TUDA OVERVIEW

TUDA has an ambitious dream of creating schools for everyone in this world. Regardless of being a professional or non-professional, users can learn and teach passionately based on one's own knowledge and experience, anywhere and and any time. Also, we will establish the largest education community based on blockchain for all content producers, who can monetize their information and receive copyright protection. Ultimately, the best policies and educational contents will be rigorously verified to provide the best educational experience to our users. To fulfill such dream, TUDA will begin its journey in South Korea, one of the educational meccas of the world.

Tutor's Diary

Issues with the Current Educational System

The current education system has many issues ranging from the size of the class, the location of the school, the quality of education, funding, home environment, etc. After analyzing such various issues, TUDA has decided to focus on three key topics:

  • Centralized Education System - Education is limited to where the student lives with a focus on mass education, which is typically managed by the government.
  • Quality of Education - It is difficult to assess the quality of education and transparency on the quality of education is low.
  • Fragmented Education Ecosystem - Difficult to assess the quality of education service and cost continues to rise while the quality remains unchanged.

Education is confined to the country the students live in and students will invest in private education the more they do not agree with the existing educational policies. Current educational policies are centralized by the governments, which makes it even more difficult to provide educational services customized for a student.

Blockchain-based Incentivized & Integrated Educational Service

In the era of accessibility, transparency, and safety, TUDA will gradually solve the chronic issues with the current education system through the decentralized method based on blockchain technology. Everything in education system today is centralized and the expansion of education services are difficult as costs rise from scale, while improving the quality of service is difficult. TUDA will combine the fragmented education environment with a goal to produce a blockchain-based protocol that will contribute in solving the issues with the education system we see today. It will be applied to fields as follows:

  • TUDA will apply a secure and fast transaction system and also implement a rational profit distribution scheme. This will be done by distributing copyrighted contents (curriculum, textbook feedback, course video, problem workbook, image, text, column, etc.) produced by each CP (Content Producer) through a decentralized method, using end to end blockchain technology.
  • TUDA will be designed with high-level security and will be developed based on blockchain technology. Through blockchain technology, TUDA aims to verify the current accreditation status (class completion/graduation, student ID, certificates, etc.) of each individual. All relevant data will be checked in a short period of time and forgery will not be possible.
  • TUDA will allow transactions of individuals' valuable contents freely and such transactions will be transparent as well as having almost no distribution charges.

KEY STAKEHOLDERS

Integrating an interactive community of teachers, parents and students in an effective decentralized ecosystem

  • Teachers

    A platform to communicate with other stakeholders as well as allow them to monetize their intellectual contents

  • Parents

    TUDA will focus on making relationship between the teacher, parent, and student, as well as the progress of the student transparent, enabling parents to make a better decisions into the education of the student

  • Students

    Utilizing a combination of blockchain technology and SMT's protocol with in-house big data systems to provide smart recommendations for the student

TUDA Platform

New Tutor's Diary

TUDA aims to first be the best community of teachers in the world. The beta version has already been released on the Android platform via the Google Play Store. TUDA will provide all of the tools needed by a teacher in one handy mobile application, from calendar/class management, student management, curriculum management, tuition management, etc. In the future, SMT's protocol will be added, as well as an added focus to further verify our teachers, a problem set marketplace, a tuition collection tool, etc. to make sure that TUDA is the only app needed for our teachers on the go.

A Crowd-Sourced Problem Solving

Once our community of teachers become more robust, the TUDA team will add a crowd-based problem solving feature, enabling students to ask any questions at any time. Our teachers will provide instantaneous solutions for these students. Using the TUDA platform, these solutions will then be processed with the SMT-incentivized platform to verify the solution that the teacher provided. Participants will receive TUDA tokens, that will be utilized in our TUDA ecosystem to purchase materials, classes, or be sent to an exchange.

TUDA will use internal big-data solutions to create an AI chatbot that will communicate with teachers, students, and parents, as well as provide a recommendation engine for the problems that have arisen.

My Little Class

Once our crowd-based problem solving platform has been through millions of cycles, the TUDA will release an MCN & VOD-based online classes for our students. This functionality will only be available for TUDA teachers that have been verified through our problem solving platform to ensure that our students receive instruction from verified teachers.

Students will have the option to participate in live classes with the MCN classes, or utilize a series of past classes on our VOD network.

My Little School

TUDA will become the first international educational platform that allows anyone with access to a mobile phone and internet to receive a quality education. Once our goal to become the best online tool in education succeeds, TUDA will also build offline schools to cater to students. Building this offline portion is crucial as students will need a sense of community that is highly unlikely with a pure online-based education.

Imagine a school where students gather to receive an education. A school where there are no teachers, but counselors, who are there to guide the students towards a customized curriculum. A school where each student learns at their own pace.
