«Woolf: building the first blockchain university» This presentation describes our efforts to build Woolf: the first blockchain-powered university with its own native token. Woolf will be a borderless, digital educational society which reimagines how teachers and students connect and which will rely on blockchains and smart contracts to guarantee relationships between students and educators. For students, Woolf will be the Airbnb of degree courses; for teachers, it will be a decentralised, non-profit, democratic community; but for both parties the use of blockchain technology will provide the contractual stability needed to complete a full course of study. It is our ambition for Woolf to revolutionize the university. However, at its core, it makes possible the oldest and most venerable form of human education: direct personal, individual apprenticeships in thinking. Woolf has been developed by an independent group of academics (mostly from the University of Oxford), and experienced academics will form the first college in the collegiate university. We believe such a personal education will be increasingly valuable as artificial intelligence and robotics gain an ever-greater share of the current jobs. The Woolf platform is designed to reduce bureaucracy, lower tuition costs, secure teaching salaries, and increase the time that students interact with their professors. The result will be simple and powerful: students and teachers are brought together, no matter where they are in the world.

«The challenge of innovating in massive university classrooms» In recent decades, talking about innovation in university teaching has become a recurring theme within the institutions themselves. However, what is innovation?, why should we innovate?, how can we innovate in the larger classes?, which are the effects and impacts of authentic educational innovation?, can we innovate from the routine or just disruptively? or how can be evaluated the effects and impacts of an innovation? During his presentation, the researcher will carry out an analysis based on the available evidence and the experiences of teachers and students, proposing models and actions that are feasible to tackle in the daily life of university training contexts.
