Contest for the best intro video of a Go teacher

Announcements

Hey Go teachers!

On 26th May 2024 there are already 32 Go teachers registered at the platform for booking online Go lessons.

However, very few of them added their intro videos that are visible at the list of teachers for individual lessons.

The students are asking about good quality intro videos, so here is an additional motivation for you to add the intro videos to your profiles - the contest for the best intro video of a Go teacher :slight_smile:

Details of the contest:

Each student who gives a vote, will get a 1 EUR voucher, which can be added to the student’s wallet and used for any Go lessons booked through polgote.

And the students who voted on top-3 teachers (who got the most votes) will also take part in the lottery for the vouchers of the following amount:

1st place: 10 vouchers of 100 EUR (for students who voted on the teacher who was 1st by the number of votes)

2nd place: 5 vouchers of 100 EUR (for students who voted on the teacher who was 2nd by the number of votes)

3rd place: 3 vouchers of 100 EUR (for students who voted on the teacher who was 3rd by the number of votes)

The students who get the vouchers, will be able to use them for any Go lessons booked through polgote (however - a question to the teachers - if a student gets a voucher by voting on you, with whom such a student will most likely take the lessons?)

The places will be decided by the number of votes given by Go students registered at polgote.

Each teacher, at their own profile, at any time, can have one visible intro video in each language they offer Go lessons.

The requirements for the videos are written in the “Create an offer of individual lessons” → “Introduction video” tab at the “Teacher’s profile” on polgote.

Only students who registered and activated their profile on polgote (by submitting student’s information in “Settings”) before 16th June will be able to vote.

On 17th June the registered students will get the instruction of how they can submit their vote.

The possibility of submitting votes will be possible until 23rd June 2024.

On 24th June the results will be published, the lottery made and the vouchers distributed to the students.

Off topic, but are the sorting functions broken? I tried sorting by “Average Rating” both Ascebding and Descending, and the list doesn’t change.

I would also suggest sorting by quality by default (some combination of rating and activity)

Thank you for your feedback!

Yes, sorting by average rating at the list of individual lessons is broken.
Hopefully will be improved soon.
Sorting by other things currently should be working well.

Oh didn’t know this site was already live! I thought previously it failed because of the lack of funding or something

Crowdfunding failed, but the platform was funded from private sources.
