GXC
GXC seeks to eliminate the widening education gap by addressing the needs of historically marginalized students, including those exacerbated by remote learning. We're working to address the following at little to no cost:
- Securely record & host livestreams for later viewing
- Contextually translate lectures (into over 100 languages) instantly
- Maintain the integrity of remote assignments
- Overcome poor internet connections
- Offer superior mobile support vs legacy platforms/LMS
Combined with GXC's patent-pending egress-reducing technology, the platform should be able to greatly enhance the learning potential of users regardless of race, gender, creed, or circumstance. With hot-cloud storage and a CDN for distribution, scaling globally should be extraordinarily cost effective, and potentially free to use via a freemium model.

GXC is predominantly trying to address three issues:
- Expand access to high quality education to people of all socio-economic backgrounds by offering a cutting-edge learning management system at little-to-no cost.
- Significantly reduce the technology / 'homework' gap predominantly affecting historically marginalized students - the poor, dispersed, and non-native English speakers - even where limited internet access exists.
- Improve student engagement and content retention through use of secure, media-rich content ranging from adjustable picture-in-picture livestream recordings to contextualized neural translations of spoken content.
UNESCO Data estimates that as of 2014, just under 1.5 billion students were enrolled in primary (719m), secondary (568m), and higher education (207m) around the world. 2019 NCES data approximates United States enrollment at 70.7 million for elementary school (35.5m), secondary school (15.3m), and higher education (19.9m). US State departments of education collectively estimate millions of enrolled primary and secondary education students know little-to-no English. The FCC estimates over 21 million Americans lack access to broadband internet, with ~75% coming from rural regions.
The World Economic Forum states the disparity is even more staggering globally, with only 47% having internet access in developing nations and just 19% in the least developed countries.
GXC is the developer of a learning management system (LMS) designed to eliminate the widening education gap through 'frictionless video learning'. We address several pervasive problems with eLearning disproportionately afflicting the poor, dispersed, and non-native speakers.
The LMS serves as the framework for our solution from which numerous afflictions can be addressed. At a base level, it is a digital congregation point for instructors to teach (via livestream, pre-recorded videos, or alternative digital means), share announcements, administer and grade assignments, and foster discussion through forums.
What makes the platform noteworthy is how processes supporting these activities are deployed to achieve unparalleled results. Egress-reducing P2P technologies allow for improved performance in internet-poor areas, increased download & streaming speeds, reduced likelihood of server failure, and lower operational costs. Neural machine translations instantly translate lecture transcriptions while retaining context, providing non-native speakers improved context with ~92% accuracy; simultaneous use of closed captions and subtitles in different languages further supports this objective. A mobile-first design is critical for an increasingly on-the-go populations, and is especially crucial outside of North America where smartphone ownership far outpaces desktops, which all major legacy LMSs were primarily designed for.
GXC's solution addresses those most adversely affected by the technology / 'homework' gap, those being the poor, dispersed, and non-native English speakers. These groups come in many different forms from diverse cultures in America and abroad. For example:
- Poor: those without sufficient access to learning resources; underserved school districts; families in poverty-stricken nations; those without access to stable internet; individuals saddled with debt looking for a path to solvency
- Dispersed: generally areas with low population densities, be it rural America or the remote volcanoes of Guatemala; children constantly moving due to their parents' work
- Non-Native Speakers: anyone forced to communicate in a language in which they are unfamiliar; immigrants, migrants, refugees, and expats, including children; study abroad participants; international convention attendees; those who must communicate in a specific manner due to special needs, such as the blind, mute, and disabled
Each of these groups must overcome similar challenges regardless of socio-economic status, and given sufficient resources, generally learn in similar ways. As such, by developing scalable technical solutions that overcome the most extreme of their circumstances, a sizable segment of learners in less dire circumstances can likewise reap benefits.
Solutions effectively addressing issues experienced by historically marginalized groups which also provide improvements to those in more privileged circumstances offer the added benefit of adoption irrespective of socio-economic status, meaning that the privileged and underprivileged alike will learn from similarly (highly) effective systems, thereby closing the aforementioned technology / 'homework' gap.
