PROBLEMS OF MODERN COURSEWARE
● Predominance of tasks, prioritizing "correct" and "rational" answers above all else;
● Overly cut and dried topics and visuals, absence of newly-emerging themes in
textbooks;
● Limited speaking exercises and discussion-related activities;
● Abundance of characterless stock photographs merely for filling up empty space and
adding a "modern" appearance;
● Difficulty faced by students in the elimination of the odd options in tasks, with a preference for
selecting humorous and unconventional choices, resulting from a strong desire to avoid
mundane "correct" answers.
● Strict adherence to a course framework, resulting in educators’ negative reactions,
especially when students struggle with exercises that teachers have nearly memorized;
● Textbooks becoming the sole tools utilized by teachers, along with dull PowerPoint
slides containing visually jumbled materials and resulting in a loss of students’ interest
and motivation;
● Lack of creativity or attention grabbers in exercises with predesigned correct answers;
● The failure of a vast majority of online ESL resources to meet even minimum design
standards, often incorporating Word Art from Word 97, Comic Sans et c.
PROBLEMS OF MODERN COURSEWARE
● Excessive formalism and instructiveness of textbooks and tests;
● The dominance of sterile and "safe" topics;
● Fatigue among teachers due to the rigidly defined structure of textbooks and
repetitiveness of just a dozen of themes year after year;
● Copyright violations, source link omission, and poor design of content created and
shared by teachers on major platforms;
● Communicative approach, causing a restriction on freedom of speech, prompting
experts to suggest replacing it with systematic language teaching. However, the latter is
currently almost absent.
PROBLEMS OF MODERN COURSEWARE
● The current labor market has placed a greater emphasis on creativity skills, which can be
attributed in part to the modern PISA test that assesses creative thinking abilities;
● Most cognitive function improvement materials prioritize neurobics, neglecting exercises that
enhance creativity, abstract thinking, and higher-order thinking;
● Trainees exhibit low resistance to premature closure, i.e., they struggle to remain open
and to avoid jumping to conclusions hastily;
● Absence of sustainable cross-platform resources that can be equally practiced as a
board game, without Internet Access.
PROBLEMS IN CREATIVITY DEVELOPMENT
SOLUTION
● A regularly-updated platform with hundred
thousands of randomized tasks intended for
different levels and goals;
● Unique integrative thinking exercises, suited not
only for learners of English as a foreign language,
but also for native English speakers willing to
improve their improvisation skills and
spontaneous speech;
● Non-standard exercises designed as well to
evaluate creative abilities of candidates in an
interview. Such exercises are not only
stress-relieving, but they also allow participants to
demonstrate their integrative thinking skills.
Grandomastery
● At present, Grandomastery has 36 activity types,
each consisting of multiple elements that can be
randomized to create unique combinations every
time the activity is initiated. With thousands of
entries for each element, the platform can
generate an infinite number of tasks altogether.
● The entries contain either 100% authentic
human-made materials or public domain
resources, such as “Random Images”;
● Grandomastery is an ever-growing platform
since user-submitted content is regularly reviewed
and added;
● New authentic activities appear every month.
SOLUTION
HOW IT WORKS
Random Mode
produces infinitely
generated activities in
random order,
depending on preset
occurrence ratio
(weights)
Cycle Mode initiates
a finite cycle,
generated from all
(currently) 45 types of
unique activities.
HOW IT WORKS
● Grandomastery emphasizes the principle of bisociation, which involves connecting different planes,
such as art, science, and humor;
● Bisociation occurs when seemingly incompatible planes overlap unexpectedly;
● The platform aims to remove constraints and encourage participants to consider various
phenomena that often include negative, neglected or avoided social constructs;
● Activities can be completed on the phone, desktop, smart TV, or projector. The responses could be
recorded using inbuilt audio recorder;
● While MVPs often have rudimentary or limited content, Grandomastery, as an MPP (Minimal
Perfect Product), provides materials that allow for uninterrupted task completion for thousands of
hours with versatile unpredictable fun content.
