Can blockchain technology help universities and colleges?

I think all sectors can enjoy Blokchain technology, but until now it is still an exploratory and / or experimental initiative. For example blockchain is intended to validate diploma data. Another example application is students get access to control and ownership of all their education, accreditation and work portfolio data, in a safe place that is accessible to anyone who needs to verify it and this is valid for their whole life. Blockchain technology can help improve old data management models and bring benefits to students and educational institutions such as universities and colleges.

Besides bitcoin payments, I don't really know to be honest. Blockchains are quite slow. I think "blockchain for universities" would mostly be like the case of most Ethereum ERC20 projects whereas these projects doesn't even need to have a cryptocurrency(or to even use a blockchain to start with).

For payment system maybe yes. But outside this area, I am thinking if there is an advantage for it. Schools are an active institution for learning and the idea of blockchain is more appropriate on business sector or innovation firm where blockchain can be more suited and be more helpful. I'm not saying it can replace other areas such as banking, financial loans etc. Maybe for tuition fees they can used blockchain as alternative payment aside from normal cash, credit card or check. By these they have more outlet for convenience of their students that are into crypto payments.

Actually Colleges and Universities can follow blockchain to safe students data for next coming years. After academic degree students go their work place but some hacker group can target  academic certificates of students. Here blockchain play a vital role to safe their certificates and information.

Every college an universities has big Library and lots of information that may hack also anytime. But if here use blockchain technology it can be more secure.

So i think in this way in education sector can be apply blockchain for their activities.

Not only the university but the world in general. It will help students more though because it will create job as soon as students graduate, they can get job since a section in blockchain will already be open for employment. It will also make more people to understand the blockchain technology and the uses. It will grow the digital business more.

This is the wrong approach.

You are thinking like this: "I found a solution. Now let's find a problem that fits this solution".

it is the other way around. I have seen a question like yours several times: "How can I apply blockchain here?"

This is not the correct approach, instead try to think "I have this problem. Which tools are able to do that?"

Sometimes Google could give you best and multiple answers. When I Google your question then found this article besides of soo many answers, How Blockchain Will Transform Higher Education  (https://www.processmaker.com/resources/customer-success/blog/how-blockchain-will-transform-higher-education/). Here you will found the possible use of blockchain technology about university & colleges. We know that some of sectors trying to use blockchain technology, and I believe day by day it will increse.

Blockchain ar like database and every system today is using database including universities and colleges. I find it very dangerous to use blockchain though because the records are immutable and if its publicly available it's not going to be good for someone with negative records.

I really think it will do more than that.
 Just take a look around every sector which the Blockchain has entered, it has revolutionized them.

 It will be a big advantage to our universities and colleges

Basically, Blockchain is probably available to be adopted for every sector industry and terms in this world. However, it will depend on the purpose of adoption that will be influential or not, will be a real case or not.

I have read some articles about the benefits of blockchain for universities or how blockchain help universities or college. Theoretically, the blockchain will help universities mostly probably for:

"Record-keeping"
From what I read, the most use case of blockchain technology for universities is using it for record-keeping. Blockchain can be used for credential verification for the colleges or universities in a large scope. In this case, the university may have a trusted and advanced blockchain platform to verify the identity of their students or graduates from any place, around the world. It is done by using the technical integration of blockchain technology. The university can provide the blockchain platform for document verification to verify students' identity details, data, academic records, certificates, recruitment process, and also other records. The platform is probably also connected to other institutions such as the government, other colleges, banks, corporates, publishers, and other parties. of course, it may be differentiated from the menu of intern data. But at least, there are other menus provided for the features.

The scheme:
https://i.imgur.com/8jnBdHl.png?1

By using this record-keeping, they will give some advantages:
1. reduce paper uses
2. More effective and efficient
3. Can be accessed easier by students or graduates, lecturers, and other parties in relation to the record and activities
4. Anti-fraud protection

However, in this case, the developer must ensure the security of the platform because it will include all data or records that are very crucial and sensitive. Without a high-security system, it will mean less.

Actually, there are still some benefits theoretically of the blockchain for universities. However, the problem now is that can this really occur and run well? What kind of universities suitable for using this kind of blockchain platform? Can it be really effective?

I think it can, but it costs a lot, and this is certainly still a major factor. Just look at the current university as a business field so see how the advantages and disadvantages compare to the university. Blokchain technology is still a lot of many people undertand, so that it requires blokchain experts with large costs to build it. So right now I think it's still in the research phase. Even though I've heard a lot about education-based ICO projects, but it seems to fail.

