Competition Specs
Live Social Network
Freemium User-Friendly Brand Potential
eProf classes are all live and interactive. Our world-
class virtual classroom can host up to 25 live
video streams in addition to document sharing,
screen sharing, live chat and media streaming.
While this does not set us apart from WizIQ or Blackboard, it does differentiate from
marketplace plays such as SkillShare or Udemy.
eProf is both a powerful teaching tool and a user network that promotes
interaction, collaboration and making new
connections. eProf has tools such as discussion boards,
forums, in-class social media integration and a sophisticated internal messaging system.
As the eProf network evolves, we will be
recreating many of the best features that LinkedIn has to
offer.
eProf has no upfront fees for educators on the
site. This freemium model, in combination
with the user-friendliness of the site
will lead to higher percentage signup conversions than
companies like WizIQ have.
eProf strives to provide a clean and streamlined user
experience that makes online teaching easy and painless.
The current on-site experience is simple and
powerful; as our development team scales,
this experience will continue to improve.
The potential for branding eProf as the elite teaching
venue on the web is undeniable. As eProf success stories emerge from around the world, these stories will
be showcased through strategic marketing
campaigns. Success stories from well-known experts will have a viral effect that lead to
mass signups from their follower networks. We call these well-known experts
eProfs in Residence.
Why does eProf stand out amongst the competition?
