ExamGuide - exam past questions video tutorial on Ocean

Name of Project: ExamGuide - exam past questions video tutorial on Ocean.

Proposal in one sentence

A web, desktop, and mobile-based CBT examination preparatory and testing platform, with a vision to help candidates excel in all major examinations in West Africa.

Description of the project and what problem is it solving:

We are creating a computer-based examination preparatory and testing platform to help solve the problems stated below:

  1. With the increasing shift of examinations in west Africa moving to computer-based tests, some students/candidates tend to fail because the lectures are largely taught traditionally and students are unable to practice or prepare for the examinations in the method they will write for the examinations.

  2. Though there are a lot of offline tutorial sections to prepare the candidate, this process is redundant as the instructors tend to continually repeat the same lectures, also the students are unable to assess these lectures after being taught except the note they took at the time the lecture was presented.

Grant Deliverables: (Provide us with a check-boxed list of deliverables for the funding provided.)

  • Technical design of the project with complete user flows, wireframes.
  • Project landing pages to include key CTA, Project description, and other important guest pages.
  • Whitelist activation campaigns and Social Media / Community activation efforts.

Which category best describes your project? Pick one.

Build/improve applications or integrations to Ocean.

Are you applying for an Earmark? Pick one.

New Project.

What is the final product?:

Our final product is a web, desktop, and mobile-based CBT examination product where instructors can upload short past examination video tutorials, which students can access at a cost by watching online or downloading offline for later consumption, while the instructor gets paid based on the number of views on their content, as well as, the candidate will be able to do mock examinations which will be similar to the way they will write the CBT examination.

Here is possible “value add” criteria?:

Usage of Ocean: Since we are building an application that allows instructors to produce short video tutorials, we will fork the Ocean marketplace to allow an exchange of value. Being able to allow reusability of the recorded tutorials and with the advantage of privacy and security, the instructors will be more than happy to switch to our approach, which in turn will push the candidates into the platform.

Funding Requested: 2700 USD
