Abstract

Requiring kids to earn their internet access from a self-serve education platform can serve as an effective means to supplement their education and develop a host of other life-skills, such as time management, accountability and attention to detail. The desire for credits serves as a single point of motivation which can be harnessed to teach any subject matter through well-designed activities. Enabling parents to control distribution of a subscription fee to activity developers of their choice keeps the user and developer communities connected with value flowing in both directions. Requiring FLS licensing and usability outside of this Django-powered credit-earning platform stimulates development of Edu-FLS software which thereby empowers children everywhere.
