Online Education Platforms Put Teachers in Competition - All Things Co-op
- 2 years ago
John Hayes of MyCoolClass, an online education platform cooperative, speaks to the ATC guys about the ways most large-scale online learning platforms exploit their workers in order to make a profit and how MyCoolClass aims to tackle these problems head-on.
"The online education industry was expected to hit 450 billion by 2025 and that was an estimate given before the pandemic. So this is not a niche industry, this is huge. This is really big. The other platforms out there-- very few people make the rules." - John Hayes