---
Some specific ways GXC attempts to address the digital divide / homework gap are as follows:
- Course content is accessible over mobile devices: Students can use both WiFi and data networks to access their content. By fully integrating cloud video and file repositories into mobile apps, students can stream or download whatever content they need, even on the go. (Chromebooks and desktops are also supported but don’t typically accept mobile data.)
- Class recordings & files are streamable and downloadable: Students without quality internet access can download course content over WiFi. (The ability to download content can be turned on or off by schools.) So, if at a school, library, or friend’s house, needed content can be downloaded and brought home for homework or study.
- Automatic ‘as-soon-as-available’ downloads: Students can configure their devices to automatically download course videos and content at certain times of day, or as soon as it is made available, regardless of if they are actually using their phones or not. As such, whenever a stable WiFi or mobile data internet connection becomes available, new content can download automatically, even when a student is away.
- [In-Development] Automated, ‘silent’ credentialed peer-to-peer network creation & utilization: A significant advancement we’ve conceptualized for this space is pending development, with patents pending as well. As outlined, this has the potential to:
- Significantly reduce student download and stream times
- Prevent downloads from stopping and restarting when an internet connection is lost
- Enable instructors and students to automatically share course-specific data among themselves from localized networks, even without internet access
- Configure devices to automatically delete old / unneeded course content to maintain free space on the device. (This can be overridden and content can still be streamed / accessed again.)
- Exponentially reduce data transfer (egress), lowering operational costs and significantly reducing the likelihood of server overload / failure
Other features of note include the following:
- Instant contextualized translations: Non-native English speakers often struggle to learn taught concepts due to having an incomplete grasp of the English terminology used. GXC has multiple patents pending on its neural translation technology, which assesses a full class transcript, prepares a highly accurate contextualized translation, and makes it available as both on-screen closed captions and searchable sentence-delineated subtitles with time stamps for quick navigation. Students can then choose to view the translated and English subtitles simultaneously to guide their studies.
- Robust Assessment Creation, Administration, and Grading Tools: Numerous question types, combined with a large variety of features such as question banks, randomization, and anti-cheating mechanisms, offers instructors the flexibility to assess students in a manner they are most comfortable. Custom grading interfaces have been developed for both instructors and teaching assistants to further prevent cheating and offer individualized student feedback.
- Mobility: GXC was intentionally developed as a mobile-first LMS, as smartphones now constitute a majority of digital traffic. With unparalleled mobile/tablet capabilities and synchrony between all major operating systems, GXC strives to offer the world’s most capable and intuitive LMS.
- Video-Centric Capabilities: Over the past two decades, numerous studies have illustrated the value of video-based learning. Whether uploading content ahead of time or livestreaming (where content is saved to the cloud for future viewing), instructors can architect a course structure of their choosing. Multiple video inputs can be synchronized from the host (such as video of the instructor and screen capture of a slide deck) which each student can independently adjust to focus on the area most worthy of attention.
- Accommodate Absences: To many, use of video-capture software seems exclusive to remote learning, though consistently recording in-person courses offers significant benefits. Absences due to illness, personal affairs, and snow days can be mitigated with video. Just as valuable, students can reference and search through course recordings when preparing for exams, improving studying efficiency and retention.
- Unparalleled Collaborative Opportunities: Instructors and teaching assistants can share time-stamped notes with the class, while students can independently share digitized notes as well. Announcements, forums, and in-video chat offer traditional ways to communicate, though some instructors may wish to provide their students channels to manage as well. Open to the class yet privatized from the outside world, students can use channels to document their challenges and successes through projects, shadowing, and other off-campus activities using video and other media.
- Unique, usage-based pricing: Following our pilots, GXC's pricing is designed to be usage-based as opposed to the subscription-based model used by legacy LMS providers. Schools that prefer to use traditional LMS services, requiring limited data storage and transfer, would pay far less than what legacy providers presently charge. Those requiring data-intensive services, such as distributing picture-in-picture videos in 4k resolution, would pay a proportional amount to support said service. GXC also has plans in place to offer a free, minimally invasive ad-supported version which can be wholly supported on two 5 to 15 second pre-roll video ads per HD video-hour thanks to GXC's proposed egress reducing technology. By comparison, YouTube averages 9 ads per video-hour, most of which being invasive (as the video plays).
