👋 Hi friends!
Prodeus is a free chrome extension that cleverly tracks the time you spend watching educational videos on Youtube so that you can earn a digital degree no matter your financial situation.
We built Prodeus because we believe that everyone regardless of wealth, status or nationality deserves equal access to higher education, as it’s the single most important factor in upward social mobility. In these past few years we’ve seen a dramatic rise in remote learning as universities continually raise their prices or close their doors from COVID.
📃 How it works
1. Add the extension to your Chrome browser, pin it to the toolbar and create your Prodeus profile.
2. Connect classes from Youtube📺 to the Prodeus library by hovering over an active youtube video and clicking "Track my time". You will also include the category, skill and difficulty of the class.
3. Prodeus tracks your time spent watching classes and accrues your hours categorically, allowing you to earn degrees in Art & Design, Computer Science, Business, or Academics.
4. As you accrue more hours, you build up your expertise and level up your ProDegree.
In our 2.0 launch we added a series of learning tools to provide more structure, better retention and hastened mastery of new skills. We also let you use the extension outside Youtube...whether your on Wikipedia, Coursera, Codeacademy or Medium you can use the learning tools Prodeus provides.
🤔 Quizzes: You and the community can easily create short answer or multiple choice quizzes to help practice your knowledge. Prodeus will ask you to retake these quizzes regular intervals to ensure retention.
📝 Notes: You can take notes while you learn inside the Prodeus widget, easily organizing your notes inside dedicated sections.
🛣️ Pathways: These sections form the building blocks for your own custom learning pathways. Learning pathways allow you to collect and organize educational resources that you find helpful and important (videos, web links, conversations and quizzes).
🎓 What’s a ProDegree?
ProDegrees mirror traditional university degrees. For instance a Bachelors degree requires 3600 class hours, whereas the reflective ProDegree ‘Master’ requires 2000 class hours.
In our first release of our platform we focusedd on time watched as the single indicator of effort. In our 2.0 release we've brought in quizzes as a second indicator of effort alongside credit for adding value to the community with class/quiz reviews.
📚 Learner-Led Education
Studies show that learner-led education can yield great outcomes for many students. Prodeus helps you measure your self-education process in a Montessori-style approach, letting you decide what and when to learn.
You can choose each individual class you take or you can follow curated pathways from user-generated Courses, collections of classes that can take users on a complete journey through a particular topic, skill or an entire field. As users try and accrue large quantities of time they will be confronted with diverse and unique viewpoints and learn various ways to attack any one skill or task.
🚨 Quality Control
All of the classes on Prodeus require peer reviews which ends up determining the eligibility of that class to provide credit to students. If classes earn below a 3.5 star rating they will not be eligible to provide credit.
On Our Roadmap
🕹️ Integration with Other Platforms: Soon we will allow our users to track their time on Skillshare, Coursera, Udemy, Lynda.
📦 Project-Based Classes: Course creators will be able to add a project to their youtube class so that students can immediately apply the knowledge they’ve gained in a practical way.
Latest reviews
- (2022-06-19) Yasser Hawass: great idea, but for some reason whenver i download it on Chrome current version, it uses all my CPU & disk and i have to terminate chrome and have to disable it, hope it's just a bug and not some kind of scheme.
- (2022-04-05) Suvi: I've been using Prodeus for moths now and I really like it! But sadly with few of latest updates to Chrome the extension has started to have some serious problems. I re-installed an older version of Chrome, but that's not really a sustainable solution in the long run. I really hope they fix the problems soon.
- (2022-03-29) FallenLegEND: The app sounds very promising and helpful but i cant get it to work, the extension requires me to log in and upon pressing log it it takes me to log in web page, i am logging it and the extension still requires me to login :(
- (2022-02-02) Devakinandan K: there is no settings in this extension, to stop push notifications please some costimasize and edit options.
- (2021-10-12) tjtechi “tjtechi”: Nice app, please I forgot my current password. How do I my reset my old forgotten password? I cannot see this functionality anyway. So I cannot login right now.
- (2021-10-06) tjtechi: 1. Nice app, please I forgot my current password. How do I my reset my old forgotten password? I cannot see this functionality anyway. So I cannot login right now. 2. Please can you add HTTPS? 3. And can I know the new permissions this extension requires. Google alerted me that the app requires new permissions and it has been disabled. Where can I find the information on the permissions this app have access to?
