The idea of DISCIPLINA: how it originated

The DISCIPLINA project has made significant progress and continues to develop. Today, we would like to recall how it all began.

A few years ago, Ilya Nikiforov, the company founder, was travelling along the West Coast of the United States. He decided to take surfing courses and started to search for the most suitable ones online. Having spent considerable time, Ilya faced the issue of fragmented information, since there was no single resource where one could find any course they need. He decided to take its development into his own hands — that is how the TeachMePlease marketplace was created.

Analyzing the education situation and working on the project development, it has become clear that there are a lot of other critical issues to be resolved, including the invalidity of post-course certificates and the low value of academic education. Young people enroll in university to get a diploma, seeing no direct correlation between their education and further career development. It thus causes a lack of trust by employers and recruiters in the candidates’ qualifications — if someone studies just to check the box, it is unlikely that they will become a qualified specialist.

Ilya has realized that creating a single resource is not enough, and it is necessary to create something that will make quality changes in the spheres of education and recruiting. Thus, the TeachMePlease team decided to create its own blockchain to generate a unified profile of verified academic and professional achievements and qualifications.

That is how the story of the DISCIPLINA blockchain project began. We will provide more details on its development in our upcoming posts.

Stay tuned!

DISCIPLINA interaction with TeachMePlease

We have already told you that the first project to implement the DISCIPLINA blockchain will be TeachMePlease. It began as a convenient tool for the structured presentation of data and a system of reliable ratings and reviews with an effective infrastructure and blockchain technology built into the platform. However, during the development process, it became clear that the existing blockchain solutions are unsuitable for the planned functionality. Thus, TeachMePlease has partnered with a team of experts to create a blockchain that would both be up to their own standards and become a universal solution for any educational or HR-service. TeachMePlease currently provides the conditions for efficient and effective cooperation between academic institutions and private tutors, and their students. The project has no territorial borders, which allows schools and private tutors from around the world to offer their programs to potential students anywhere on the planet. Integrating DISCIPLINA wi

DISCIPLINA and Federal Service for Supervision in Education and Science

The DISCIPLINA team continues to develop the project and establish partnerships. One of the events that have contributed to the project development is Ilya Nikiforov’s recent participation in the working group on research in the sphere of education and implementation of BIG DATA approaches for the needs of the education system of the Russian Federation. The working group is directed by the Federal Service for Supervision in Education and Science and consists of civil servants, which makes the DISCIPLINA project the only representative of the business sphere. This is a significant event, since it helps us take a step closer towards achieving the main goal of DISCIPLINA - making quality changes in the spheres of education and recruitment.