- Increase the engagement of learners in remote, hybrid, and physical environments, including strategies and tools for parental support, peer interaction, and guided independent work.
Per the challenge directive, GXC is a technology-based solution (a learning management system) that endeavors to enable students to have access to quality, secure, and equitable learning environments.
GXC specifically addresses how to provide quality, media-rich learning in areas with poor internet access, using video, translations, and collaborative tools to better engage students in remote and hybrid environments. GXC offers specific solutions to address inequalities in wealth, geography, and linguistics to close the education gap. Early career exploration and self-directed learning can be directly supported through use of video-diaries which students can upload for instructor led guidance and discussions.
- Pilot: An organization deploying a tested product, service, or business model in at least one community.
GXC's initial two pilots are presently underway.
Our primary pilot is with an organization named New Enterprise Factory (NEF), which fosters the development of 'entrepreneurial zones' in nations around the world including Ukraine, Turkey, Egypt, and Afghanistan. Led by the emeritus head of the National Inventors Hall of Fame, NEF envisions utilizing GXC as an 'ultimate collaboration platform' to connect foreign entrepreneurs and governments with North American business leaders. By having entrepreneurs share their stories, they can learn from one another and expand their businesses overseas.
New Enterprise Factory says that they intend to gradually introduce more internationals into their pilot over the course of the summer, with a final tally of around 2,000.
Our second pilot is with a small English-language school named Kurumi English, based out of isolated island of Okinawa, Japan. The school presently serves just under two-dozen students spanning different age groups from children to adults.
- A new business model or process that relies on technology to be successful
GXC's numerous technical innovations are outlined in granted patents (See US9380324 & US9767854) as well as pending ones involving peer-to-peer methodologies, egress reduction, and content distribution automation (see attached images).
From a practical standpoint, GXC's solution addresses emerging technical and social trends to best serve students of all backgrounds. Though we employ fully capable desktop applications, our platform is mobile-focused, with interfaces specifically designed for on-the-go users. Media capabilities have been enhanced beyond any mainstream LMS through the use of adjustable picture-in-picture and synchrony components which function well in areas with poor internet access while simultaneously better engaging students through a robust audio-visual medium. Contextualized neural-translation assesses the content of a lecture and applies it on a sentence-by-sentence basis, improving machine translation accuracy from approximately 76% to 93%, offering non-native speakers excellent context regarding lecture material. (Both the native transcription and contextualized translation can be viewed on-screen at the same time.) Finally, our efforts to minimize egress expenditures enables GXC's rich features to be used far less expensively than legacy providers, especially for small schools. Theoretically, all of GXC could be supported through minimally invasive pre-roll advertising, meaning schools domestic and international can use GXC absolutely free.
Should GXC gain exposure and traction, legacy learning management system providers would be forced to rapidly innovate and disrupt their predatory multi-year licensing models or hemorrhage users. Their outdated interfaces and lack of innovation would be seen as unacceptable, and industry innovation could finally flourish.

By the start of June, our pair of pilots should have kicked off and cover ~36 people. By the end of summer, New Enterprise Factory (NEF) has indicated that number will expand to ~2,000 people. They claim, should the pilot go well, that they believe 100,000 people is a 'realistic number' that will sign up for their service, so ensuring our platform is prepared to scale has been a priority. Whether this number is truly realistic remains to be seen, but the NEF team certainly believes that to be the case.
I don't think a realistic projection can be offered for 5 years down the road at this point; our initial pilots are just beginning, and the jump to 2,000 users by the end of summer 2021 is something that already seems exciting. If our pilots go well and we hit our numbers, I would hope we'd be able to expand that number to millions within 5 years' time, hopefully with a sizable contingent of marginalized individuals who would otherwise have inferior educational resources at their disposal.
