Topic: [EDTECH - Educational Game] Soqqle: A social game online to spent time better (Read 392 times)

Hi! somehow didn't get a notification sorry! Yes we did the alpha and we got some schools signed up.

We're now prepping for beta here at beta.soqqle.com

Also coincidentally, we're allowing the platform to be used by communities to create challenges. One of which, the use case for challenges are for bounty management! Right now am planning the feature to integrate with facebook page likes.

One challenge there however is bad actors where folks unlike a page and come here to like. Can't think of a good way to handle that.

I like the concept of joining eSports with education and I know gaming is huge in Singapore. Have you gone through the Alpha release yet?

The traditional methods of education in a classroom setup and with conventional tools is outdated and the younger generation is more geared towards online gaming and social media these days.

Good luck with this project, I think your target market for this is perfectly chosen. 

We recently went deep in the education gaming world. In this topic we are hitting on game-based learning.

The key problem we expanded howver is: Its hard for teachers to incorporate or join an eco-system of games.
Here's a cool article imo: http://blog.soqqle.com/educational-game-education-21st-century/

If you are a teacher and use games in the classroom - do step up to share what you use and what you think is bad!

Hi we recently deep-dived into the markets and on our 4th product iteration think we found the right fit.

We document it here. https://medium.com/soqqle/soqqle-a-new-cool-story-666e75ee1182
It's about helping people find affinity and belonging.

Let us know what you think?

Soqqle Founder - Daniel will be co-hosting this talk in Vietnam to spread about use of Blockchain in the Education world.

We have a new screen for the tasks that can be done on our platform!



Illuminate is a single player task which yields you 1 token (max once a day).
Deep Dive is a 2 player task which yields 10 tokens (max once a week) which you have to do with a friend.

Once the task is completed, an animated spinner is used (per the above screenshot)
Decode (MCQ and True/False Answers) and Brainstorm are higher level tasks.

Let us know if you have feedback on UX!

Thanks. The token is only awarded after the completion of a task (the simplest one is illuminate which is single player).

You have to initiate it from the "progression" tab. We are fixing the GUI to make it more intuitive.

Yes I able to create a character but to put it bluntly I didn't see a token as I get it done. And is it natural that if there's no notification the notification tab wouldn't shows up too?

Thank you! We'd get that fixed.

Also you are able to "create your character', play around with the few progressions, and then try an illuminate (a single player task) which can net you 1 token. It should work, whilst we are still fixing some GUI upgrades.

Still pretty raw as we are in Alpha but the ability to earn a token is there. (we may or may not keep the tokens during go live, depends on the type of bugs found)

Mistakes I found on your site:


That's all but so far I love the concept, it'll revolutionized the way education and gaming tends to be.

Hi, we're looking for

1) professors, lecturers or people in education space to share some feedback on existing platforms (eg blackboard). We have some use cases on making learning more engaging as opposed to how the current platforms are like (outdated).

2) Also, if you have opinions and feedback on these platforms like Blackboard as a user, pls share!

Will love to see to invite to our alpha / beta.

Soqqle dazzles crowds and audiences in the first ever Future of Work Conference on 22 March 2018 in Nanyang Technological University.

A Future of Work Conference will be held in Nanyang Technological University (Student Activity Centre) on Thursday, 22 March 2018 from 1–9pm. With an alluring speaker lineup of CEOs, Founders and Senior Executives in High-Tech disruptive ventures, the event promises to be a bonanza of inspiration, knowledge, and engagement. Full Details Here: ANN-First Ever Future of Work Conference

This event is organized and created by Soqqle.

If you are in Singapore, sign up here!

"[10 Mar 2017, Singapore] Soqqle (the Future of Work Company) has won a government sponsored grant to pilot a platform that gamifies learning to make it purposeful. The technology aims to help people identify their passion faster and smarter, with a goal that spirals youths into the upcoming industrial 4.0 revolution.

It took months to pitch and obtain the grant. Daniel had to pitch multiple panels made up of directors in education institutions. As Blockchain is a new concept in most industries, additional focus was needed to articulate usage of the technology to increase engagement with youths."

Well the quick solution is to have this on Android mobile phones, because this will give them the freedom to move around

and not to be stuck in front of a computer. The social element will be a great addition, because these kinds of games are

doing very well. {Thinking of games like Clash of Clans style games or Pokémon GO} 

So the way it works for our game is, instead of killing monsters (like traditional games) - they have to do tasks. Some of which are with friends (get out of the door!). Am betting on that as an incentive too. We are releasing this soon these few weeks, will welcome you guys to check it out

Correct. If there is no incentive or carrot for them to do this, they will lose interest and move on to the next NEW thing.

Kids wants to be constantly stimulated and they tend to lose interest, once it becomes boring. If you reward them with

something they like, they would do this till they drop. Just remember to implement a "cut off" switch, where their screen

time is limited. {They are kids after all and should be doing things out door too.}  

The Goal~


Inviting Educators / Gamers / Raiders to Join our Community~

Wow! They must be happy that they were learning it few years ago

The first step is fun with education. 2nd step is to incentivize with tokens, 3rd step is to exchange it for fancy items. People could also purchase tokens for special in-game bonuses, or obtain mentorships. That's the overarching idea. If anyone has other ideas on what else could be purchased for - pls pm me. I would like to invite all hardcore gamers (world of warcraft!) to help us with the brainstorm. haha.

