Indeed, wise words there!

The education revolution is upon us.

As a believer in education I feel that OSU is definitely one to support. The opportunity to lower costs, remove third parties and utilise blockchain tech and really change things up within the education space. Excited to see where this project will go.

Soft cap will do it, and I think they already reached that with private funding. Could be wrong though. I do know there was plenty of early interest in this one.

Education is a real investment. We all need it however not everyone has access to it for whatever the reason. I just love what OSU is trying to achieve. It will enable students irrespective of background to have a record of attainment and show potential employers that they don't necessarily have to have a degree or specific curriculum for x number of years in order to make them an ideal candidate. The impact could be HUGE.

The lottery idea is such a great one. Thank you OS university for giving such a generous opportunity to everyone. Not many ICO'S out there do that kind of thing. 3000 EDU is a very nice amount

Developers have used their talents. And they did the right thing, they did not start spraying, but took the direction for education and certification.

Know so many people who have faced the same problem. will be great to change that all around.

I hope that the project has enough time to collect a hard cap, I want it to be implemented in a short time.

I love how the team have already announced the exchanges so early. Goes to show the dedication they have for this project and all its contributors.

The will be organised by the course provider and in most cases when it concerns online courses they are most probably going to be online.

Best,
Teddy

There is already an form open for registration for early adopters in our website - https://os.university/platform/ You could register for receiving the most recent updates and once the platform is ready, you'll be one of the first to try it

We already have some major partnerships that help us create the first steps for a massive adoption of the project. Our research work and established relationships with local renowned Universities and recruiting businesses provide us with great potential for further business development in all the areas - Academia, Businesses, Learners.

We are also in close relationship with student unions and organisations helping students find better opportunities for Career Development. The OS.University digital competence passport will store all the information about their skill set and achievements and thus making it easier for all to improve. Such an example is our partnership with Access MBA - they plan to use OS.University platform as an exclusive professional pool of candidates. Access MBA as a Business will have access to learner’s profiles which contain educational, work experience, skills & qualifications track record, validated and verified on the Blockchain. Therefore we will easy their higher education matching service.

There are other examples as well such as the student union ESTIEM - https://medium.com/the-os-university-blog/os-university-featured-in-esteim-fafb7661702d Though one of the most recent update from our side is the fact that we joined the London’s edtech hub for innovators, powered by UCL and partners.

Hi, @freakontop! Thank you fo this question, people are asking it from time to time.

So here's the fun fact - there's no heavy competition (yet!). Why? Because companies such as Sony Global Education prefer to build corporate software, private blockchain integrations that is paying out faster. They go from institution to institution to implement their blockchain credentialing solutions as-a-service, instead of building an open, end user-oriented platform. It is understandable why - you can build one open platform for all or get a contract from 1000 institutions one-by-one to work on substituting their current databases with smart ledgers (which will give you some pretty good income if you are a services company). The competitors prefer the latter. We stick to what matters and therefore we remain unique - we help learners claim and advance their academic and professional identity beyond institutional and national borders by providing them with a global competence passport on the immutable blockchain.

very well put Couldn't agree more

What you've noted is  very true. Also where i am situated is a very bad location due to facilities available or transportation to certain areas. the only reason I am here is because this was the closest location to my accomadation. With this new project people will not have to worry themselves about where they go or how they will be able to get around (those are some of the reasons people dont move to higher education) everything they need will be accessible online from the comfort of their own home.

I think this is a very brilliant idea .. with a very interesting concept and have a good prospect for the future later.project like this is feasible to get support .. hopefully can run smoothly and achieve maximum sales results

Universities are massively out of touch and half the time, the lecturers don't want to be there anymore than the students do  More and more people are looking at more time affordable and cost effective options to educate themselves to help them progress in their careers but of course validity and certification is a massive issue. Until now.
I really wish this project the greatest of success and hope everyone will get involved and use this as an opportunity to begin to change the landscape of our learning.

The lottery is a great idea. We need people to hear about this great project.
