OPEN SOURCE UNIVERSITY PLATFORM

The OS.University decentralized platform bridges the gap between businesses and education through blockchain (used for validating and verifying learners’ credentials) and smart contracts (managing content purchases, marketplace transactions and hiring processes). The platform brings transparency between BUSINESS,ACADEMIA AND LEARNERS. Aimed to address actual significant problems for businesses,learners and the educational system by introducing their Distributed Application Platform. Open Source University platform also provides the "digital credentials wallet" as a service to the learners/users without any limits to what universities, fields of studies or courses they choose. It also enables them to find the best learning & career development opportunities by getting connected to Academia and Businesses.

OS University platform is providing a global solution to revolutionize the way people from various places around the world learn, develop, progress and succeed in life. The vision of the Open Source University is ensure every one gets good and quality education to promote lifelong learning,for donations to be in the form of free education paid by business and organizations,while the educational system will reap financial benefits based on rate and successful candidates. The Open Source University make this possible by making education cheap and affordable,reducing the workload of third parties and preserved,store and secure candidates academic achievements,certifications,and provide traceability of allcertificates. This makes them trustworthy and easy for automatic distribution to all business and organizations.

L2B Smart Contract;
The Open Source University blockchain is used as a distributed database to store learner certifications & acquired skills. Matching algorithm will handle big data calculations to connect businesses with the right candidates, optimising recruitment costs, sourcing time and precision.

L2A Smart Contract;
Learners have all their degree credits safely stored into the blockchain, allowing them to pick their career paths via course suggestion algorithm based on live data business needs (and skill demand projection) and providing access to a flexible, fast track education model.

B2A Smart Contract;
Allows businesses to access a new generation of Learning & Development marketplace, where learning content providers are filtered based on their disciplines catalogue and academic rating (both stored in the blockchain), while payments are securely managed by smart contracts eliminating the need of middleman transaction processing.
All that could be done by the business/organization is to pay the Academia which will give them great opportunity to teach top talented successful candidate. High quality education to be provided by the Academia will increase exponentially along with the increasing financial benefit from business. Through these processes,business will have a talented pool of qualified learners from which they can hire the right candidate via the B2L smart contract.

TOKEN AND ICO DETAILS

Open Source University are introducing also their EDU TOKEN a formally as a secured asset platform

This Tokens will be stored in a private wallets which needs to be ERC 20 compliant. Small amount of EDU tokens will be distributed into the blockchain in order to boost the benefits .
However,this may be useful to us specially for the students learners who may gain more skills though the Open source in this EDU TOKEN.

The team behind OS University are getting ready to start the ICO for their EDU token. This will initially serve to fund the project and see it through to an end product. It seems the token may also be a way for learners to pay for their courses, offering a crypto-for-knowledge trade that I myself am pretty excited about. The token will be sold in multiple rounds, the earliest providing the best ROI. If you’ve got some extra Ether and want to get in on the ICO, you can get whitelisted here. Only 34.8 million tokens will be distributed, and they will be tradable just like any other ERC20 token.
