The Butter Thesis (2019)

Viewed 11
The Butter Thesis posits that some educational tools prioritize user experience (UX) and engagement—referred to metaphorically as 'butter'—over actual learning outcomes. Users have pointed out that platforms like Duolingo exemplify this by focusing on gamification, which may lead to a lack in substantive educational effectiveness. While enjoyable to use, such platforms may not yield significant learning results, raising questions about the balance between engagement and educational quality. A suggestion to collect this post as an NFT reflects the duality of digital content ownership in modern discussions.