Spectrogram, available on every
activity page, is a game designed to
help participants take control of their
pauses and eliminate plague
words during monologue narration.
The game has five difficulty levels
that correspond to the allowed
pause duration, and if a pause is too
long, a "Game Over" dialogue
appears. This game has proved
highly beneficial for students who
want to practice IELTS and TOEFL
speaking tasks on their own.
HOW IT WORKS
USP & MARKET VALIDATION
● Unpredictable serendipitous results, conducive to ad-hoc discoveries;
● As a kind of vade-mecum, Grandomastery aims at providing a resource for those interested in
practising and teaching integrative, productive, and higher-order thinking;
● Students are no longer expected to assume the responsibilities of instructional designers from
the very first stage of language learning;
● It is inherent in learners to create their own unique verbal works of art and not just copy what
already exists;
● Users tend to perform unstandardized tasks in a funny, absurd, and eccentric manner —
turning grandomastery activities into an insightful learning experience.
USP & MARKET VALIDATION
● Grandomastery's activities are presented without visual clutter;
● Grandomastery content has been developed by a human, not AI, thus it guarantees maximum
relevance, yet it could be enriched using AI if necessary, thus the project will never be fully
replaced with AI.;
● Relevant visuals are only used when absolutely necessary;
● Grandomastery activities include supporting structures for students to boosttheir cohesion.;
● The activities are designed to avoid unwanted repetitiveness in training;
● Grandomastery serves as a complementary educational and entertaining tool which may as
well be a “filling” exercise in the classroom, it may take as much or as little time as necessary
and it doesn’t interfere with traditional courseware.
● Grandomastery, as an accredited CPD platform, grants certificates to our experts, trainees,
partners, educators, and active members;
● accredible.com service is used, allowing instructors to upload the Grandomastery certificates
they register with Grandomastery.com on linkedin and other social media sites with a single click;
● Grandomastery has shown that edutainment is not always about gamification, it is not always about
online awards, animated effects, and augmented reality;
● Simultaneous first-time viewing of an activity by the teacher and student reduces the disparity in
their perceptions of the displayed information;
● Grandomastery facilitates the teacher's understanding of the student's perspective.

Operational Expenses
Grandomastery is an impressive way to take advantage of using your vital experience as an
adult to take advantage of what you are good at, or to try to improve on the parts you are not
especially good at, as a way of improving not only your language but your skills as a whole.
Tip for the users when they get stuck with an exercise: this kind of exercise is very similar to
those actors use for improvising: "Never be afraid of building connections and avoid trying to build
only those that may sound 'right' for the majority". "Right for everyone" doesn't exist and is very
uninteresting.
As long as they are saying things that make sense in a language, everything else is always
possible and beautiful. Plus, the best creations come from things that didn't make any sense at
first. These are exercises only for them. And things get much funnier the craziest we leave them to
be. The freer they let themselves be, the better connections they will build. Day after day, the
connections are built until words, sentences and paragraphs resonate in their everyday life. This
resonation is the real trigger.
I think Grandomastery is exactly that, a tool to build a resonation.
Cristina Navales, Scenes of Life Founder
USER TESTIMONIALS
I recently tried out the Grandomastery platform and was pleasantly surprised. At first glance, the
site's design is unremarkable compared to the visually stunning materials we're used to seeing.
However, the site's content is a true gem for those who are ready to engage in critical and
creative thinking.
The platform features only two buttons, RANDOM and CYCLE, but they provide users with
unexpected and extraordinary tasks that have no right or wrong answers. Instead, users are
encouraged to answer in a way that pleases them. I find this approach very inspiring and often
find myself returning to the platform to press the buttons and marvel at the creativity of the
tasks.
One of the obvious benefits of Grandomastery is that there's no need to prepare for the tasks
since they're all random. In fact, it's impossible to prepare for them.
