    Doubts Doctrine: Users flock but questions linger over Doubtnut, Brainly Unlike full-stack edtech players like Byju’s, platforms like Doubtnut and Brainly are hoping to turn doubt solving into a standalone business. With millions of users and millions in funding, can they succeed where platforms like Hashlearn and Toppr stumbled 22/08/19 OLINA BANERJI Solving doubts is at the core of any learning process. Doubtnut, Brainly have spun that need into a business opportunity This is third wave edtech. Concepts come later. Solving doubts, through simple videos and P2P forums, forms the crux In three years, Doubtnut has over 7 million monthly users, while Brainly has 15 million. Both have attracted large VCs But the doubts business is disloyal. Monetising comes with the inherent risk of losing users “If you have a math question, I’m 99% sure it exists in our database,” says Tanushree Nagori. We’re inside a giant boardroom, with off-white walls and rows of tables, which double up as writing surfaces. Nagori draws on the table between us, explaining where her fledgling online venture—Doubtnut—lies within India’s edtech landscape, which is projected to be worth $1.96 billion by 2021. “I guess you’d put us in this quadrant,” she says, pointing to a white space between “local language” and “concepts + doubts”. Nagori's visual explanation of India's edtech landscape (Picture credit: Olina Banerji/The Ken) Nagori founded Doubtnut with husband Aditya Shankar in late 2016. Offered as an app, a website and even a WhatsApp helpline as of 2019, Doubtnut is an online platform which primarily offers students 24×7 help with math doubts.

  • L'evoluzione Della Relazione Uroborica Fra Videogioco E Musica: Il Singolare Caso Di Transculturalità Dell'industria Videoludica Giapponese
    Corso di Laurea magistrale in Economia e Gestione delle Arti e delle Attività culturali Dipartimento di Filosofia e Beni culturali Tesi di Laurea L'evoluzione della relazione uroborica fra videogioco e musica: il singolare caso di transculturalità dell'industria videoludica giapponese Relatore: Giovanni De Zorzi Correlatrice: Maria Roberta Novielli Laureando: Enrico Pittalis Numero di Matricola: 871795 Anno accademico 2018/2019 Sessione Straordinaria Ringrazio Valentina, la persona più preziosa, senza cui questo lavoro non sarebbe stato possibile. Ringrazio i miei relatori, i professori Giovanni De Zorzi e Maria Roberta Novielli, che mi hanno guidato lungo questo percorso con grande serietà. Ringrazio i miei amici per i tanti consigli, confronti e spunti di riflessione che mi hanno dato. Ringrazio il Dott. Tommaso Barbetta per avermi incoraggiato ed aiutato a trovare gli obiettivi e il Prof. Toshio Miyake per avermi suggerito dei materiali di approfondimento. Ringrazio il Prof. Marco Fedalto per avermi dato importantissimi consigli. Ringrazio i miei genitori per avermi sostenuto nelle mie scelte, anche le più stravaganti. Glossario: - Anime: termine con cui si fa riferimento alle serie televisive animate prodotte in Giappone, spesso adattamenti televisivi di romanzi brevi o manga, talvolta videogiochi. - Arcade: prestito linguistico dall’inglese, termine con cui ci si riferisce alle “Macchine da gioco”, costituita fisicamente da un videogioco posto all'interno di un cabinato di grandi dimensioni operabile a monete o gettoni, che normalmente viene posto in postazioni pubbliche come sale giochi, bar, talvolta cinema e centri commerciali. L’Etimologia è incerta, probabilmente derivante da “Arcata” facente riferimento storicamente a lunghi viali sotto i portici dei borghi, dove si trovavano le botteghe e luoghi dediti al divertimento.
