliminate interruptions inflow of data
  • Sharing information will be easier
  • Harder to adopt fake identity online
  • Easier to work on the internet since it can be personalized

Centralized vs. Decentralized

One of the main differences between Web 3.0 and Web 1.0/2.0 is that Web 3.0 is decentralized and Web 1.0/2.0 is centralized. Decentralization provides a way to break free from the monopolies of FAANG (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, and Google) while simultaneously preserving user data ownership and privacy. With Web 1.0 and 2.0, platforms gradually expand in their capability to extract data from users. On the other hand, the collaborative nature of Web 3.0 and participation of independent developers prioritizes user security.

Disadvantages of Web 3.0

  • Only advanced devices will be able to handle Web 3.0 locking out the population that can’t afford such devices
  • Web 3.0 will be complicated for newcomers to grasp the concept
  • Privacy policy will be needed more than with previous web generations
  • It will be easier to find people’s private and personal information
  • Web 1.0 website will seem obsolete rendering them less appealing to customers 
  • People will spend too much time on the internet  
  • Web 3.0 will provide less anonymity so reputation management will be needed more than ever
  • Offers the possibility of mass entertainment which comes with social consequences

Challenges to anticipate in Web 3.0 implementation

Computer keyboard and mouse for web 3.0 implementation

While Web 3.0 sounds great the challenge of implementation is one that must be overcome in order to enjoy the Internet of Things. Some of the challenges include the vastness of the internet which will make it difficult for the computer to read all this data and while eliminating semantically duplicated terms.

Another major challenge is user vagueness which makes it hard for search engines to find the correct answers that users would be looking for. As a result, the application in use will provide general answers.

Another problem that could arise concerns the reliability of the data provided. Artificial intelligence will help to filter out deceptive data but if the data provided created to mislead the computer has no way of knowing this. Also, people may provide inconsistent information which can lead to the wrong analytic result.

According to industry pundits, the world is on the verge of an internet revolution.  Despite the challenges that it bears the change it can bring to everyday life and how people conduct business is incredible. There need to be more practical applications of Web 3.0 for people to truly understand its impact but this will come with time and seamless adoption.