- (2021-09-13) bartu gonulalan: It is good in theory but I have to say it's not user-friendly and bad at keeping track. For example, when you study something about CS of course you use your IDE or console on a second window. If you have a second monitor like me it is even better. But even though my course was on fullscreen it didn't record half of my progression. Basically in a 2 hours CS50 lecture it only recorded 1 hour. If the program's principle is all about recording how much time did you spend on something, well it is not quite working yet.
- (2021-07-25) Musab Umair: THANK YOU Prodeus.
- (2021-07-24) O BIXU RUIM: simplesmente incrivel
- (2021-07-12) Abhishek Jaju: Awesome man. Now I know how much I have done from how much I planned to do. Thankyou.
- (2021-06-26) Adityan P: Awsome Extension i first saw this from a youtuber.I tried it out and it's awsome. The UI is Awsome. This extension helped me increase my productivity
- (2021-06-19) Vishal Dongre: Overall amazing idea and nice implementation. Just a small suggestion currently extension size is aprox 17MB. I think you can optimize that. I don't know about webpack bundler but treeshaking can be really helpful here. Also I think there is no need for comments and minifing files can really reduce size of the extension.
- (2021-06-17) Aryan Mittal: Great for Learning Skills
- (2021-06-04) Sam Jebaraj Nadar: Why do you want authentication information like password ?????? I was excited to try it out , now im skeptical
- (2021-06-03) Jyotibrata Mandal: Thanks Jay Kapoor
- (2021-05-02) Didier van Os (nGon-): A pretty neat extension, although currently it seems to cause a really annoying bug. Sometimes at random intervals, and every time you switch between browser tabs, the extension seems to cause youtube to pause the video. The extension then shows a 'feedback' form (even if you have 'show widget' disabled). I don't mind the feedback form too much, but the pausing of videos is getting really annoying (especially if you use multiple tabs to study) so I hope it gets fixed
- (2021-01-05) Jacob Rudy-Froese: Overall this is really cool. The devs are really involved with adding new features as well. BUT with all the new features the UI has become way less intuitive than when I started using this. For example, a new window popped up while I was watching a tutorial and it said I could add new skills to my "ProDegree." Firstly, the extension doesn't really explain this too well so I just sort of thought it was some way to track all the different classes I'm taking. Secondly, I thought these skills were a part of some method for the app to suggest more videos to me, but instead I was adding a review to the specific tutorial that I was watching (the "review," i suppose, is composed of these skills that I added to help categorize the video). I ended up grossly miscategorizing the video! I couldn't find a way to retract my review or edit it in any other way. Like anybody who is presented with a confusing UI, I just started clicking everything until I could find some window where I could see some sort of list of my reviews and either delete it or edit it. ... well it turns out that while I was clicking around I accidentally reported the video! I tried clicking the report button again to undo but it just sent another report! This kind of UI experience is almost enough for me to want to forget about the extension. I'm not going to because the devs seem active and they will hopefully catch on soon! I'll probably check back in about a month or so to give Prodeus another try
- (2021-01-04) Theekshana Nirmal: Usefull
- (2020-12-12) Davor Jovanović: Just started using it. Great idea! I am delighted!
- (2020-11-19) Juan Irungaray: I really think it's a great extension and a great idea. The only thing that I would add it's an option to hidew the button, because obviously you are not always watching educational videos or so, and you want the button to be hidden in an easy way.
- (2020-11-16) SSS_Says_Snek: I have been learning from YouTube for a long time, and now I can finally keep track of my progress!
- (2020-11-15) H. Ali: Tim has recommend this extension. and i love this.
- (2020-10-06) Eitan Goldstein: Prodeus is an awesome plat form! Super excited to see how the Prodeus team expands the app. It's all about being an early adopter.
- (2020-08-11) Sarah Coh: Incredibly helpful! Been learning off of YouTube for years now, and I can finally keep track of all my videos and hours watched! Plugin was super easy to download and worked on my browser. The extension was also really easy to navigate, super clear and comfortable. I've been recommending the extension to everyone I know (especially my friends and family who spend a considerable amount of time learning from YouTube.) 5 stars.
- (2020-08-10) Ananthalakshmi anusheshadri: Innovative , amazing work!
- (2020-08-09) Sabnit Prasai: I am giving it a 5 star as I think you will get this extension in FireFox too. Please have the extension in Mozilla ASAP. I am a Firefox user and had to switch to chrome just to add the YouTube videos in my Prodeus queue which is tedious.
- (2020-08-07) Fahim Sattar: really awesome, i will keep using it !!
- (2020-07-17) Loftit Team: Awesome service!
- (2020-06-27) Sagar S: great idea