GXC's predominant goal is to expand access to quality education opportunities to as many people as possible, an objective which inherently mandates a focus on groups with inadequate resourcing. Feedback metrics focusing on the adoption delta from lesser systems (no LMS or a low capability LMS), changes in student academic performance (and in the long term, job prospects), and firsthand written accounts of experiences with the platform (student, teacher, and administrative feedback) will collectively provide clarity if our ambitious objective is being met.
A rough count of students and instructors whose institutions have opted to adopt GXC when no LMS was previously used will indicate the extent to which GXC can accommodate users in extreme of circumstances. Identifying the proportion of those that have switched from another LMS, or a livestreaming service like Zoom, will indicate if GXC is better accommodating the needs of those accustomed to digital learning services.
Comparing the proportion of those who switched from a different LMS from total LMS users familiar with GXC against the proportion of those adopting GXC from not having used a LMS yet familiar with GXC, will roughly indicate if the platform is better serving those with no prior means to support an LMS vs those who already could.
For courses with the same instructors from the year prior to adoption to the upcoming year, an improvement in grade averages would roughly suggest GXC offers better study tools.
Long-term studies of employment rate & earnings may also indicate improved long-term retention.

Active Total: 6
Full Time: 2
Part-Time: 4
Note: Part-time workers have expressed an interest in working full-time given sufficient financial resources. 41 people have contributed to the platform's development in a meaningful way. Over half of our 28 technical personnel have been women, racial minorities, or foreign-born.
Steven Schoenwald | Operations Director - After several years as a clinical engineer at Cleveland Clinic, Steven led the English localization of a popular Japanese video game, traveled the world for Fortune 1000 companies as a project manager & tech consultant, and became a sideline technologist for the NFL to ensure seamless audio/visual playback from the sidelines. He currently works full-time at GXC undertaking various technical, design, and operational responsibilities.
Robert Hodermarsky | Technical Director - Robert began his career for software developer Data-Basics where he was given an expansive role. His solo development of TimeAnywhere 2.0 was awarded the Dealer Design Gold Award, designating it as the nation’s best new HVAC software and service offering for 2016. Robert leads GXC’s technical team, who collectively has contributed over 40,000 hours towards the platform’s development.
--Additional Active Programmers--
James Jerome Leiken | Routinely using Java, JSON, SQL, JavaScript, among other languages, James is well positioned to contribute to this proposed project’s objectives on multiple operating systems.
Robert Jansen | Developed front-end software used by some of the world’s foremost companies. Specialized experience maintaining synchrony of media streams and app development.
Ryan Timas | Experience developing peer-to-peer processes, minimizing stream latency, and application development.
Charles Cvitkovich | Experience in cross-platform application development; relied upon to develop software and troubleshoot problems on any major operating system.
GXC's co-founders Steven and Robert both strongly believe in merit-based hiring, which has directly led to the majority of their technical personnel having been women, minorities, or international born despite working out of a largely racially homogenous Cleveland suburb. Both are thrilled to have onboarded such capable staff, and are proud that they have consistently praised GXC's meager yet tight-knit working environment. The vast majority of those who have left GXC for more lucrative job opportunities have credited Robert's mentorship of highly technical concepts as significant factor in their career advancement at prominent companies. Further, several have kept in touch with both Steven and Robert years after their departure, having developed friendships solely from their time working together.
GXC has every intention of continuing these practices, hiring and promoting those who believe in its mission of offering high quality education opportunities to all, regardless of race, gender, orientation, creed, socio-economic status, or circumstance. In doing so, GXC will continue to reflect upon and learn from the diverse experiences of our staff (both past and present), improving our platform for a broader range of users, while simultaneously ensuring that its leaders can confidently approach and overcome challenges which only those with diverse backgrounds can identify.
- Organizations (B2B)
I believe SOLVE's leadership network can offer GXC the greatest benefit. While access to grants and investment is certainly appreciated and is an area of need for us, we have a robust MVP already in place, so establishing connections with people who could utilize our services (or know others who might be able to utilize our resources) while simultaneously believing in our mission would be of great benefit.
