Abstract

Blockchain is a decentralized and shared distributed ledger that records the transaction history done by totally different nodes within the whole network. The technology is practically used in the field of education for record-keeping, digital certification, etc. There have already been several papers published on this, but no one can't find a single paper covering the blockchain-based educational projects. So, There is a gap of latest trends to education. Blockchain-based educational projects resolve the issues of today's educators. On that basis, we conclude that there is a need for conducting a systematic literature review. This study, therefore, reviews the artistic gap between these two based on educational projects. For this purpose, the paper focuses on exploring some block-chain based projects and protocols that are used in these projects. It also analyses the block-chain features that are being used and the services are offered by the existing educational projects using block-chain features to improve the execution of this technology in education.

The Main Areas of the Blockchain Technology Using in Educational Management
Iryna Mihus

ECONOMICS, FINANCE AND MANAGEMENT REVIEW

The article is devoted to the study of scientific research of scientists from around the world on the use of blockchain technologies in education. The purpose of the article is to systematize the areas of possible use of blockchain technologies in the activities of universities. In the process of preparation of the article the methods of analysis and synthesis, the method of generalization and the comparative method were used. As a result of the research, the main directions of using blockchain technologies in education were systematized: to check the level of accreditation of the university; to identify students at the university; for the organization of the educational process; for lifelong learning; to protect intellectual property; to pay for tuition; to provide loans to students; to verify the authenticity of the issued document on education; for professional education of adults; to rank universities when they receive grant funding. We believe that blockchain technologies in education should use only open sources of information, which will allow them to be used by all stakeholders. At the same time, it is necessary to comply with all the necessary rules for the protection of personal data provided by the laws of different countries. The combination of openness of information and protection of personal data is a major problem that currently faces the possibility of more active use of blockchain technology in education.

BLOCKCHAIN IN EDUCATION: INTRODUCTION AND CRITICAL REVIEW OF THE STATE OF THE ART
Jordi Adell Segura, Antonio Bartolomé, Linda Castañeda

The Blockchain is spreading its influence beyond the field of digital currency to other areas. Also in education, although shyly, appear some applications of it, even if the majority of them have a pilot character. Nevertheless, those piloting and-some big-expectations around them, are raising the lead to some questions regarding what exactly is that technology, what is it used for, how would this be used in education as well as, what opportunities, challenges and risks, represents. This state of art attempts to provide references and links that help to know better and reflect about this new technology, as well as to contribute starting the indispensable debate about how education would implement this, and in what terms. RESUMEN La tecnología de las cadenas de bloques (blockchain) abandonan el terreno de la moneda digital para invadir otros campos. También en Educación, aunque muy tímidamente, aparecen aplicaciones todavía con un carácter piloto. Pero las expectativas que están levantando llevan a plantearse qué es esa tecnología, para qué se usa, cómo podría aprovecharse en Educación y que oportunidades y qué amenazas puede suponer. El análisis del estado de la cuestión aprovecha para proporcionar numerosas referencias y enlaces que deben llevar a conocer y reflexionar sobre esta nueva tecnología.

Blockchain technology in education: The perspective, challenges, and concerns
sunny seth

Open Access Research Journal of Engineering and Technology

Blockchain technology has altered the way transactions are conducted since its introduction. It offers a risk-free and secure way to exchange digital currency that is impervious to manipulation by those with bad intentions. In blocks that store the data, it stores all transactional data. The best example of decentralized, systematic data collection is blockchain technology. By storing the block in many locations across a distributed network arrangement, it offers a public ledger system that combines public key encryption of all transactions to solve the double spending problem, making change impossible and therefore more secure. This article explores the usefulness and benefits of Blockchain technology compared to traditional data management by outlining its fundamental concepts and how it has been adopted in different industries. The writers also discuss the factors that led to the adoption of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as well as the shift to a decentralized crypto ledger....

Blockchain Arhitecture in Smart Pedagogy
Andis Āriņš

2019

Blockchain architecture in Smart Pedagogy offers valuable social propositions like trust, identity, transparency, immutability, smart contracts and disintermediation. There are multiple practices how to record learners' achievements and present learning transcripts where the most common practices are university issued diplomas and vendor issued certificates. There are social networks which allow users to publish their learning achievements for possible stakeholders; however, the common problem is to verify if published diplomas and certificates are valid. This study experiments with lifelong learning transcript called knowledge passport in blockchain architecture. The proposed scenario allows learners to publish evidence of their learning achievements in desired formats connected with blockchain network for instant authenticity verification. The experimental network consists of three nodes where one is located in Latvia, the second-in the USA, and the third-in Asia. Based on the proposed implementation, such approach much better validates learning evidence, eliminates knowledge passport fraud and reduces organizational workload overhead for stakeholders involved in verification of documents certifying a person's knowledge.

Blockchain in Education: A Systematic Review and Practical Case Studies
Friday J . Agbo

IEEE Access

The advent of blockchain technology over the last decade has led to the development of multiple use-cases of decentralization in various fields including education. This paper presents a unique bibliometric and qualitative analysis of the blockchain in education with novel contributions on temporal development, emerging themes and practical case studies on adoption and integration with existing educational technologies. We focus on identifying the major actors in the space, demographic participation and adoption, current hot topics, grey areas, and potential areas for innovation. Our analysis shows that while the blockchain has been around for about 13 years, blockchain in education only became prominent 5 years ago. This research also reveals that most of the efforts have been focused on reporting and verifying academic certificates and transcripts: only very few research focused on reporting and connecting in-depth academic records such as learning behaviour logs, learning contents and assessment data. This calls for concern as current education blockchain systems do not consider interoperability at the blockchain level and the heterogeneous nature in which institutes create and consume academic data. Finally, we present discussions on the implications of our findings, potential solutions and aspects of education blockchain research that can help to improve educational outcomes for various stakeholders.