Vera Ermolaeva, ESL Expert
USER TESTIMONIALS
I am an EFL teacher, teacher trainer and manager with over 17-years' experience in the industry. I started using Grandomastery
early this year in some of my higher level EFL classes and found it to be a fantastic learning tool. If you have a B2 – C1 level
class, then this website is ideal, especially if you are looking for an interactive, communicative and fun learning aid, that doesn’t
require much preparation. I often use it at the end of class as a filler and the students go crazy for it; it really helps to finish the
lesson on a high note. However, if you have time, I recommend going through the different games/activities of which there are
currently 37, as some of them lend themselves to specific grammar, functional language etc., and therefore you can use the tool
to practise and review the target language from your lessons.
I’ve found that not only do the activities engage my students, but they also give them the opportunity to produce language at
length on random topics and in doing so boosts their confidence and increases fluency. In addition, it helps students to be more
creative and improves their analytical thinking, which some students from more traditional learning environments can struggle
with. Some of the activities are great for IELTS part 2 speaking practice, allowing for delayed feedback at the end of the game.
Teachers can even use the website as a needs analysis tool, which is especially useful when getting to know the strengths and
weaknesses of a new class or student. In fact, for more confident teachers, it could even be used as an intro to a Dogme style
lesson. Grandomastery is a highly innovative and flexible learning tool that really does help students and teachers alike. I like it
so much that I have incorporated it into my classroom and online lessons on a daily basis and I strongly encourage other
teachers, be it new to teaching or old hands, to do the same.
Richard Smyth, EFL Teacher
USER TESTIMONIALS
Dear Alexander Popov,
This website is... more than awesome. I will share it with
my colleagues. I think with Grandomastery you have
made a lot of teachers' life a lot easier - and of course,
making a lot of games around pub tables possible. :D
P.S: You have developed this website (I mean, the
algorithm and the content and the idea) ALONE? Wow.
Shows an abundance of creativity and hard work.
Noémi Dolinka (Influencer, Language expert)

Grandomastery 2024 Pitch Deck.pdf

  • 2. PROBLEMS OF MODERN COURSEWARE ● Predominance of tasks, prioritizing "correct" and "rational" answers above all else; ● Overly cut and dried topics and visuals, absence of newly-emerging themes in textbooks; ● Limited speaking exercises and discussion-related activities; ● Abundance of characterless stock photographs merely for filling up empty space and adding a "modern" appearance; ● Difficulty faced by students in the elimination of the odd options in tasks, with a preference for selecting humorous and unconventional choices, resulting from a strong desire to avoid mundane "correct" answers.
  • 3. ● Strict adherence to a course framework, resulting in educators’ negative reactions, especially when students struggle with exercises that teachers have nearly memorized; ● Textbooks becoming the sole tools utilized by teachers, along with dull PowerPoint slides containing visually jumbled materials and resulting in a loss of students’ interest and motivation; ● Lack of creativity or attention grabbers in exercises with predesigned correct answers; ● The failure of a vast majority of online ESL resources to meet even minimum design standards, often incorporating Word Art from Word 97, Comic Sans et c. PROBLEMS OF MODERN COURSEWARE
  • 4. ● Excessive formalism and instructiveness of textbooks and tests; ● The dominance of sterile and "safe" topics; ● Fatigue among teachers due to the rigidly defined structure of textbooks and repetitiveness of just a dozen of themes year after year; ● Copyright violations, source link omission, and poor design of content created and shared by teachers on major platforms; ● Communicative approach, causing a restriction on freedom of speech, prompting experts to suggest replacing it with systematic language teaching. However, the latter is currently almost absent. PROBLEMS OF MODERN COURSEWARE