If you can combine fun with educational programs, then you will have a winning combination. A few years ago I introduced

Bitcoin to my Niece and Nephew, but I used a popular faucet and a game where they could earn bitcoin, whilst playing a

game. They spend weeks playing around with this and when I spoke to them again, they were showing me all their money

{a whole $100 worth} and all the other things they have learned about Bitcoin. {stuff I did not show them} 

Soqqle presents in a couple of speeches about Blockchain and how to design a power-solution.

Talks were done in Singapore, Silicon Valley, and Chennai. Read about it here.

We had a podcast last week and it's out here: link

Topic:

• Why technological advancement can be problematic
• How it is crucial to use technology for good
• The early stages of Soqqle and the barrier of irrationality
• Why digital tokens can help overcome that barrier
• How decentralized systems fare against centralized ones
• What a fully decentralized system will mean for individuals
• How Soqqle’s gamification will make self-improvement fun

Thank you.

Thanks for your encouragement! Actually my background is in JPMorgan, and i was lucky with career development with my managers. I wish to take the best in learning and development and spread them to the masses. And power it x100 with tokens as a behavioral incentive.

Singapore is the starting base given it's support for a Smart Nation. The next milestones will go into North East Asia (VN/PH/JP/CN/KR).  

thank you, will join

Hi Daniel,

I hope that you are doing well and I wish you good luck for your future endeavors.

I have skimmed through your whitepaper just to get the idea of your project. It looks interesting.
As a video production and explainer video company, we always love to work on projects related to Education and Renewable Energy. It will be our honor to make an ICO video for Soqqle. Please visit our website for our sample videos.

http://showanimations.com/portfolio/

We have created 3 ICO videos but due to NDA, we cannot publish videos here. Kindly pm me or share your personal email. Thank you and looking forward to helping you for your ICO video.

p.s. Our charges are very reasonable. We will take 40% of the cost in FIAT currency and the remaining 60% in the form of Soqqle tokens.

What a revolutionary education system. We know nowadays school education system is really bad. I believe we need much more invention that focused in the education system. And this project is fit perfectly.

But looks like you only try planning the system to be adapted in the Singapore school. Singapore has the best education system in the world, and I believe if you try the system in other countries the statistics of how the project affects the student motivations is more clear and legitimate.

Sent you a PM mate! Can't wait to chat.



It'd be in Q2~

can this still list?
is the ICO time out?

please inform me

Precisely! I'm associated with an Ed-Tech firm which conducts logical reasoning tests for high school kids.We actively use adaptive learning programs to customise questions according to students initial mental capabilities.That's why I was interested to know further 
Just so you know,I'm also a Software professional.

We are aiming Millennial students. So far I am planning integration with some education institues here in Singapore in pre-university and university (17-24yrs). Once our Alpha is successful, a few have indicated to integrate with their classes to boost student's motivation to learn.
Adaptive learning (i actually had to google it) seems like a part of where we are going. We are also trying to make it social by bringing online to offline. For example, instead of you having to hunt for people with similar interests, the platform is a auto-matching for people who have similar interest as you. In games we have a concept of LFM or LFG (looking for members/group): Exactly the same concept.

You seem like into learning yourself! Is this your domain of expertise?


Yes token will be used to buy more challenges, unlock cool stuff. The tokens can also be used as an "experience-booster pack" which can give a 10-20% bonus of XP for each completion of challenge (which will psychologically make them want to learn more). Or they could form teams with the tokens and ask friends within the network to crowd-source tasks. For example, a team can form and want to build a blockchain-powered cafe (which could be a challenge itself). They can gather help within their immediate 'friend list' who may have skilsets around design.. accounting, f&b and others.

There's a lot of possibilities! One of the final aims is to really give more insights over what your friends want to do and achieve (not just mindless endless loops on current social networks)

Yes I get that part but what platform are your targeting ? To simplify it further,what exactly are you trying to teach the millennials ? Is it the tech or general school subjects in a fancier way ?  Does the project actively promotes adaptive learning ?

That sounds great ! What are the rewards on successful completion of the program ? The token will be the virtual currency used on the platform to buy more challenges or unlock other cool stuff right ?

Thanks for your feedback. Yes it's EdTech. I will certainly take a look at how the infographic can be sharper and clearer, and fix that by this weekend.

Here "putting the education into esports" refers the concept of edu-gaming. Closer to a world of warcraft (therefore esports) in education: Where the campaign / storyline is linked towards what trends are happening in the future. The goal is to help Millennial students go through a method of learning that is more fun, more engaging and self-motivational. The platform aims to reduce the barrier to entry to self-discover passion, and create towards their goals.

Yes people will login, solve questions/challenges set out by the platform, and unlock special tasks / skills that allow the ability to help each other (goodwill), and through that earn tokens between each other. An example of a challenge could be :"build the first quantum computer" which the system will outline the skills needed for that, eg quantum physics, engineering which will push the users to complete tasks around the topics and gain levels.

Our Alpha will be ready next few weeks so hopefully that will be clearer by then.

Here's the whitepaper that has been drafted:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1u33oN85MMQ-YX2wfAlIQp-9EpJuk7DA3

If I understand it correctly,is this kinda of an Ed-Tech venture ? Sorry but your info-graphic is hard to follow.I also don't get the idea of Education into E-Sports when you have used terms like "Future" & "Internet of Things".Maybe you could link us to a white paper of something ? The end product would be an app or something where people can login and solve questions etc ?

Here's a post about the vision for the platform!

https://medium.com/soqqle/our-vision-for-soqqle-decentralized-tokenized-learning-6f334dc188e1

Hi everyone!

I would like to introduce a cool new education game that helps Millennials better prepare for the future through a challenge-driven task system to make learning fun.

We are looking for educators, students who are keen to participate.
