Enabling Technology Adoption: Examining web3 Educational Assets

Abstract

This capstone project leverages relevant research on technology adoption and human learning science to inform strategic recommendations for our partner organization. The capstone was experimentally designed to measure the effect of three different websites’ web3 educational assets upon participants’ web3 confidence and attitudes towards NFT marketplaces. The data supported recommendations for our partner organization to leverage learner-constructed instructional models and to employ a scaffolded, personalized instructional approach (informed by cognitive load theory and constructivism) for a more effective educational strategy to encourage technology adoption.