  • 5. ● The current labor market has placed a greater emphasis on creativity skills, which can be attributed in part to the modern PISA test that assesses creative thinking abilities; ● Most cognitive function improvement materials prioritize neurobics, neglecting exercises that enhance creativity, abstract thinking, and higher-order thinking; ● Trainees exhibit low resistance to premature closure, i.e., they struggle to remain open and to avoid jumping to conclusions hastily; ● Absence of sustainable cross-platform resources that can be equally practiced as a board game, without Internet Access. PROBLEMS IN CREATIVITY DEVELOPMENT
  • 6. SOLUTION ● A regularly-updated platform with hundred thousands of randomized tasks intended for different levels and goals; ● Unique integrative thinking exercises, suited not only for learners of English as a foreign language, but also for native English speakers willing to improve their improvisation skills and spontaneous speech; ● Non-standard exercises designed as well to evaluate creative abilities of candidates in an interview. Such exercises are not only stress-relieving, but they also allow participants to demonstrate their integrative thinking skills. Grandomastery
  • 7. ● At present, Grandomastery has 36 activity types, each consisting of multiple elements that can be randomized to create unique combinations every time the activity is initiated. With thousands of entries for each element, the platform can generate an infinite number of tasks altogether. ● The entries contain either 100% authentic human-made materials or public domain resources, such as “Random Images”; ● Grandomastery is an ever-growing platform since user-submitted content is regularly reviewed and added; ● New authentic activities appear every month. SOLUTION
  • 8. HOW IT WORKS Random Mode produces infinitely generated activities in random order, depending on preset occurrence ratio (weights) Cycle Mode initiates a finite cycle, generated from all (currently) 45 types of unique activities.
  • 9. HOW IT WORKS ● Grandomastery emphasizes the principle of bisociation, which involves connecting different planes, such as art, science, and humor; ● Bisociation occurs when seemingly incompatible planes overlap unexpectedly; ● The platform aims to remove constraints and encourage participants to consider various phenomena that often include negative, neglected or avoided social constructs; ● Activities can be completed on the phone, desktop, smart TV, or projector. The responses could be recorded using inbuilt audio recorder; ● While MVPs often have rudimentary or limited content, Grandomastery, as an MPP (Minimal Perfect Product), provides materials that allow for uninterrupted task completion for thousands of hours with versatile unpredictable fun content.
  • 10. Spectrogram, available on every activity page, is a game designed to help participants take control of their pauses and eliminate plague words during monologue narration. The game has five difficulty levels that correspond to the allowed pause duration, and if a pause is too long, a "Game Over" dialogue appears. This game has proved highly beneficial for students who want to practice IELTS and TOEFL speaking tasks on their own. HOW IT WORKS
  • 11. USP & MARKET VALIDATION ● Unpredictable serendipitous results, conducive to ad-hoc discoveries; ● As a kind of vade-mecum, Grandomastery aims at providing a resource for those interested in practising and teaching integrative, productive, and higher-order thinking; ● Students are no longer expected to assume the responsibilities of instructional designers from the very first stage of language learning; ● It is inherent in learners to create their own unique verbal works of art and not just copy what already exists; ● Users tend to perform unstandardized tasks in a funny, absurd, and eccentric manner — turning grandomastery activities into an insightful learning experience.
  • 12. USP & MARKET VALIDATION ● Grandomastery's activities are presented without visual clutter; ● Grandomastery content has been developed by a human, not AI, thus it guarantees maximum relevance, yet it could be enriched using AI if necessary, thus the project will never be fully replaced with AI.; ● Relevant visuals are only used when absolutely necessary; ● Grandomastery activities include supporting structures for students to boosttheir cohesion.; ● The activities are designed to avoid unwanted repetitiveness in training; ● Grandomastery serves as a complementary educational and entertaining tool which may as well be a “filling” exercise in the classroom, it may take as much or as little time as necessary and it doesn’t interfere with traditional courseware.