Isn't it just pushing the idea even though there's no need to? I mean, blockchain technology is basically a database. A collection of data. And besides, I don't think there's a need for a decentralized system of records, especially in the case of students of universities where possible changes may need to be done. And in all honesty, a centralized system seems way more efficient imo. Even if we do take into account other organizations joining in a centralized system such as the government and private businesses, a cooperative centralized system would still be the same. Or maybe a public organization responsible for the accumulation of every record accumulated.

Using blockchain as database for records take much time, money and effort, why spend it on universities when you can do the same with other capable database servers, my take on this is that having the records locked in encryption pretty much makes records keeping a difficult thing to do, and to say that to make it safe is pretty far fetch, who would attack universities for monetary purposes? I am sure there will be someone but the chances are very low. We could better utilize block chain technology through finance and market industry because these involve money that is likely to attract unwanted attention.

Yes.
These Universities that started adding blockchain to their curriculum sees a career in it and that's good for their students. It's a win-win for them and also to their students. They can insert the technology as a course to those students that sees themselves as aspiring blockchain developers. One study in LinkedIn was shown that many companies were looking for that specific developer.

Why not? Blockchain technology is broad and offers solution to many fields. Now health, education, finance etc are utilizing this technology to provide contemporary services to clients. One South African school has inculcated this into their educational curriculum. And this is a good step. 

I believe the thread is largely about a different thing. It's not education related to Blockchain, it's about applying blockchain in education. I'm sure there are projects that offer some use cases, but it's hard to say whether it is indeed efficient to, say, keep records or verify diplomas via blockchain. Instead, I agree with you that the main connection between blockchain and universities should be the universities offering courses or even degrees on Blockchain. It's a hard skill in high demand, but one can barely find an institution to learn it, so this is what they should focus on. Blockchain is a great technology, but one should try to put it into use at every place possible.

That could be the other use and help that blockchain technology can provide for universities and colleges. The question made by op isn't clear so that's how I came up with my answer. There's already an answer about what you have said and that's why I think some other ideas could also be a nice idea. I won't mention the online learning platforms that offer this course because some might not consider them because it's just about universities and colleges. It's hard to find those schools but here are probably some of them but there's a connection to accounting.
10+ UNIVERSITIES OFFERING BLOCKCHAIN COURSES (https://www.accounting-degree.org/college-cryptocurrency-blockchain-courses/)

Over the past few years, blockchain technology has gained a huge amount of fame and all this is due to its cybersecurity features. Currently, there are various industries taking security in a serious way including healthcare, finance and education. Not many people know that the potential usage of blockchain is far more than the current application and it can really make a huge difference in the classroom too.

Like other sectors, education is important and there are areas within this one that can be improved using advanced technology. The market for education is developing in a fast-paced manner and it is somewhat estimated to reach around 95 billion by the end of 2020. Already various tools like personalized learning and virtual reality along with AI is making a huge improvement in giving out the best learning outcomes of kids.

There are many applications and benefits of blockchain-based ledger technologies for education:

1) Record And Data Of Students – Well, academic transcripts are the major and time-consuming tasks in most of the academic institutions. Before issuing a certified transcript of a student’s grades, each entry must be manually verified to ensure accuracy.

Another kind of student record that is frequently requested is the certification of course contents. In K-12 education, a student in one state takes a class called ‘Algebra’ and then moves to another state where he or she is enrolled in a school that also teaches a class called ‘Algebra.’

 So far, so good. But do both these courses share the same content? Verifying this means comparing the courses’ content. In K-12, this can be tedious. At the university level, it is a nightmare. For each student who requests this record, each page should be signed and stamped (to ensure accuracy). But if this information were stored on a blockchain, with just a few clicks, a person could obtain a complete, verified record of content courses and all academic achievements.

2. Diplomas and certificates - Just like grades, a student’s diplomas and credentials could be issued and stored on a blockchain. Instead of asking the institution emitting the diploma to certify a paper copy, employers would only need to be provided with a link to a digital diploma. This is already being done. In 2017, MIT began issuing digital, blockchain-stored diplomas to its graduates. This prevents people from submitting fake degrees to potential employers, a situation that is, regrettably, all too common. Also, blockchain companies like Authlink (https://authlink.com/) have started to provide such services to various clients in India and the US.

3. Badges - Besides degrees, a person’s typical resume contains a lot of additional information that could be relevant to employers. We’re talking about foreign language skills, technical knowledge, or specific abilities not necessarily related to a person’s profession.

