Introduction

Purpose

This document describes the process for proposing, developing, and publishing GBA courses on the Government Blockchain Training Academy (GBTA) portal. GBA Course authors receive 25% of all revenue received from online content posted on the GBLA Portal.

Overview

The GBA encourages GBA members to develop blockchain related courses and to publish them on the Government Blockchain Training Academy portal. Courses must be related to a Working Group. The Working Groups shall review and approve the proposal to develop the course and the completed course. Once the appropriate Working Group and the Education Curriculum Development Working Group approve the course, it is published on the portal. If the course is a paid online course, the course creator(s) receive 25% of the revenue received by students taking the course. The course authoring revenue is shared amongst the authors based on a split negotiated and determined by the Working Group Leader.
