This is very similar to other blokchain applications to create DRM-like capabilities in e-books and other publications. For example, Scenarix is a company that has worked with NRC to build blockchain publishing solutions; it anticipates rolling out its Bookchain application for general use in October of this year. Spitball, meanwhile, is building on its (non-blockchain) 1.0 application that does things like reward small amounts of money for homework answers. The proposed 2.0 application (white paper) would tokenize the interactions, creating what it calls "the world's first decentralized student economy". It will have to be faster than Woolf University to do that.
