Potentially a market-leader in digital education provision, but there's a few drawbacks...

BitDegree is a decentralized, fully-online education platform that provides users the opportunity to partake in a variety of courses. These can vary from Game Development, Programming Languages, Blockchain & Marketing, and with the recent "Gamificaiton" element of the platform added in, you can earn experience & rewards from each course that you complete and can grow your profile. In the immediate future, I believe BitDegree are looking to grow a Talent Acquisition Platform where employers can proactively seek prospective job candidates through the platform.
﻿
With the increasingly digital age we are living in, there is definitely a market for a decentralized education application and BitDegree is attracting thousands of prospective "students" to the platform. Regular updates and good social media connection definitely indicate that BitDegree are attempting to become the market-leaders in digital education provision.
﻿
The only negatives I have with BitDegree is that the paid courses are rather expensive (not entirely their fault, as the instructors are who set the price), but cheaper courses would definitely attract more students and growth in the platform. The free courses that they offer are few and far between and with their interface right now, there is no option to search for only the free courses. Also, at the minute the BDG Token is a rather redundant feature and I'm not sure how/why it exists. It has absolutely crashed in value, and as far as I am aware the BitDegree ICO was simply proxy scam in order to raise funds.
