Potential Abstract: Cognitive programs play a crucial role in enhancing learning experiences and knowledge retention in educational settings. This research explores the use of virtual currency as a tool to enhance cognitive programs and learning outcomes through a stigmergic approach to representation. Stigmergy, a concept derived from the field of artificial intelligence, refers to the process where indirect communication and coordination among agents result in the emergence of complex behaviors and structures. In the context of education, stigmergic systems can facilitate collaborative learning and knowledge construction by providing learners with opportunities to interact with each other’s representations through virtual currency transactions.
By incorporating virtual currency into cognitive programs, this study aims to investigate how learners’ engagement and motivation can be enhanced, leading to deeper and more meaningful learning experiences. The use of virtual currency allows learners to not only interact with course content but also with each other’s contributions, fostering a sense of community and collaboration. Through the analysis of student interactions and learning outcomes, this research seeks to provide insights into the effectiveness of virtual currency in promoting knowledge sharing, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills within educational environments.
