When you learn something helpful, to share it with other 1Cademists, the very first thing you need to do is "progressive differentiation."
Divide what you learned into many small pieces of information. Each granular piece represents a single concept that we call a node.

First, progressive differentiation. Then, for each piece (node), do the following:
1- Integrative reconciliation.
2- Add a proposal to that node for your new node.
3- Propose improvements to the nodes and relations created by others.
4- While learning, try to come up with brilliant ideas and propose them as idea nodes in relevant areas on the map.
5- If you find helpful references, such as textbooks, research papers, websites, ..., propose and share them with 1Cademists as reference nodes.
6- Propose question nodes to evaluate how other 1Cademists have learned the knowledge on the 1Cademy map.
7- Answer as many questions as you can every day to improve your long-term learning.

When you learn something helpful, follow this procedure to share it with other 1Cademists:

Progressive differentiation in 1Cademy

Navigate through the 1Cademy map to find the most relevant area. Then, identify one node as the direct prerequisite that without learning it first, it does not make sense to learn your new node. We call that a parent node and the offspring nodes are its children.

Integrative reconciliation in 1Cademy

A node is considered "modified" either directly or indirectly when one or more of the following occurs: 
- Direct modification: When a proposal for an improvement to an existing node has been posted and approved.  
-  Indirect modification: (1) When a proposal for an improvement to a directly linked parent/child node has been posted and approved.  (2) A parent/child node has been deleted.

Modifications in 1Cademy

To create a new node or improve an existing node, you should propose the modification by clicking on the pencil icon in the node's toolbar.
