Blockchain technologies in the educational sector. Results of the initial data collection
The education system is subject to an ongoing digital transformation. The administrative
departments should be able to handle grading, admissions, enrolments and recognition of
certificates securely and quickly. Course managers should not only have faith in e-learning but also
in e-assessment. And finally, learners should be able to access course material from anywhere and
take exams outside the institutes where they are enrolled. Immutability to changes made
retroactively seem to make Blockchain systems the perfect technology to secure data and in
combination with digital signatures for identity verification, Blockchain could become the key to
digital transformation in education. The paper ‘Blockchain technologies in the educational sector
Results of the initial data collection‘ gives a first insight into the level of knowledge of people
involved and shows which possibilities Blockchain Technologies could bring to the education
sector. Or, more precisely, it shows in which existing applications within the educational system
Blockchain Technology should be integrated.peer-reviewe
