<u>SUCCESS IN THE SHORT-TERM (6 months)</u>

A community of content producers, editors, instructional designers, assessors, and teachers collaborating to improve their own practices.

The first cohort of educational resources will be available to all teachers in Brazil.

The quality of the content will match our principles.

Positive impact in the community of teachers involved in the production and distribution of the resources.

<u>SUCCESS IN THE MID-TERM (1 year)</u>

To gain visibility in the educational media and among teachers from different parts of Brazil.

We will achieve funding to evolve to Phase 2 and to continue the production of open educational resources.

<u>SUCCESS IN THE LONG-TERM (2-3 years)</u>

To evolve as a platform with open and high-quality content for educators in Spanish and Portuguese.

To be positioned as a platform that reaches teachers who are looking for ways to innovate, learn and teach contemporary themes, but have limited offers for professional development.

To have a full operating system in which the payments are made on the Cardano blockchain through automatization of smart contracts, and the digital educational resources are converted into NFTs. This system will work through decentralized governance, pretty much like Catalyst (but with a focus on open educational resources).

<u>ROADMAP</u>

In months

1st: We establish the pool of collaborators (teachers, researchers, editors, assessors, and designers), align and start the production of educational resources.

2nd: Follow up the production of each resource with weekly meetings. (Coordination, authors, and designers)

3rd: We have the first version of the 11 educational resources and run the community assessment (teachers create, different teachers assess). Partial payments are made here.

4th: We return resources to authors and designers, so they can make improvements based on the assessment stage.

5th: Authors conclude final adjustments, designers as well and they start loading the platform.

6th: We release the platform and work on the communication and dissemination. We will be actively engaged in our network of teachers and educational media to expand our audience. Final payments are made here

<u>KPIS</u>

  1. 11 units of educational resources offered online.
  2. Number of teachers and students impacted by the platform's content.
  3. To establish a pool of teachers, content producers and validators to the initial content. (Minimum 20 collaborators).
  4. At least 5 thousand unique access on the page after 6 months of public release.
  5. Public dashboard controlling all the stages, goals, and accomplishments of the project.
  6. Overall quality assessments made by teachers who were using the content to learn (they will be invited to evaluate).
  7. Completion of phase 1 with all deliverables.
  8. Structure to submit a proposal to develop phase 2.

<u>AUDITABILITY</u>

We will provide public information about each step on our website. Every step (ADA transfers, deliveries, assessment, deadline, and progress) will be presented using a dashboard made with Google Data Studio.

Beyond that, every resource will be released under an open-source license (for non-commercial use) and can be accessed by anyone.

<u>BUDGET</u>

Products:

$1500,00 allocated to each educational resource. Description:

$800.00 – Content elaboration (teachers and researchers)

$200.00 – Editing (Editors)

$100.00 – Assessment (Like the CA's role in Catalyst)

$400.00 – Instructional design (Web designers)

11 Educational resources x $1500,00 = $16.500,00

Communication kits:

$500,00

Human resources:

Executive coordination

25 hours/week during 6 months = 600 hours. Tasks: Implementation and executive coordination of the educational resources production; communication activities; dashboard updates; and website elaboration. $20,00/hour x 600 hours = $12.000,00

Total budget required: $29.000,00 USD ($16.500,00 + $500,00 + $12.000,00)
