“…The assessment of this disruptive technology based framework shows its efficacy when delivering ubiquitous learning environment privacy. The study of J.Guo et al [22] proposed a permission less blockchain based Ethereum network for data protection in online education platforms (such as MOOCs). The proposed system also provide solution to a series of challenges in digital rights management, such as the insecurity of digital certificates and low degree of openness of multimedia learning resources.…”

The conventional education system in developing countries has been enhanced recently by implementing the latest technology of distributed ledger. Disruptive technology is a fundamental requirement for greater accountability and visibility. We explored the key factors affecting the intentions of educational institutions to use blockchain technology for e-learning. This study proposed an expanded model of Technology Acceptance Model by integrating the diffusion of innovation theory. Based on an online survey, the conceptual model was tested and validated using structural equation modeling. The results showed that compatibility had a significant impact on blockchain use in smart learning environments. Other significant effects were also found on adoption of blockchain technology. This study offers an expanded Technology Acceptance Model for implementing blockchain that could assist decision makers in building a smart learning environment for the educational institutes for the emerging economies.

“…They showed that machine-learning techniques not only improve the service quality but also the system performance in terms of course recommendations, learner evaluation, and content management. Considering the fact that collaborative knowledge generation, predictions, fusion, storage, and sharing are performed by multitier computing capabilities from the edge to the cloud, Guo et al focused on security for online education in [19]. To secure the environment for sensitive and personal data exchange in online learning, emerging blockchain technology was exploited.…”

Amid the recent disease outbreaks that have been spreading across the world, the education systems in every country have witnessed a dramatic transformation. In particular, the situation has promoted online learning on an unprecedented scale, with classes being held virtually on digital platforms. This vital transformation is a major challenge in developing countries where information infrastructure for remote learning is lacking. Inspired by these observations, this study first investigated the obstacles in the way of the deployment of smart education systems (SESs) in developing countries from a technical perspective. Consequently, a detachable SES framework, named vSmartEdu, is proposed. The framework is based on a hybrid online/offline web-service model, which adopts a service-based architecture (SBA) design concept to develop smart classrooms. In particular, the online mode is activated for a web-based classroom if an Internet service is available. In contrast, the offline-version of the system is available in offline mode in packaged form, and is utilized when the Internet is not available in a local classroom. Finally, a prototype was deployed to collect feedback from learners and educators at various educational levels. The trial implementation and survey results concretely validate the feasibility and advantages of the proposed solution.

Emergence and development of the blockchain technology, which is able to transform into "a most powerful disruptive innovation", shall definitely concern universities. Moreover, nowadays the blockchain technology meets the challenges that both the system of higher education and the entire society are currently facing. Advantages of the blockchain technology are decentralized open data, absence of forgeries, safe storage of information, and reduction of transaction expenses related to data checkup, control, and verification. This paper provides a critical analysis of application of the blockchain technology considering with its applicability opportunities and restrictions in education; it also aims to identify the consequences of its influence upon the development of education. The article analyzes real cases when this technology was applied, with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) as an example. The MIT applied it to protect and validate the certificates that it issued. Another example is the Sony Global Education that forms individual data on its trainees' competencies and productivity; a third one relates to the University of Nicosia, which was the first to use smart contracts and accept cryptocurrency as a form of payment. The paper also considers the elements of the blockchain technology at universities (both in Russia and outside it), which participate in massive open online courses. It determines the scope of application of this technology in the Russian educational system. In addition, this article provides a literature review related to application of the blockchain technology; the review includes works by such renowned researchers as D. Tapscott, B. Bleir, A. Watters, A. Grech, A. Camilleri, M. Swan, A. Zaslavsky, etc. The paper analyzes the obtained findings of the survey that its authors have conducted among experts, professors, and specialists involved in accreditation. Thus, the paper provides an analysis of opportunities and restrictions related to application of the blockchain technology in higher education.