  • 13. ● Grandomastery, as an accredited CPD platform, grants certificates to our experts, trainees, partners, educators, and active members; ● accredible.com service is used, allowing instructors to upload the Grandomastery certificates they register with Grandomastery.com on linkedin and other social media sites with a single click; ● Grandomastery has shown that edutainment is not always about gamification, it is not always about online awards, animated effects, and augmented reality; ● Simultaneous first-time viewing of an activity by the teacher and student reduces the disparity in their perceptions of the displayed information; ● Grandomastery facilitates the teacher's understanding of the student's perspective.

  • 27. Grandomastery is an impressive way to take advantage of using your vital experience as an adult to take advantage of what you are good at, or to try to improve on the parts you are not especially good at, as a way of improving not only your language but your skills as a whole. Tip for the users when they get stuck with an exercise: this kind of exercise is very similar to those actors use for improvising: "Never be afraid of building connections and avoid trying to build only those that may sound 'right' for the majority". "Right for everyone" doesn't exist and is very uninteresting. As long as they are saying things that make sense in a language, everything else is always possible and beautiful. Plus, the best creations come from things that didn't make any sense at first. These are exercises only for them. And things get much funnier the craziest we leave them to be. The freer they let themselves be, the better connections they will build. Day after day, the connections are built until words, sentences and paragraphs resonate in their everyday life. This resonation is the real trigger. I think Grandomastery is exactly that, a tool to build a resonation. Cristina Navales, Scenes of Life Founder USER TESTIMONIALS
  • 28. I recently tried out the Grandomastery platform and was pleasantly surprised. At first glance, the site's design is unremarkable compared to the visually stunning materials we're used to seeing. However, the site's content is a true gem for those who are ready to engage in critical and creative thinking. The platform features only two buttons, RANDOM and CYCLE, but they provide users with unexpected and extraordinary tasks that have no right or wrong answers. Instead, users are encouraged to answer in a way that pleases them. I find this approach very inspiring and often find myself returning to the platform to press the buttons and marvel at the creativity of the tasks. One of the obvious benefits of Grandomastery is that there's no need to prepare for the tasks since they're all random. In fact, it's impossible to prepare for them. Vera Ermolaeva, ESL Expert USER TESTIMONIALS
  • 29. I am an EFL teacher, teacher trainer and manager with over 17-years' experience in the industry. I started using Grandomastery early this year in some of my higher level EFL classes and found it to be a fantastic learning tool. If you have a B2 – C1 level class, then this website is ideal, especially if you are looking for an interactive, communicative and fun learning aid, that doesn’t require much preparation. I often use it at the end of class as a filler and the students go crazy for it; it really helps to finish the lesson on a high note. However, if you have time, I recommend going through the different games/activities of which there are currently 37, as some of them lend themselves to specific grammar, functional language etc., and therefore you can use the tool to practise and review the target language from your lessons. I’ve found that not only do the activities engage my students, but they also give them the opportunity to produce language at length on random topics and in doing so boosts their confidence and increases fluency. In addition, it helps students to be more creative and improves their analytical thinking, which some students from more traditional learning environments can struggle with. Some of the activities are great for IELTS part 2 speaking practice, allowing for delayed feedback at the end of the game. Teachers can even use the website as a needs analysis tool, which is especially useful when getting to know the strengths and weaknesses of a new class or student. In fact, for more confident teachers, it could even be used as an intro to a Dogme style lesson. Grandomastery is a highly innovative and flexible learning tool that really does help students and teachers alike. I like it so much that I have incorporated it into my classroom and online lessons on a daily basis and I strongly encourage other teachers, be it new to teaching or old hands, to do the same. Richard Smyth, EFL Teacher USER TESTIMONIALS
  • 30. Dear Alexander Popov, This website is... more than awesome. I will share it with my colleagues. I think with Grandomastery you have made a lot of teachers' life a lot easier - and of course, making a lot of games around pub tables possible. :D P.S: You have developed this website (I mean, the algorithm and the content and the idea) ALONE? Wow. Shows an abundance of creativity and hard work. Noémi Dolinka (Influencer, Language expert) USER TESTIMONIALS
