“…The e-learning paradigm is a development of the 1980s distance learning style of education [6]. In the ongoing global lockdown due to the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID- 19) pandemic, e-learning has proved to be the only choice for ongoing learning [7]. Every university in the world has now invested extensively in e-learning, and many traditional classroom-based classes have changed to e-learning [8,9].…”

“…Advancements in digital and communication technology (ICT) have resulted in major improvements in all related areas. To ensure its long-term viability, ICT has embraced emerging paradigms such as cloud computing [10,11], Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) [12], the internet of things [13], big data [14,15], e-learning [1], social networking [16,17], and blockchain [18,19]. New platforms, products, systems, and facilities have emerged as a result of these ICT-driven developments [20].…”

The aim of this study was to fill the gap in the literature on e-learning acceptance and its role in the sustainability of learning and the role of task-technology fit (TTF), which influences student satisfaction and academic performance. While researchers have examined e-learning acceptance in a variety of contexts, the role of TTF as a mediating variable in measuring education sustainability has not been explored using the technology acceptance model (TAM). As a result, the goal of this study was to develop a new paradigm by combining two theories: TFF and the TAM. In total, 432 students and researchers from public universities participated in this study. We surveyed students using the structural equation modelling (SEM) approach to learn about their expectations with regard to e-learning adoption. According to the findings, perceived ease of use has a positive impact on perceived enjoyment and usefulness, which in turn has a positive impact on task–technology fit and e-learning use in higher education, resulting in a positive impact on student satisfaction and academic performance as well as sustainability. Finally, the role of task-technology fit and e-learning usage in education sustainability had a positive effect on student satisfaction and learning performance. As a result, the use of e-learning in learning processes should be encouraged as a long-term strategy in higher education institutions.

The blockchain can resolve these issues and provides data access to universities in permissionsless or permissioned (private permissioned -loop) such as peers control access described by [25]. Peers control access model discussed and adopted worldwide by large organization and private consortiums.…”

The aim of this paper is to review the blockchain technology and its benefits in relations to education system. Blockchain technology is widely researched and highly evaluated and appraised for its unique infrastructure. In general, blockchain researched for its association with Bitcoin and cryptocurrency advantages. In this survey the plan is to conduct a full review of previous literatures focused on blockchain in education systems. Provide overall reviews of blockchain concepts and architecture behind the technology and to examine verification software that used by the technology to improve security and immutability. Brief discussion on the consensus algorithms and hashing function and how these operate and difference type of blockchain will be discussed. In this survey, the existing technology used in Saudi Arabia will be reviewed. Indepth research conducted for over 70 papers, of which 35 noted in this survey. Blockchain emerging promise a real time democracy and justice to all users over the world. Educational Industries said to revolutionize its communication system and accessibility and extend their market globally by widening their admissions and providing secure cost-effective, transparent and immutable communications across their educational platforms.

With the increasing difficulties associated with heating, the new energy industry has become the mainstay for property development. The effective diffusion of leading technologies supplies a social edge for enterprise core technologies, and this is also a necessary topic for industrial transformation and optimization. Within the international context of energy conservation and emission reduction, the scientific and in-depth study of the diffusion mechanisms underlying leading technologies in the new energy industry have vital theoretical significance for the promotion of the diffusion of leading technologies. Based on the introduction of the Bass model and one extension model, this paper constructs the diffusion model of the new energy industry’s leading technology and analyzes its diffusion mechanism. The identified mechanism indicates that in the case of imperfect market and policy environments, the diffusion of the leading technology of the new energy industry is mainly influenced by the “expected utility” of innovators and the “actual utility” of imitators. The diffusion of the leading technology in innovator enterprises of the new energy industry is mainly affected by the “expected utility,” while the diffusion in imitator enterprises is affected by the “actual utility.” These influences are verified by simulation analysis. Based on the diffusion mechanism, several suggestions are presented for the promotion of the diffusion mechanism of leading technology, with the aim to provide references for the government, industry associations, and enterprises for relevant decision-making.
