Dear Steemians,
Team TUDA would like to apologize for not sending out more updates these past few weeks. Although it is an excuse, we were in the midst of a lot of app changes as well as revising our whitepaper.
Introduction to TUDA
TUDA is an educational project that uses blockchain technology to provide transparency, security and privacy, thus enhancing students and teachers educational experience. It also empowers teachers in boosting their income. We are creating the largest community of only teachers in the world, allowing them to actively engage with one another via chat, and increase their earning potential utilizing Steem's SMT protocol by writing quality curated articles (teaching know-how, educational fundamentals, styles, etc). On top of this, the app is designed to also cater to a teacher's management needs with a utility tool that allows a teacher to manage their schedules with a calendar tool, register their students, and monitor their progress, all in one platform. We currently have over 10k users in the beta version of the platform on the Android platform.
As we continue to build our robust community of teachers, we are also working on incorporating a crowd-problem-solving feature that allows any user to upload a problem set, and any one of our pool of teachers can either solve the problem for free and get paid by our curating feature (SMT protocol) or via the traditional money exchange via our token. Using the curation aspect of our platform, we are also able to verify which teachers are good at solving problems.
Another feature we are working on is MCN-based (Multi Channel Network) video classes. This feature is only for the teachers who are verified. Again, similar to the problem solving feature, they are paid by the curation upvote feature, or via a traditional token exchange between student/parent and the teacher. These classes are also audited and have to go through a user verification system so that we know which are teachers are good at teaching online classes.
Teachers are also able to create curricula that they can incorporate into the classroom. This is where everything gets really interesting. We are building an O2O (online-to-offline) aspect where we are creating physical schools with curricula that are taught via VR/AR. Therefore, all of the adults at the physical schools are not teachers but more like guidance counselors that help customize the right curriculum for each student.
Investment into TUDA
The vision for TUDA’s project is certainly grandiose, but we think that this is the time for change, especially in the educational community. With that said, while we are in the midst of undergoing our private ICO, we would like to open up our initial sale to the Steemit community.
1 STEEM = 10 TUDA tokens (to be distributed at a later date)
Incentive Tokens = 25% additional tokens (to be distributed at a later date)
Minimum Investment Amount = 100 STEEM
Please send your STEEM to tuda. This record will be used to keep an open ledger on investment. This will be initially open from October 2 to October 14. If you have any questions, please join the following Telegram channel (https://t.me/joinchat/HqNa-09wPyaomiCRI4h4lA).
