What is NTOK (Tutor Ninja Token)
The Ninja Token Tutor («NTOK») is a global decentralized ecosystem for continuing education aimed at enabling tutors and students to interact through online platforms based on blockchain.
The destination platform The NTOK
The goal The NTOK platform aims to solve all these problems by developing an online guidance ecosystem based on blockchain technology. The key participants of NTOK are tutors and students. Other participants include content providers and educational content interested in drawing the attention of NTOK viewers to their products. The main focus of the NTOK platform is foreign languages, other popular topics and topics, preschool education, additional instruction for K-12 students, as well as coding and blockchain courses. NTOK allows tutors specializing in various topics to join the platform. After completing a series of online lessons, students can start working with different tutors on the same topic, or they can learn with multiple tutors simultaneously.
The open nature of the platform means that the ecosystem will grow rapidly. In NTOK, each student can find a tutor and each tutor can find students. Unlike other "intermediary" models to bring students and tutors together, NTOK takes a minimum commission on direct contact: it is possible to generate interest in the service by keeping it affordable, to reduce the price of services, and to attract larger ones. the number of students into the ecosystem.
We have created an Alpha version of the NTOK platform. Currently, we are testing it as an online English school in tutor-ninja.com, which will be a pilot project for a decentralized model (peer-to-peer) to interact with a centralized online school. Through the lessons that have been done in tutor-ninja.com platform, we communicate regularly with students and tutors and get quick feedback from them about how the platform peer-to-peer we must evolve and which functions are to be developed.
We expect NTOK token values to increase significantly in the short term if there is an increasing number of platform members and the use of fast tokens, which should create high demand for NTOK tokens. The NTOK management team gets incentives from NTOK grants that are subject to certain locking requirements.
During the initial stages, our plan is for the NTOK platform
give the following functions:
1.Tutor search and selection
Students will be able to search by using some parameters, for example: by subject, profile, language, price, rating, availability, etc.
Students will receive a set of profiles for available tutors to teach the requested subject for a price and at the time specified as part of the search
- Online schedule for tutors and students
Students will be able to see free slots in their teachers' schedules as well as their upcoming lessons.
- Direct payment to the tutor using the crypto token in the Ethereal blockchain
Students will know that they pay tutors directly, without paying significant markup to an intermediary.
4.Area interactive study
Participants will enjoy audio and video connections of better quality than Skype, chat, file sharing, interactive whiteboards, and also benefit from interactive testing systems that offer unique types of exercises for each subject category.
- Rating system based on blockchain
Only students who have attended a lesson with a tutor can leave feedback on the tutor. This is technically impossible
for anyone except students to create, moderate, or delete any feedback. This ensures that the assessment is based exclusively on the real and reliable experience possible. The overall rating of the tutor will be calculated based on a large number of parameters, including: the average rating over the previous 30 days (so tutors who have received a large number of positive reviews in a long time will not drop in too many ratings due to a bad review), an assessment for materials a tutor course, and a rating for the video lessons that the tutor has noted. Students will be able to view and post these ratings separately.
6.The video lesson
Tutors will have the ability to record video lessons (either free or paid) that every student can use. Students will be able to post separate ratings for video lessons. The video lessons will be organized according to the following parameters: subject, profile, language, price / free, view count, rating. Video lessons will give students greater access to learning content and also enable tutors as additional marketing
opportunities within the ecosystem and additional opportunities to obtain NTOK tokens.
Technology and architecture of NTOK platform
The NTOK ecosystem consists of two main blocks:
learning platform and blockchain, with
blockchain both internal and external
blocks.
Learning platform
The NTOK learning platform provides the following functionalities: search, tutorial selection and assessment, online scheduling, payments, virtual classes, interactive tests, licensed content, video lessons. Our technical platforms are based on ReactJS, Golang and the OpenTok audio / video streaming service (while in the future audio and video will be streamed by the Dapp Blockchain solution)
Blockchain
The tutor will be paid on the NTOK tokens directly by students through the Ethereal block (ERC20 standard).
To get a better currency exchange rate to token exchange
The ability will be integrated into the system.
Assessment systems and reviews for tutors, video lessons and
Educational content will be based on the smart Ethereum
contract. Students can only rate tutors after which
lessons lessons Video lessons and educational content will be
rated after payment (for paid content). Ratings will be
based on blockchain reviews and are unlikely
to change and manipulate.
In addition, video lessons and other content can be found in distributed file storage systems built on DHT technology and content addresses such as Sia, Storj, Ethereum Swarm, MadeSAFE and others. This will make it possible to reduce storage and maintenance costs.
Marketing
To attract both tutors and teachers to the platform we plan to take advantage of all classic channels of Internet marketing, such as contextual and display, native
and social networks of advertising as well as local channels in countries where we will have a presence as NTOK geographically expands.
We also plan to take advantage of the NTOK tokenholders crypto community by providing relevant courses of coding, blockchain and other crypto topics.
Many centralized platforms and middlemen are put in disadvantage by tutors who hunt students and then continue teaching them on their own via Skype.
Both students and tutors in the NTOK ecosystem will do so have an interest to remain within the platform. The low commission rate NTOK is charged (made possible in the absence of the usually traditional fees associated with the presence of an intermediary) removes the incentive of tutors to leave, In addition to the functionality of the NTOK platform and its relationship with content providers, it will motivate tutors and students to stay. Until this simultaneous automatic translation technology is available everywhere, our expansion will be limited by the speed at which we can attract the tutors in our target market.
Although the tutors and students can speak different languages, without this hindering the teaching and
learning process, as far as language training is concerned, Almost all the other learning branches still exist asking us to recruit tutors who speak the same language
as students. So, for two to three years we will first focus
on certain geographic markets. Our first priorities are
China, South Korea, and Japan. Outside of Asian countries we are very interested in Spanish-speaking
countries (Spain, South America, Mexico), USA, and UK.
We expect the number of participants in our platform to grow exponentially over the next three years.
So a brief review about NTOK project I created. For your question, you can ask directly to their project.
The
Pre-Sale ICO details will take place between December 5, 2017 and January 15, 2017. On Pre-Sale token, NTOK will be sold under the following conditions: 50% Bonus, minimum purchase $ 25,000, 1 NTOK = $ 1.00.
The ICO is planned to take place between 15 January 2018 and 15 February 2018. The tokens are expected to be distributed within 2 weeks after the ICO ends or earlier.
The NTOK tokens will be issued during ICO with a starting price of $ 1.00 every first week of ICO. As long as the price of ICO token NTOK will increase every week:
