This panel examines the pedagogical approaches and curricular innovations emerging from universities that have received Interledger Foundation grants to integrate Open Payments technologies into their academic programs. Faculty representatives will present their methodologies for teaching complex concepts such as the Interledger Protocol and its relationship to the Open Payments API, cross-border payment mechanics, and decentralized financial infrastructure within existing computer science, economics, and financial technology coursework. The discussion will focus on curriculum design challenges, assessment strategies, and the integration of theoretical frameworks with hands-on implementation experience.
