Ecosystem Overview
Online content creators and educators have become a global phenomenon that requires a global solution. The e-learning vertical alone is expected to reach approximately $325 Billion within the next decade. The established e-learning trends in the marketplace are focused on categories such as programming; cybersecurity; gaming; cloud-based solutions; corporate MOOCs (massive open online courses); design; digital marketing; innovations in wearable technologies and learning management systems. As the growth continues, the top venture capital investment firms continue to invest heavily in e-learning platforms and businesses.


The Problems
First, how content creators get paid inconsistently and inadequately is a problem - particularly in the e-learning ecosystem. Currently, a content creator has namely two options to receive compensation for their services, either through an advertisement-sharing model or through a membership model.

Second, the e-learning landscape has been infiltrated with service providers that charge a substantial amount of fees and transaction costs. These costs typically range from 10% to 45%, which the service provider keeps. The fee schedule associated with the available processing providers is complex. YouTube and Facebook’s new "Watch tab" feature pays out only 55% of advertisement revenue of a creator’s content. While Google does not disclose what it pays, its AdSense partners' forums estimate that partners make between $0.001 and $0.005 a click - depending on what type of ads they run. This not only makes content creators' income low and consistently undefined, but it also makes income unreliable. The current payment environment makes it difficult for content creators' to generate substantial income.

Third, In order to generate income from online platforms, content creators and educators have moved to a membership format where they are paid a recurring monthly amount for content. Creators have searched for the ability to unlock alternative revenue streams through subscriptions and recurring patronage. “Lots of creators are relying on an ad-supported model,” said Patreon VP of data science and operations Carlos Cabrera during a recent interview with Variety. “That model is broken.” Therefore, educators have become heavily reliant on third-party payment processors like PayPal, membership-based platforms like Patreon and major credit networks.

Fourth, content creators have become heavily reliant on credit cards, third-party payment processors like PayPal, membership-based platforms like Patreon and direct-platform payment models like Lynda to process payments. As a result of this reliance and lack of payment processing alternatives, these content creators are paying substantial fees per transaction.

2. Proof of Creation (POC) allowing creators to fully own their content; analogous to copyrighting (2018)

Love the concept of education leveraging the blockchain. When will ACAD be listed on exchanges?

[psihotoc]

Dev why so many virus in the wallet?

[academycoin]

psihotoc thanks for bringing this up as well. We've received a few reports about an issue with our Windows wallet.

To be safe, we will be removing it for now to inspect the issue. Both Linux and OSX wallets are safe to download and Windows will be back up shortly.

Thanks for the support! 

Please feel free to DM us on Slack with any questions moving forward.

[Vivisector999]

albanes thanks for bringing this to our attention. We've had a few reports of a similar issue today with the windows wallet. To be safe we have removed the windows wallet link for now.

Both OSX and Linux are safe to download and we'll update this thread when windows is live again.

Thanks for the support!

[academycoin]

Great question! We're going to be listed on two smaller exchanges (announcing in November) and in January 2018 ACAD will be listed on 5 crypto-exchanges.

Reach out to us on slack with any questions

education is a very valid area for the personal advancement in life. combining it with crypto could be a option but i am still very sceptical

[Henisusan]

ICO project concept of education, good job Dev, this platform is very important for the students and educators. Good luck.

[academycoin]

AmoreJaz great feedback!

One of the most important aspects to AcademyCoin is the private blockchain supporting it. Going beyond online education payments, we have features in the pipeline like "proof of creation" allowing course creators to fully own their coursework, and potentially even sell rights to it.

Feel free to DM us on our slack channel to discuss details about the roadmap

[Lipe490]

Education is a really area cryptos should be invested. I am glad to see that happening. Is there a link for the team? I didnt see in the post.
Thanks!

[academycoin]

Thanks Henisusan

We're excited about "proof of creation" and the other features we've been developing for both educators and students. Education is such an important industry and our blockchain is positioned to drastically improve the experience for educators and students.

Also - join the conversation on our Slack channel

Hi Lipe490,

If you open the Whitepaper, you can see all the members of the team.

[2bfree]

Can't educators accept payment with one of the other 1000 coins?

[BLACKCOIN883]

Can't educators accept payment with one of the other 1000 coins?

I think that the idea of this is to also create a network of content, not just a network of educators.

[academycoin]

Thanks for the question 2bfree. Payments are only the first feature to the AC blockchain." Proof of Creation" is the next feature we're deploying to allow educators to fully own their coursework. Effectively copyrighting (protecting) their material with hashes in our transactions. This creates a network of content on the blockchain. Thanks for the support!
