What is dTeach?

dTeach is a virtual platform and worldwide community, that incentivized by remuneration via smart contracts within the quality assuring process, empowers educational practitioners, designers, and researchers to create, revise, test, evaluate, and publish top-notch and quality assured Open Educational Resources (OER). dTeach aims to form a collective of educational content creators to drive innovation in education and improve the quality of open educational resources through a decentralized quality assuring process and fair renumeration.

What makes dTeach special?

• We create clusters of collaborative productions enriched by the contributions of researchers from multiple disciplines.

• We are aware of and avoid ethnocentric biases, as well as homogenizing discourses in teacher education and educational content creation.

• Every payment is public for consultation, as well as every product/content created. 100% transparency ensured by blockchain technology.

• The productions can be simultaneously anchored in several platforms so that the ownership of the content is shared.

• We position educators as content producers/exporters and not as consumers of foreign innovation.

• We work with multiple partners and minimize biases

• We don't rely on the bureaucratic institutions such as universities or ministries of education to access teachers, as philanthropic institutions usually do.

• Freedom of speech – we have ability to bring questions regardless of sponsors’ biases.

• Teachers are empowered, have voice and recognition.

• Diversity of innovative educational content - we cover from blockchain to pedagogic themes and explain complex topics with clarity.

• We keep the school informed about contemporary themes.

• With the system, we support both teachers and researchers in their profession.

• We decentralize resources. Therefore, we don't give the money to those who already have enough political and economic capital.
