Blockchain for education

With blockchain technology, the future of education has arrived, allowing educators to focus on teaching and students to focus on learning by reducing administrative burdens.

Key challenges for the education industry

The growing demand for data processing and storage, as well as infrastructure and data security concerns, have led to increasing administrative costs and burdens for educational institutions. Meanwhile, stakeholders are expecting greater ease of use, integration, and accessibility. Educational entities must find ways to balance these requirements:

Administration

The growing complexity of organizational structures, partnerships, and larger data sets requires more time-consuming and costly administrative work.

User Expectations

Stakeholders have high expectations for the features and functionality of educational systems, influenced by the options available to consumers. Education entities must also comply with additional compliance and security requirements.

Data Security

Educational institutions hold sensitive data on staff, students, and other stakeholders, which is at risk of being targeted by malicious actors.

Infrastructure Management

Internet of Things (IoT) technology offers the potential for entities to manage campus utilities, such as electricity, water, and appliances, as well as track and alert students. However, fragmented campus infrastructure does not provide transparency, rapid data access, or protection against fraud.

Staff & Student Identification

The verification of staff and student identities is a fragmented process, involving manual record-checking and management that consumes a significant amount of administrative resources.

Handling Data

The process of handling data, from manual document verification to data entry and retrieval across systems, is inefficient, time-consuming, and costly.

Using blockchain technology to enhance communication in the education sector.

Blockchain technology enables direct peer-to-peer interactions between educational institutions and individuals by removing intermediaries.

Blockchain applications in education

Blockchain technology can automate, accelerate, and innovate the education sector by reducing manual data entry and handling, simplifying administration, improving responsiveness to staff and student needs, and enabling secure real-time data storage and retrieval across devices. With blockchain, educational entities can unlock the potential of IoT, streamline operations, and improve efficiency.

Document Verification

Employ tamper-proof distributed data storage and retrieval on blockchain to automate the verification of transcripts, staff resumes, and other documents.

Single Person View

Create a single identity accessible by multiple apps and admins to solve HR issues, verify employment histories, and give students seamless resource access and identity.

IoT Security for Infrastructure

Use decentralized encryption that resists hacking and data loss to prevent attacks on cameras, card readers, and other campus infrastructure.

Record-Keeping

Automatically update and immutably store records on the blockchain, ensuring that they can be checked and shared but not tampered with, stolen, or lost.

Resource Management

Balance the demands of energy, water, and other resources with blockchain applications that draw on multiple encrypted databases in real-time.

Accreditation and Authentication

Add class credits to student identities instantly, and securely apply payments across the institution and partners with blockchain technology.

Blockchain in education: solutions

Blockchain technology has the potential to address existing challenges faced by educational institutions, such as financial, data security, coordination, and administrative concerns. However, it also offers new opportunities for educational institutions, staff, faculty, and students that were not possible before.

Decentralized Learning

Leverage blockchain-based decentralized learning hubs that automatically deliver course content, assess results, confer certifications, and establish student records.

Smart Contracts for Course Delivery

Use smart contracts based on Ethereum or EOS to certify courses and classes and trigger student payments upon course completion in a trustless manner.

Internal Economies

Enable students to make purchases for items, courses, and classes throughout the institution's ecosystem, including partners, accommodation, and more with blockchain technology.
