Description

The initial goal of the Virtual Library is to offer engaging educational material about different individuals and organizations in Decentraland. We have created a method for streamlined production and also will release a process for others to submit videos/courses to the Library. While the course material is currently focused on DCL, we plan to accept all kinds of courses in the future to include other material. **Needs / goals that will be satisfied:** • Decentraland is growing rapidly and every experience has different components and requirements to participate (tokens used, social medias to engage with, event schedules, game mechanics, etc.). For example: o DG has multiple currencies on multiple chains and participating in $ICE Poker requires specific wearables, staking, activations, delegation and more o The Decentraland Report uses Xpand as their social media platform, has tokenized music NFTs, $REPORT tokens, and more o This results in a high barrier to entry for most individuals as it requires learning about completely new concepts and items for every experience they want to participate in • Developing high-quality onboarding videos is very time consuming and often takes a backseat to the continued development work of DCL experiences **This grant will fund:** • The creation of educational onboarding videos for groups across Decentraland • Creation of gamified educational experiences in the CurationStation with future plans for gamification across Decentraland that encourage users to learn and explore what DCL has to offer • And will foster growth within DCL communities by breaking down complex ecosystems in easily digestible ways to onboard users **Description of feature / content:** • The current Library floor plan will be expanded and include new functionality (e.g. moveable ladders, integrated virtual courses, NPCs, item spawn points, and games) • Talking to the Librarian, users can complete an initial quest to receive a Library Card which gives users access to an introductory set of courses • Users can then complete additional quests to receive Library Credits and access additional virtual courses • Initially, courses (~1-5min) will be created by DCL Curations in partnership with the organization that the course covers – at no cost to the organization – and includes: o Script development and review with group o Audio recording o Visual recording o Video editing o Final review and edits o Course upload / Hosting in Library • Later, courses will also be able to be submitted to the team for review to ensure content accuracy. Accepted courses will be integrated in the Virtual Library & the creators will receive a cash reward from the Grant Course Creation Budget (payment amount TBD) **Skills / experience that will contribute to success:** • We have a team of top DCL Advisors and developers with design, modeling, SDK, and backend architecture skills that are working together to deliver a seamless experience to the DCL community • We have created a 10-part educational series for Decentral Games which is representative of the courses we will be creating for other DCL groups • Our current understanding of the inter-workings of many prominent groups in DCL allows for quicker development / review of video scripts **Links** Twitter: https://twitter.com/DCLCurations LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dclcurations/ Website: https://www.dclcurations.com/

Hey @palewin, thanks for the comment! I actually ran into Matt last night and planning to talk with him. I think there are definitely a lot of synergies to be made and would even love to have them showcased in the Curation Station! Based off of their proposal I think that they are more oriented towards instructor-lead courses for things like SDK, 3D Modeling, and wearable creation. With the CurationStation proposal we are focused on creating 1-5min video series that breakdown and explain the DCL Ecosystem and the current groups and individual experiences. We will be expanding to also accept course submissions and to include longer courses but, as of right now, we aren't setting it up for instructors and students (But this is another great reason to partner, and I can loop them in with Blockchain Learning Center, FlyingFox, Blockchain Training Alliance and others to help as well)! For the dev timeline, we are planning to have everything done in 4months. I know tier 4 grants have a 6month vesting period but I dont think that should equate to a 6 month dev timeline. We will already be planning for the next phase by the time month 5-6 come around!

Hi @DCLCurations!, how are you? Do you know Decentralwear Community Center? I was reading their[ last update](https://governance.decentraland.org/update/?id=a69a0580-32b3-11ed-b361-67b98a1da2c8) and I was wondering if this project is similar to yours. Could you explain the differences and/or complementarities? Also, could you give us clearly defined and measurable outcomes for months 5 and 6? Just to give more clarity to the community to continue voting. Thank you!

Congrats and i wish you all success. I loved the idea and i know this team will do it even better than it looks.

Congratulations on meeting the threshold

They have Maryana!!! Its a no brainer! We know she backs quality projects!

DedHeadJSep 08, 2022

DCLCurations = success. Looking forward to the outcome of this project!

DCLCurationsSep 07, 2022

Hey bay, thanks for the feedback! The $2,500 is for marketing AND community management. For marketing this would mainly involve giveaways, additional graphic design needed for posts, and sponsoring other DCL events! For community management this would be where Maryana comes in to establish the communication lines with groups that would like to have educational courses created and put into the Library! Our metrics for success are currently hitting our month-month milestones. If we require a grant for additional phases after the release then we will create a set of KPIs to measure engagement and performance!

baySep 07, 2022

Hey all, I think this is a great idea with a strong team. The only thing I'd like more clarification on is your 'marketing' spend and work with Maryana. Maryana has already made significant contributions to DCL community building, but it isn't clear here what M's role will be as community manager and it is not in the 4 month roadmap above. What is the $2500 community spend and can we see this defined in the roadmap? Ideally, metrics for the success of the project could be added too. Who do you wish to onboard with this educational resource and how will you reach them? Or is this for a marketing stage of the project which will require further grant support?

szjankoSep 06, 2022

I have collaborated with DCL Curations before and it was a great experience. I think he and his team will be able to accomplish the goals presented in this proposal. The proposal is very detailed and breaks down exactly how the funds will be used. This one is a YES vote from me.
