We know everyone is eager to understand how this whole system works and it was not easy to implement everything, but we did it. The reward system we have created is robust and will serve to benefit everyone involved with growing the platform (Students, Educators & STEEM Developers). --- --- # The Students Prospective students of steemdevelopers.io will need to sign up if they want to become students of a particular program. Initially sign ups for our courses will be limited to 15 students per course. This will give educators the room to educate without having so many students to handle. And it will be easier for us to control the flow of students and get this project off of the ground. The sign-ups will be on a first come first serve basis, but sign ups will happen about every 3 to 4 weeks after ever course block is finished. There will also be a 100 SBD tuition fee needed from people who want to enroll. Of course the 100 SBD is fully recoupable while a student is taking his/her course, so the 100 SBD isn't really a tuition its more like what we like to call a "flake out clause". We want to ensure that every student we enroll is serious about completing the program and that no one flakes out on us or themselves. So as a sign of good faith we are asking for the 100 SBD tuition fee. Please refer to the flowchart for a better understanding of how student rewards will work. https://steemitimages.com/DQmdmu1vhY1Dn2H6B8cvtR7VcT7XHxBfj2ZqWLEHMg3aF6T/Student%20POV.png ### Student Checklist - Enrollment (100 SBD) - Posts course work to be graded - Rewarded for assignments, projects & exams (delegated sp, upvotes) - Weekly grade average rewards (A - 30SBD, B - 20SBD, C - 10SBD, D - 5SBD , F - 0SBD) --- --- # The Educators We have already received a very good response to professionals who wish to become educators. On our platform educators will come up with their own curriculum that suits their particular field of expertise. There will also be a educator think tank for educators to talk amongst themselves and help each other with creating curriculum. Once the course material is created the educator(s) will then submit the course to us (STEEM Developers) and we will be responsible for posting the course material. Educators will be paid 10SBD per student that enrolls in their cours. Additionally educators will receive 50% of the payouts on the posted course material. Educators will also be responsible for grading the students on their exams and projects. https://steemitimages.com/DQmRVDSMRt6P6zDzac7kzttGmYoqMCLeBfp921aU6MynGpi/Educator_POV.png ### Educator Checklist - Creates course material - Rewarded 10SBD per student enrolled in course (max 15) - Rewarded 50% of course material post payout - Responsible for grading exams and projects --- --- # STEEMDevelopers Our mission is to connect educators and students on a platform where they both can earn money for their time and effort. For our project to continually be successful we will make sure that all the content that is created is stamped with our approval. All the course material given to us will be looked over and reviewed for quality assurance to ensure that every student who enrolls is receiving the highest quality of education we can offer. Educators will send in their course materials, and STEEM Developers will receive 50% of the post payouts on all course material. We will also be responsible for upvoting and rewarding students and educators posts and comments (delegated SP). https://steemitimages.com/DQmacp3XQXcSTemYVqDNhJef1fN2MFEVRFpHAoND5ABqhR8/Admin%20POV.png ### STEEM Developers Checklist - Connecting educators and students - Receive and post course material for students - Upvoting student and educator posts and comments - Rewarded 50% of course material post payout --- --- # Summary There you have the rewarding system and how everyone will benefit from this. We have worked very hard on creating this system so to discourage anyone who is not truly invested in higher education. If you are a true educator or someone who is passionate about learning new things then this will be the place for you. We are hoping to grow the community around this project and we need more people who are interested in becoming educators. So far we have 7 people interested in only 2 days! Which is a great start. This project is happening, and we thank everyone for supporting what we're trying to do. If you have any questions about how this reward system works, please leave a comment. # Donating We are looking for sponsorship in the form of delegated SP from a steemian who stands behind what we're trying to do. If you are interested in helping us grow this project, please contact steemdevelopers@gmail.com.
