Welcome!

Hello everyone,

I decided to wait for the September voting cycle to submit my proposal. You can find the Dash Pre Proposal at https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/make-a-paid-dash-course-a-free-dash-course-for-all-opens-more-doors-for-dash-education.16680/. 

Periodically throughout this year I have been making a few Dash Videos which I was posting to my Youtube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5K854TDyCKQ73UCGuORVZQ. I have two playlists for Dash: "How to Store Dash" and "How to Get Dash”! These videos led me on a journey to actually create a “Dash for Beginners” course that would help people understand the foundation of Dash. As well as give them a way to use Dash and of course, store dash. The full course can be found at https://www.udemy.com/dash-digital-cash/.

I have taken some time to create this course and upload it to a platform known as https://www.udemy.com/ which is a very popular online learning platform.  As you can see in the image below (screen captured from their website at https://about.udemy.com/press/), there is a huge window of opportunity for people to learn about a vast number of topics including crypotcurrencies! So why not Dash?


[Having difficulties adding the screenshot] The stats are as followed:

• 17,000,000 Students
  
• 45,000 Courses
  
• 20,000 Instructors
  
• 92,000,000 Course Enrollments
  
• 9,000,000 Minutes of video
  
• 60+ Languages

I am here to propose that we give the course the opportunity to be free to anyone that wants to learn about Dash as a Digital Currency!

What will this proposal Include?

15 Dash for Course Content Already Created. (40 Lectures about 3 hours)

• Introduction to Dash.

• Add and improve the content over the course of the rest of 2017. 2 to 3 Lectures will be created each month (either Updated or New Content).
• Suggestions from the community would be greatly appreciated! (Already recommended content to add; basic security practices for wallets).
• Poll from community to make content 1.5x or 2x faster or leave as is.

Udemy Policy: With the Course Being Free it will give the opportunity for me to upload the entire course on Youtube (and other video sources) as well and allow anyone if they so choose to embed the content on any platform. The Course would be in its own playlist and the lectures will be uploaded gradually as individual videos.
