The core difference is, in Learniverse we empower users to curate their own learning pathways. The idea is that, creating a learning pathway can provide clear goals, personalized and structured learning, measurable progress, and foster a lifelong learning mindset.
While on Udemy/Coursera, users take courses with pre-defined, one-size-fits-all curriculums.
At a later stage with more users, Learniverse will be more like other MOOC platforms given more learning pathway being curated. But the core difference remains - users will have the capability to modify their learning pathways, adding content by themselves, including composable learning materials/steps from other pathways.
We are also working on an algorithm that generate learning pathways given users' learning goals. In this way, provide a better starting point for user to curate their pathways.

I was thinking that this might be something that a web3/Open source version of a standard would make sense
