Our long-term vision is a community-driven social learning platform that allows its users to generate passive income while learning and growing in the areas of their lives that excite them the most.[/mpc_timeline_item][/mpc_timeline_basic]
SkillStart.io is an a community-driven interactive social learning platform utilizing the concept of the “Learn to Earn” model to incentivize student learning and improved course completion. We are a place for course creators to connect with their audience and a place for people to earn crypto-currency for improving skills and engaging in personal development activities.
[/mpc_accordion_tab][mpc_accordion_tab title=”What is the problem SkillStart.io is solving?”]
Many people do not finish online courses after they purchase them. Not only does this mean people are wasting money on courses they will never complete, but it also means that those people will never acquire the skills they set out to acquire.
It is projected that only 15% of people finish online courses. That’s pretty terrible. Course creators are trying to share the knowledge they have amassed over their lives and the audience is increasingly often, not being engaged enough to follow through with the modules.
We seek to improve online learning course completion rates by doing 3 things:
Incentivize learning through the idea of the “Learn to Earn” model.
Allow students to interact with Instructors for guidance or emphasis.
Introduce security and accountability by hosting the project on the blockchain.
[/mpc_accordion_tab][mpc_accordion_tab title=”Who are the SkillStart.io team?”]
The project was conceptualized by Shane Skinner and Lauren Davis.
Shane is an eLearning course creator, business leader, and United States Army veteran.
Lauren is a Yale graduate with a BSA in Political Science and an MBA from Denver University in Business Administration.
[/mpc_accordion_tab][mpc_accordion_tab title=”Why does the eLearning market need SkillStart.io?”]
The eLearning market is not designed in such a way currently as to incentivize the modern online learner.
Our time is valuable and we need to constantly be deciding what is the best use of that time.
Students will value their time spent learning more if there is a financial incentive involved.
Not only are they learning a new skill or topic but they are passively earning crypto-currency while they do it!
Instructors upload their course material and it is converted into an NFT.
Students can then purchase the course as an NFT in the marketplace.
Upon course completion, the student is awarded an “Achievement NFT”.
The “Achievement NFT” transfers a percentage of SKIL tokens to the student for every new student that purchases the course.
This allows the students to become affiliates and earn a commission on course sales going forward. If they like a course, they can earn money by referring others to it.
All users may stake SKIL tokens to earn additional SKIL token payouts generated by the fees associated with network transactions.
[/mpc_accordion_tab][mpc_accordion_tab title=”How do I join the SkillStart network?”]
No worries!
(COMING SOON)
Just register for a free account to get started and gain access to:
an advanced Social Media Network,
a revolutionary “Learn to Earn” eLearning platform,
an innovative NFT course-creator marketplace,
the ability to earn and stake crypto-currency from your phone or PC.
[/mpc_accordion_tab][mpc_accordion_tab title=”What are the key advantages to SkillStart over other platforms?”]
SkillStart is leading innovation in the eLearning space by bringing it to the blockchain. By working on the Polygon (MATIC) blockchain we have the ability to turn ordinary courses into NFTs that contain rewards for completion.
This incentivizes students to complete courses that they purchase, leading to a much more engaging experience and further improving learning and retention.
When a course is successfully completed the student is issued an “Accomplishment” NFT.
This “Accomplishment” NFT generates a small percentage of SKIL Tokens for its owner every time another user purchases the same NFT course module. (This incentivizes users to promote their favorite courses or creators.)
SKIL can be staked on the blockchain to earn passive crypto-currency!
SKIL can be traded on a DEX.
[/mpc_accordion_tab][mpc_accordion_tab title=”How do I purchase SKIL tokens?”]
A complete series of instructions are coming soon to make the process of buying SKIL tokens as seamless as possible.
[/mpc_accordion_tab][mpc_accordion_tab title=”What exchanges list SKIL tokens?”]
Currently, SkillStart.io is in its private sale phase.
The full functionality of the token and smart contract associated with it is still in development.
As of this writing, SKIL tokens are not listed in any exchange.
Once the public ICO has been completed SKIL tokens will be listed on many decentralized exchanges.
SkillStart.io also has plans of developing its own Decentralized exchange called SkilSwap.
[/mpc_accordion_tab][mpc_accordion_tab title=”When do the SKIL tokens go on sale?”]
The pre-launch Private Token Sale goes live on December 14th, 2021!
We are offering SKIL tokens at a rate of 1 SKIL / $0.01 USD (with additional early adopter privileges).
This will be the only time SKIL Tokens will be sold to the public at this price.
The Private Sale consists of 151,501,501 available SKIL Tokens.
