Binance Academy Revamp: Newer Look, Easier to Use, More to Learn
At Binance Academy, we find new ways to make everyone’s blockchain education more convenient, so we launched a major update to Binance Academy’s website. The educational arm of Binance has rolled out several new features in the revamp, all with the purpose of enhancing the user experience to facilitate faster and better learning.
These new features include:
A new homepage, which incorporates user experience improvements and new user-friendly functions.
Cryptocurrency education Playlists, which offers a curated sequence of content about important blockchain themes.
Promoted Content, which shines a spotlight on the most relevant and timely endeavors by Binance Academy.
We recognize that a comprehensive library of educational content can only do so much and that we have a responsibility to present this content in the most impactful way possible. The user experience enhancements done on the website will go a long way in making sure that the growing blockchain community is better informed.
The New Homepage: Tweaks and Changes
Binance Academy’s website update incorporated many of the feedback that our various patrons have provided about their use of the website. Here’s a breakdown of those enhancements.
Reading time estimations on each article can give you an idea of how long it will normally take for you to understand the topic. On the screenshot above, you’ll see a timer icon at the bottom left of every entry, below the title.
A new video indicator icon will let you know if a certain topic has a video you can watch. Look for the video icon below the title, beside the reading time estimate.
An automated Image refactoring function which reduced loading speeds and reduces precious data usage.
Various under-the-hood enhancements on the website also contribute to the overall learning experience.
Check out how each of these enhancements works on the newly revamped website.
The website also features two major additions, which we’ll discuss in detail.
Playlists: Streamline You Blockchain Education
Playlists are custom-made clusters of videos and articles about specific topics in blockchain and cryptocurrency. This new feature will make it easier for users to find, follow, and understand the topics that they want to learn.
Since its launch, Binance Academy grouped its content into four categories: Blockchain, Economics, Security, and Tutorials. However, a lot of the topics within the blockchain and cryptocurrency world tend to overlap between at least two of these categories.
With the addition of Playlists, people are given more options to explore content and lessons on the website.
We’ve debuting seven new Playlists today, which you can explore by clicking through each link below:
