Do you believe in social learning in RuNet?

Recently an idea was born to create a project for social learning. This is something like a wikipedia for a student - where he (the student) can post his lectures, helping other students, and at the same time making money on it. And he can also download lectures on his course - having spent a little of his finances (virtual loans).
The project includes lectures, a list of teachers with reviews and photos (this will help some, at least to know the name of the teacher, and not to address with “hey you”). So far, the project covers only the main universities in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Belarus. A total of 90 universities.
Everything is written in Ruby on Rails, the well-known bootstrap is taken as the basis for styles. The project is currently in the alpha stage - because. just rolls around. The idea is not new, because there are analogues, but only for foreign students. In the vastness of Runet there is something similar, only, in all this there is no structure as a fact. And to search for your lectures, you can spend a lot of time and find nothing.

Answer 1

The idea is not bad, but there are a few but...
I think that the rating of teachers is absolutely inappropriate, and the criteria indicated above are absurd.
Particularly pleased with the criterion "Usefulness". Do you really think that the student is competent enough to evaluate how useful this or that teacher is? Maybe a freshman will appreciate? They don't have their heads full yet, do they?
The fact that the teacher is employed within the university / institute is an indicator of his usefulness!
Otherwise, why is it needed there?
About the other two criteria, I will say that the correlation between them is absolutely obvious. It's clear that the clearer the explanation, the easier the understanding! It's just that the explanation depends on the teacher, and the understanding depends on the student.
And now, judging by the marks in the picture above, we can conclude that even though the teacher explained the subject for 2, the student still dodged and secured the material for a C grade. Is that how it works?
But what is the "purity of explanation" - I still do not understand!
Looks like all my teachers were useless.

Answer 2

Usually such projects work if it is possible to interact with educational institutions. And in our country it is not always possible.

Answer 3

What does it mean? 3,2,3 - 3 - Great?

Answer 4

The design is terrible, the idea is good and interesting, the implementation is so-so, the name is stupid. And they write to you rightly, the assessment of teachers should be removed, since three-point students and lazybones are unlikely to be able to evaluate objectively.
Screw on the ability to exchange / trade solutions to problems or something. Or Wikipedia on different types of problems and how to solve them.
Also, a person who writes "that is" together, and "underline" instead of "handwriting", must be deprived of cookies for a week. Perhaps then he will be better able to realize the gravity of his act.
