This project served to investigate the feasibility of the implementation of a digital time bank at Worcester Polytechnic Institute using the ARC method. The overall goal of this project was to provide students and faculty a system that enables them to connect with others to provide help or share knowledge with the use of time credits instead of money to pay for services. This was with the hope of creating an academic community between students and faculty. Through the use of Facebook groups and surveys, our group concluded that digital time banks with ARC are feasible and with enough participation would be beneficial for many.
