Abstract

This research examines how crowd-sourced delivery systems can be integrated with modern educational technologies to improve the quality and delivery of education. The study focuses on five key technologies: MOOCs, gamified learning platforms, AI-based personalized learning, block chain for credentials, and VR/AR learning environments. Using the Weighted Product Methodology (WPM), these technologies were assessed on user engagement, scalability, cost-effectiveness, and content quality. The results show significant differences in performance across technologies. Gamified learning platforms achieved the highest user engagement (98), indicating strong learner motivation. MOOCs scored highly on scalability (98) and content quality (87), confirming their relevance for large-scale education. Blockchain proved to be the most cost-effective solution (98), underscoring its potential for secure, low-cost credentialing. WPM analysis provided a comprehensive performance ranking, placing AI-based personalized learning at the top, followed by VR/AR learning environments. Using equal weights (35.00 per criterion) ensured a fair and balanced comparison. The study concludes that crowd funding can effectively leverage these technologies by promoting collaborative problem solving, collaborative content creation, and shared expertise. This integration can contribute to the evolution of global learning systems, leading to more engaging, accessible, and effective educational experiences.
