Overview

Delve into the NFT market with the experts at RMIT

An NFT (Non-Fungible Tokens) is a unique representation of an asset or good in the form of a virtual token. With the digital asset marketplace continuing to grow, NFTs look set to stay.

On this four-week course, experts from RMIT’s Blockchain Innovation Hub will guide you through the world of NFTs and the blockchain technology that supports them.

Through investigating real-world cases, you’ll gain practical experience in minting your own NFT and engaging with the NFT community.

Explore key terms and elements of NFTs

On the course, you’ll learn the key terms of NFT to ensure you have a solid understanding of how NFTs work and how to navigate the ecosystem.

You’ll also investigate the possibilities created by NFTs as you explore examples that are disrupting art, entertainment, sports, business, gaming, and numerous other industries.

Some exercises in the course will provide options that you can choose depending on your interest, such as using NFTs in business for marketers, valuing NFTs for investors, or using NFTs as an artist.

Learn how to mint an NFT

The course will take you step-by-step through how to mint, store, and share NFTs as well as the risks involved with this.

You’ll also learn about common NFT transactions including strategies for marketing NFTs and methods for pricing and buying an NFT.

Explore NFT communities

Finally, the course will prepare you to further experiment with NFTs on your own.

You’ll examine the rights and regulations that apply to NFTs and be introduced to NFT communities. You’ll receive guidance on safely navigating and interacting with these communities to ensure you feel comfortable exploring NFTs outside of this course.

This course is designed for anyone interested in NFTs and blockchain technology.

You could be a digital artist wanting to buy and sell NFTs of your artwork, a professional marketer looking to build NFT campaigns, a gamer wanting to create gaming NFTs or an investor wishing to gain financial reward from NFTs.
