Students sell their notes and papers online

Summary

Educators have expressed concern at a new website where Flemish students offer up their notes and exam questions

Students set own prices on Graduator.be

Four young entrepreneurs have launched the website Graduator.be where students can sell their notes, papers and exam questions. The initiative is inspired by a similar platform in the Netherlands, Stuvia.com.
 

Students posting their documents on the Graduator site set their own prices. For a list with possible exam questions, you pay around €3, while a summary of a whole course can cost up to €20. The site is not a big success yet, but the entrepreneurs hope a Facebook campaign will convince more students.

A similar website called Noteble will launch in February, which will distribute summaries for free, paying contributors with an income generated through advertisements. Experts are worried that the quality of the documents is not guaranteed to be high and that some of the information or images could be copyright-protected.

Donna BabyIn some nations, the English term (or its cognate in another language) is reserved for those who attend university, while a schoolchild under the age of eighteen is called a pupil in English (or an equivalent in other languages) although in the United States and in Australia a person enrolled in grades K–12 is often called a student.
