Frequently Asked Questions

Question's about S.A.G.E.

You don't think that a system can work this way...do you?

That's a tough question but thankfully, our team is on it. Please bear🐻 with us while we're investigating.

This system needs teachers & students to work together and agree about everything. This will never work.

Au contraire, it works for whomever needs it. The S.A.G.E. works as an exchange of values system. S.A.G.E. itself does not choose what is fair and what isn't, it indirectly makes the assumption that all is fair unless it is not. If it is unfair the system responds accordingly and rebalances to find the optimal amount of fairness.

Is it accessible without an internet connection?

Yes, after a few months we finally found the answer. Sadly, Mike is on vacations right now so I'm afraid we are not able to provide the answer at this point.

Questions about D.I.T.

Who has access to a Digital textbook?

Naturally a digital interactive textbook should be publicly available. However, privacy restrictions and personal reasons may mean that a particular individual is not wiling to offer source material such as a digital interactive textbook without payment or reimbursement. Anything S.A.G.E. directly publishes or associates with itself will be available for public auditing and inspection, we don't want to hold back anyone from learning. Courses offered through the S.A.G.E. may contain additional access to privately available source material hosted by independent providers.

Who can make a D.I.T.?

Anyone. Individuals or groups, or anyone who wants to teach or spread knowledge, can create a digital interactive textbook. The idea of a D.I.T. is to harness the power of modern technology to create interactive learning tools for students and individuals to empower themselves and learn new subjects and skills.

D.I.T.'s can be programmable, distributed, decentralized, open-source. Because a D.I.T. is digital, it's incredibly versatile compared to traditional textbooks and other learning tools. D.I.T.'s integrated with Virtual/Augmented realities, learning engines, and other educational apps allow for smooth transitions between schools, courses/subjects for both teachers and learners.

Does it work offline?

Most components of a digital textbook can be downloaded and accessed offline. More interactive simulations may require an internet connection for data feeds. Regular script and other sims using code should work just fine.
