DevelopTomorrow - E-Learning

[seniorJOSH]

I find it funny how the new 'business partner' has the cheek to insult some members on the forum, some of which could probably code better than he can, create better graphics than both of them and run a business properly.

Rather than insulting people I actually think you should listen to what they are saying and try to learn from it. Everyone makes mistakes, it just depends on whether you choose to learn from them or continue to ignorantly dismiss them.

I quite agree there, you claim to be a professional public relations, (as everyhting else) but you insult people (aswell as Matt)

I beg to differ, the OCR Nationals course is based entirely online and presented in the medium that you are proposing in your business plan, being in an existing education enviroment in totally irrelevant.

Not only that, but as you stressed in your business plan, your target market is "young adults aged between 12 - 21", and only in extreme cases do not have access to an approved course in ICT (e.g. OCR Nationals or GNVQ), that not only offer a structured curriculum to develop the necessary skills for a future in ICT, but offer the GCSEs/A-Levels to back it.

I believe you need to take a step back, have a look where this project is heading, taking all things in to consideration, make a balanced risk assessment.

To your above post, I have now lost all faith in this project, you public relation skills are appauling and your total lack of business ethics have put this project on a path to nowhere.

OCR Nationals is not purely online, as I study it in my ICT lessons for GCSE levels.

I apologise for my partner's behaviour, however it is no like him to be like this.

If its not like him to be like this then what has caused it. I personally can't see anything bad coming along in this thread compared to some of the things you will be faced when setting up and running the site.

If you guys do get your act together, start been more mature then I sincerely hope it works for you.

[seniorJOSH]

I think it's to do with me, even though he said it was sorted on msn. :rolleyes:


Anyway, goodluck to the project.

This is quite funny.

You're not going to make it anywhere, this site is an idea which has been done, and a lot better then you can achieve.

Plus, it will only be for the UK, and any country with 'ICT' and GSCE's, not America..

A site that you plan on being 'this big' will not stand a chance just being for one country only, as the idea of IT courses is much bigger then just the UK alone.

If you want to make it big, you need to support the biggest countries, with the biggest number of people in your demographic region.

Your partner has the never to come on here and be rude? No matter what was said he/she shouldn't have even opened his/her mouth...

The mature thing to do was keep their mouth closed and let you handle it, like the mature 'boy' to do, instead of calling in your 'reinforcements', in this case your 'partner'

I think he has reacted in such a way, because he can see this project has potential to be a success, and is annoyed with guys such as yourselves placing this project on the bottom of the scrap pile.

Matt has never been a fan of this forum, and I understand. He did advise me not to post here, however I thought that users would have a more mature and positive outlook to this project and what it has to offer.

I am also confused in how someone in this threads seems to know about my business plan, when it has only been sent to my sponsor and my partner.

Denta, I can see this being open to all countries, as it is an online product. At no point have we aimed this at online a UK audience. I also did not 'call in my reinforcements', I just notified him on the thread.

Products implies cash, you're going to be charging people?

You saw what we have said about your 10000 other projects, so why would you think this one would be any different?

It is just as bad as an idea as HostSuite, and it will go in the same direction.

Your 'partner' will soon see the real side of you, and abandon all development.

@ The last sentance @

ICT is not in America, GSCE's are not in America, we are not tested on these things. So there is no point for an American to be studying these, other then to learn more about technology.

So why not just make an all around tutorial/interactive web studying site for IT.

[DarrenToogood]

At our due release date of September 2008, we will NOT be charging our users, and will be making our income via advertisements.

As the products develop and we introduce new systems to our existing systems, we will be looking to charge for more developed courses, and courses which will be opened later in the year, such as Photography and Media. Not all courses will be charged, and any charges that are applied will be affordable for all.

Interactive CDs will also be charged.

Hostsuite did fail, because a lack of coders and sponsorship. I have already secured a coder, and a UK based company sponsor. My partner knows me very well, I have known him for around 4 years. Just to pick up on the 'America' point, you must study some sort of computing. Indeed it may not be called ICT, however we are developing the Information, Communication and Technology understanding and knowledge - This is no relation to GCSEs.

You really should do your research (i.e. check back a few pages).

Indeed you can. I have managed to complete the first 6 pages of the business plan, in draft.

This is in response to Darren's confusion over how I had obtained his business plan, that he claims to have only released to his sponser and partner.

I am also confused in how someone in this threads seems to know about my business plan, when it has only been sent to my sponsor and my partner.