Each of GXC's three barriers to success can be addressed by SOLVE. Access to SOLVE's network, be it to peers, advisors, investors, or media access will provide GXC with extra exposure which can both lead to direct growth and warm introductions, both of which would be of substantial value for us to increase our userbase.
Access to SOLVE relegated grants would support GXC's cable technical staff, providing them valuable financial security. If a sizable grant is obtained, industry-specific sales staff can be onboarded which would enable much more rapid growth than what GXC's business-side can presently support. Further, access to investors interested in both cutting-edge, cost saving technologies with multi-disciplinary applications, as well as addressing complex societal ills, could provide an alternative funding pathway for GXC which would likewise be embraced.
It is also possible that we could partner with other companies or personnel in SOLVE's network where we can offer use of our LMS and associated tools in exchange for sales assistance or other collaborative opportunities.
- Financial (e.g. improving accounting practices, pitching to investors)
- Product / Service Distribution (e.g. expanding client base)
GXC has a highly capable technical staff led by a nationally recognized award winning software developer Robert Hodermarsky, and has already developed multiple innovative technologies. While the group is close knit, they are currently working well below market-value (and have for some time) because they believe in GXC's mission. We need to make sure they have enough financial incentivization to keep them together despite their other obligations, be they familial or otherwise. GXC has built its entire platform without external investment or donations, yet could be even more efficient with the security of financial backing.
Further, all operations and business pursuits are explored solely by co-founder Steven Schoenwald, as well as the LMS's UI design planning. This greatly limits exposure and sales opportunities because he has so many obligations to the business and cannot focus on any one area. Optimally, if GXC could onboard some industry-knowledgeable sales staff who can expand GXC's client base and improve name recognition, the company can grow an Steven can focus on the design and operational aspect of the company (where his contributions can be best utilized).
Connections with schools and social aid organizations would certainly provide an excellent match with GXC and would be wholeheartedly embraced. Due to our infrastructure's ability to immediately scale, the size of the organization doesn't matter; whether we're introduced to a small group of students in a remote area or a massive number through a global organization, we'll do everything within our power to assist.
That said, we do not with to limit ourselves to just those groups. GXC is open to partnering with any organization that sees value in providing quality education and/or accessibility tools to a segment of users. Self-help organizations, such as those assisting with addition consultation, would be a great with us so they can provide increased outreach. We've recently have had discussions with multiple large convention organizers (30,000+ attendees) to discuss if GXC could be used to broadcast lectures and panels to remote attendees who paid for registration. (We can, and better than the competition!) Tutoring groups/orgs, especially those dealing with language-based learning, should certainly find value in GXC's tools.
Finally, organizations that transmit massive amounts of data to large groups of users, especially multimedia, may wish to partner with us in the hope of utilizing our egress-reducing technologies.

As a learning management system with a focus on multimedia features and mobile utility, GXC is designed to be a highly effective core learning tool for modern students regardless of circumstance. One prominent private secondary school in northeast Ohio is currently holding meetings with GXC to explore using the platform for exploratory learning in their honors school so students can document research projects and business shadowing using GXC's various communication tools.
In summary, GXC seeks to eliminate the widening education gap by addressing the needs of historically marginalized students, especially the poor, dispersed, and non-native speakers. We're able to address the following at little to no cost:
- Securely record & host livestreams for later viewing
- Contextually translate lectures (into over 100 languages) instantly
- Maintain the integrity of remote assignments
- Overcome poor internet connections
- Offer superior mobile support vs legacy platforms/LMS
Such tools are essential for providing more equitable access to quality education from a broad range of students, especially for when in-person learning is fully reinstated.
With hot-cloud storage and a CDN for distribution, scaling globally should be extraordinarily cost effective, and potentially free to use via a freemium model. Should we earn The ASA Prize for Equitable Education, we would use it to develop a patent-pending technology to exponentially reduce egress costs and more quickly distribute digital content even in areas with little to no internet.

Nearly half of American K-12 schools don't utilize a learning management system due to cost. Among the rest, over half use the low-capability Google Classroom (free). This lack of quality education platforms most routinely affects working-class communities, hindering their socio-economic growth.
