“…Blockchain literature therefore favours technical knowledge and innovation in higher education. A better coordination between universities in sharing educational resources [ 35 ], experimentation [ 9 ] and new creative solutions [ 2 , 12 , 32 ], for example, is suggested. It is a new technology able to bring up improvements in what comes to managing information, while ensuring its privacy and authenticity for all stakeholders, in particular HEIs and students, which are considered central actors in the at once organizational and technological process.…”

Blockchain has emerged as an important concept at the interface of ICT and higher education. It is a system in which a record of transactions is maintained across several computers that are linked in a peer-to-peer network. Hence, it allows the creation of a decentralized environment, where data are not under the control of any third-party organization. This study presents a Systematic Bibliometric Literature Review (LRSB in further text) of research on blockchain applications in the higher education field. The review integrated 37 articles presenting up-to-date knowledge on current implications pertaining to the use of blockchain technology for improving higher education processes. The LRSB findings indicate that blockchain is being used to build up new interventions to improve the prevailing ways of sharing, delivering and securing knowledge data and personal student records. The application of blockchain technology is carrying on a conceptual progress in the higher education sector where it has added substantial value by ameliorated efficiency, effectiveness, privacy control, technological improvement and security of data management mechanisms. Challenges posed by current literature and further research directions are suggested.

“…By implementing a permissioned blockchain technique, the security of auditing exam papers can be enhanced tremendously by using trusted ledgers. Mitchell, Hara and Sheriff [38] developed a decentralized application for an examination review called "dAppER." This system was designed by taking into account the quality assurance standards when disturbing exam papers among external examiners.…”

Recently, blockchain technology has gained considerable attention from researchers and practitioners. This is mainly due to its unique features including decentralization, security, reliability, and data integrity. Despite this growing interest, little is known about the current state of knowledge and practice regarding the use of blockchain technology in education. This article is a systematic review of research investigating blockchain-based educational applications. It focuses on three main themes: (1) educational applications that have been developed with blockchain technology, (2) benefits that blockchain technology could bring to education, and (3) challenges of adopting blockchain technology in education. A detailed results analysis of each theme was conducted as well as an intensive discussion based on the findings. This review also offers insight into other educational areas that could benefit from blockchain technology.
