Binance Academy Introduces University-Accredited Programs with Discount and Rewards

Binance Academy has recently unveiled a range of university-accredited programs in partnership with leading educational institutions in Europe. These programs are designed to provide learners with in-depth knowledge and understanding of blockchain technology and digital assets.

The participating universities include the Prague University of Economics and Business (VŠE), the European Business Institute (EBI) of Luxembourg, and the ESCP Business School. Each program has been developed in collaboration with experienced professors who teach crypto and blockchain-related courses on campus.

To ensure accessibility and affordability, Binance Academy has priced the enrollment fees for these programs at just 10 USDT. This discounted rate aims to make high-quality education in the field of blockchain accessible to learners worldwide.

Upon successful completion of a program, participants will receive a co-branded certificate from the respective university and Binance Academy, enhancing their credentials and knowledge in the blockchain industry.

To celebrate the launch of these university-accredited programs, Binance Academy is offering a limited-time discount and rewarding participants. During the activity period, users who enroll in any of the new programs using Binance Pay will receive a 60% discount on the enrollment fees. This means that the enrollment fee for each program is reduced to 4 USDT during the promotional period.

Furthermore, the first 2,000 new users who complete the program and meet specific requirements will receive a 4 USDT token voucher as a reward. The tasks include registering for a Binance account, completing identity verification, purchasing a university program using Binance Pay, completing the program, and sharing the certificate of completion on social media.

It is important to note that this activity may not be available in all regions, and only verified Binance users from qualified regions where Binance Pay is available are eligible to participate and receive rewards. The token voucher rewards will be distributed within 21 working days after the activity ends.

Binance Academy aims to provide comprehensive and accessible education in the field of blockchain and digital assets. Through these university-accredited programs, learners can enhance their knowledge and skills, bolstering their understanding of the rapidly evolving blockchain industry.

Binance Integrates AI Chatbot ChatGPT into Its Education Platform

In late November 2022, the artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot ChatGPT made headlines worldwide, sparking much opposition to the technology. However, despite the initial pushback, the technology has continued to gain traction and see growing implementations. The latest example of this is the integration of ChatGPT into Binance Academy, the education platform of cryptocurrency exchange and blockchain developer Binance.

On April 24, Binance announced the launch of its new AI-driven tool, the Binance Sensei, which uses machine learning to source answers from Binance Academy’s education platform to help users answer questions related to Web3. The tool is essentially an “AI-powered mentor” that users prompt with a specific question or keywords. In response, the Sensei provides a “concise, approximately 150-word summary” for each user.

Although the news has been received positively by many in the Binance community, some have questioned the idea of “allowing a robot to be our teacher.” The integration of AI in education has sparked concerns about the potential misuse of the technology.

Binance Sensei is not the first AI-based learning tool to be implemented in the cryptocurrency space. Industry giants such as Microsoft, Google, and Alibaba have all announced their own versions of ChatGPT. The technology is also finding a role in bringing more efficiency to the memecoin community.

However, the adoption of AI in various industries has also led to an increase in concern over the technology’s capabilities if left unchecked. Italy was one of the early adopters of a brief ban on the usage of the technology, while regulators across the European Union have decided to probe the AI-algorithms of BigTech companies.

Industry insiders speculate that there may be an upcoming regulatory crackdown on AI as it becomes more pervasive. In China, for instance, authorities are set to enforce mandatory security reviews for all AI services in the country.

In conclusion, the integration of AI chatbot ChatGPT into Binance Academy is another example of the increasing use of AI in various industries, including cryptocurrency. While the technology may provide many benefits, it is important to consider its potential consequences and regulate its use to prevent misuse.

Binance Academy Collaborates with Coursera for Global Blockchain and Web3 Education

Binance Academy, the educational arm of Binance, has forged a partnership with renowned online learning platform Coursera to develop certified Web3 educational programs, according to a recent announcement. These programs aim to span a wide array of Web3 and blockchain topics and are designed to cater to both foundational and professional certification needs.

Binance Academy’s collaboration with Coursera is expected to play a vital role in filling the knowledge gap between the rapidly evolving blockchain technology and the contemporary workforce.

 “In a world where Web3 is becoming increasingly prevalent, understanding blockchain technology has become essential for everyone,” Binance said in its statement. The collaboration extends the reach of Binance Academy’s educational initiatives, with the objective of spreading blockchain knowledge globally and fostering financial inclusion and innovation.

Coursera, a leading e-learning platform with a user base of more than 124 million, will make Binance Academy’s blockchain programs available to a wider audience. These programs are designed to cater to a range of learners, from beginners to budding blockchain professionals, and will include reading materials, video lectures, practice and graded assessments, and projects. On completion, learners will receive a digital certificate verifying their newly-acquired skills and knowledge.

This partnership is aligned with the increasing demand for qualified blockchain and crypto professionals. As the adoption of blockchain technology accelerates, there’s a noticeable skills gap emerging which needs to be addressed to unlock the full potential of this technology.

“Education is the cornerstone of progress and innovation,” said Yi He, Binance co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer. “We’re combining the strengths of two industry leaders with a shared vision – to provide best-in-class education that will drive adoption and build the foundations for Web3.”

Binance Academy and Coursera’s joint endeavor is poised to contribute significantly to the blockchain industry by educating and empowering individuals with essential blockchain skills, thus facilitating the transition into a more decentralized future.
