教授您所在领域背后的原因
ArtaQuest 是一个开放式学习平台 基础物理学 （世界如何运作）与 人道主义哲学 (why we use what we learn). Every course is priced at the equivalent of one US dollar per hour of video (charged in USD; shown in your local currency), and a bursary covers the full cost for anyone who needs it. The platform is run by ArtaQuest Foundation，一家加拿大联邦非营利公司（#1794832-8 — verify on Corporations Canada）。任何投资者、经理或员工都不会从学员费用中获利。
创造者阶梯
我们不以资历或出身设限。晋升是自动的，只取决于一件事：你累积的硬币总数。五个等级从新手到 宗师, and each step up moves your revenue share closer to the full 100% — from 38% at Novice to 99% at Grandmaster. Each tier doubles the coin bar of the one below it — 10,000, 20,000, 40,000, 80,000, 160,000 — so every step up is genuinely twice as steep. The top tier takes a lifetime to reach — it is the equivalent of a tenured chair, and ArtaQuest takes almost nothing from a Grandmaster instructor’s courses.
每个等级的门槛都是上一级的两倍。新手 10,000 枚硬币，贡献者 20,000，专家 40,000，大师 80,000，宗师 160,000 —— 大约每一千位贡献者中只有一人能达到宗师。晋升自动完成，唯一标准是累计获得的硬币总数。
- 新手 — 10,000 coins (entry tier)
- 贡献者 — 20,000 coins (twice the Novice bar)
- 专家 — 40,000 coins (twice the Contributor bar)
- 大师 — 80,000 coins (twice the Expert bar)
- 宗师 — 160,000 coins (twice the Master bar; about one in a thousand contributors reach it)
宗师相当于终身教席 —— ArtaQuest 几乎不从宗师讲师的课程中抽取任何分成。

讲师 vs 课程作者
Each ArtaQuest course credits two people. The 讲师 is the person on camera giving the lectures — the editorial face of the course. The 教师 is the person who built the course on ArtaQuest: uploaded the videos, wrote the attention quizzes, set up the certificate. The Instructor is the one who climbs the creator ladder and receives the coin rewards on every review, certificate earned, and quiz passed.
A Lecturer doesn’t need to be on the platform. An Instructor is always an ArtaQuest member. The same person can be both.
收入分成
Every ArtaQuest course is priced at the equivalent of one US dollar per hour of video (charged in USD). Anyone who cannot pay can apply for a bursary that covers the full cost — no one is turned away for lack of funds. The percentage above is what stays with the instructor after card-processing costs (~3%) are taken off. At the Grandmaster tier the platform keeps just 1% — effectively the card-processing cost — so the instructor keeps the rest. Hosting and our small content team are funded by donations to ArtaQuest Foundation, not from the creator’s share.
奖励如何回流到课程作者
每发生一次重要事件，硬币就会进入课程作者的钱包：
- 在你的课程上留下的评价 — +50 coins, once per review.
- 在你的课程上获得的证书 — +25 coins, once per student per course.
- 在你的课程上通过测验 — +1 coin, once per student per quiz.
- 课程已发布 — 10 coins per hour of video, once per course.
Students get rewarded too — +50 coins on every review they leave, +10 on every quiz they pass, plus whatever the LMS point system pays for lessons + certificates.
捐款计入阈值
Every dollar you donate becomes 1 ArtaQuest coin in your wallet, on the same ledger as the learning points above. Donating is one path to the coin thresholds — not a shortcut around the rest. You still need to publish courses, your students still need to pass quizzes, and reviews still need to come in for the upper tiers.
我们不寻找什么
- Courses that mostly rehash Wikipedia or summarise material a learner could just watch directly. The Novice tier is for turning real teaching into proper courses - 包含注意力测验、结构化部分和证书 - 不适用于重新上传剪辑。
- 宣传商业产品或服务的内容。
- 主要目的是党派宣传的政治内容。 （欢迎历史政治分析；不欢迎倡导。）
- 伪科学打着科学的标签。 （欢迎明确的哲学或精神内容——我们只需要诚实的标签。）
