As a teacher, my mother is always busy finding interesting materials and games to appeal the smart kids that are not easy to impress. Each day a new lesson to be taught and a new approach to be put forth to let the chapter seep into their minds. Often when she discusses the school activities with me, I realize that loads and loads of opportunities are there to integrate fun and activities but it is almost the case with every class that in a race to complete the syllabus many inefficiencies are created. Lack of interest on part of students, lack of attention on part of teachers, the variability of learning approaches of each mind often leads to boredom, ambiguity, and inequalities. The solution is the same for all- personalized and customized way of learning for each mind grasps things at a different speed and uses different analogies to affect their knowledge. Regular schooling miserably failed and now these institutions are taking help from professionally designed learning programs catering to the intellectual level of young minds.
Still, issues run deep for the tutors and content creators whose hard work is never acknowledged. What better than to present the question to the greatest answer of the century - THE BLOCKCHAIN.
BITSCHOOL is an e-Learning project based on adaptive technology, artificial intelligence, and blockchain. It aims to maximize the effectiveness of education through personalized learning solution(PLS), create powerful incentives through blockchain based intellectual property system and provide scholarships to provide learning affordability through the GoGreenFund.
BitSchool will revolutionize not only WHAT we teach but HOW we teach.
~ Tom Ku, BitSchool's CEO
The project already has a strong network of 3000+ teachers and schools in the UK and international members such as Canada, Australia, and The US. The future plan includes entering into partnerships with education ministries in these countries and markets to expand the coverage of PLS system.
It boasts of a stronghold through partnerships such as Entercube a smart test solution company, TechBridge for young coding aspirants, CAFA lab Inc. - a leading US R&D institute and many more.
Salient Features:
- ADAPTIVE ASSESSMENT APP- The beta version of the app is already functional on bitschool.io. The app is innovatively structured to gauge the understanding and progress of learners. It is being currently tested by two GCSE schools in the UK and has received positive feedback from the users.
SMART TEST SOLUTION is a combination of the three - automated test solution, a learning solution and a performance evaluation dashboard. The solution has video and voice integration facilities, multi or grouped test takers and much more. It will be sold to educational institutions, companies, and governmental organization and is currently being functional in Korea.
The future BitSchool model
PLC through consolidation of the above two. PLS assessment to assess understanding, PLS learning practice through adaptive mock tests. PLS test as fully automated exams and marking schemes. On-demand tutor to address knowledge gaps for a particular problem or question.
Blockchain-based paid per use (PPU) will help educational content creators to track their content transactions. PPU will hence act as the ever-evolving brain of the platform with a guarantee of rights for the content creators.
GoGreenFund's token scholarship will incentivize deserving students irrespective of their background. It will also work towards providing stability.
Further infrastructure to store certificates and test/exams result on the platform.

The tokens right now have a limited scope of their feasibility within the platform itself. It visions to cater the masses with numerous tests, classes, tutors and content creators. It will operate as a fully functional ecosystem. Users are already giving positive feedback. The project is more a social and learning portal and hence may attract investors with the same outlook and interests. Early discounts and bonuses are available to those interested in the venture.
