<figure><img src="/files/BuIIe1FvRsd0xXUsUzJp" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The VIDT Academy is a 'Do Your Own Research' platform created for the community around VIDT. It's designed to be a hub of learning where users, whether new or seasoned, can delve deeper into the realm of VIDT. The Academy provides information about the structure of [VIDT DAO](/ecosystem/vidt-dao.md), its key timestamping technology that verifies the authenticity of documents, and how this technology is applied by a list of diverse integrators.

The platform is designed to cater to a variety of interests, allowing users to select their topics of interest and self-educate. Importantly, the VIDT Academy is not just a one-way information hub - it's intended to be a dialogue. Users can provide feedback and suggest topics through a Google Form, which the team uses to expand and update the academy accordingly.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://academy.vidt-dao.com/ecosystem/vidt-academy.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