Well, these skills aren’t easy to verify. But a person can get an expert third party to verify that skill and grant a certificate or badge. If these are stored on a blockchain, they prove that a person indeed has the skills in question. Services like Open Badge Passport are the first step in this direction.

4. Lessons and courses - Many blockchain are also smart-contract capable. That means that lessons and courses can be programmed into the blockchain and executed automatically when certain conditions are met. For example, a teacher could set up tasks for students. The completion of each task could be automatically verified by the blockchain’s smart contracts. Upon completion of all tasks, teachers could receive payment with crypto tokens and students could be awarded credits. Entire courses could be laid out this way.

Just like other technologies, programming languages, blockchain technology can also help universities and college to better understand big data analysis, modelling, and mathematical computing. features like POS, POW and so on can further be improved by continuous study of the blockchain technology in Schools. Blockchain technology are being combined with Artificial Intelligence and Augmented reality. Many schools in Cyprus and other European countries are now offering scholarship for individual for research in blockchain technology https://www.findaphd.com/phds/project/phd-studentship-for-a-blockchain-project-lightweight-blockchain-consensus-algorithm-for-resource-constrained-iot-devices/?p112657 

yeah blockchain has two meaning . one is wallet and one is technology   . your right anyway  . two use of blockchain will be helpful in universities but there are other wallets too that are good not just blockchain and you cant force students to use blockhain wallet  all the time   .

  blockchain tech is not bundled with the blockchain wallet but both only have same name   .  blockchain technology is still the most important because this is where it tackles everything in cryptography    .

Blockchain has nothing to do with big data or computing, certainly not in a way that can contribute to them. It's a freaking database pattern, have you ever heard about MySQL contributing to "mathematical computing"?


PoW and PoS aren't features, they are the cornerstones of public blockchain networks like cryptocurrencies. And you can't improve them by making more kids study them.

Today some of the universities having trouble into the world of storing the information of the history and transactions of their student still then ate using the traditional way which is the cabinet file system and it takes a lot of years they store that information because all of the details and record of the students are important. Also, some of the universities accept seminars about the cryptocurrency and blockchain and I'm one of the participants of this event it gives a lot of benefits but the problem is the school takes a lot of time and decisions about this kind of process because they need to manage all of the information of the students also they have the use of database management system so they will not adopt the use of the blockchain still there is a chance they will use the cloud save and the blockchain because it is more helpful and efficient also in terms of backup files and security of it is more favorable to the users.

Blockchain offers a decentralized solution as its very faster and more secure and it offers a greater transparency and security to the university. If an accountant student can add Blockchain experience in resume.
Some of the universities are
CORNELL UNIVERSITY, DUKE UNIVERSITY, MIT UNIVERSITY, AND PRINCETON UNIVERSITY etc., students get more job opportunities once they finish their graduation.

Hmm Blockchain proves us the secure and ease of storing data and accessing it. Universities can be at an advantage with Blockchain maybe through record keeping of students, employees, employer, and other affiliates' personal data and information. It could also help with the school's program especially those in partnership with a big sponsor or other large universities. It could also protect the universities' transaction and students can keep track of where their money goes to. It can be examined though. But for me, Blockchain is not a top priority when it comes to universities.

     I think that blockchain technology should be studied in universities. It's the right educational study rank because this technology is quite difficult. Although there are many other more complete and efficient databases than the blockchain, I think carefully studied, the blockchain can be developed by these future graduates and can revolutionize the world.

If we are talking about blockchain being the university's supply chain, that would be great. Imagine if there are digital certificates that are being recorded on the blockchain instead of paper ones. It would be cool for me.

There are some schools in which students are having QR codes in their IDs. They just scan it to confirm their attendance. However, they are not using blockchain yet. It would be useful when they are using blockchain-based QR codes that are tamper-proof and records cannot lie about the student's attendance. Same thing goes to paying tuition fees, etc.

Some universities in Malta, Philippines, etc., have already included blockchain elective courses in their curriculum, and the mass adoption is slowly rising.

Actually at the University of Malta we have specialised Masters programmes on Blockchain:

I have been thinking for a while of how to make a blockchain that can be used in my Univ, my first idea was making a coin internal for the campus, since there (my country/university) has really serious financial problems and cash is almost nonexistent, the idea was to exchange fiat for the coin, be able to use it with the Univ infrastructure and you could cash it out back to fiat anytime too (it's not that simple but a fast way to explain the idea), but speaking with a few professors, they gave me the idea of making it about the student's database and their record.

In my opinion blockchain technology can be used anywhere, including universities and colleagues. Most finance at university not open,
so often a lot of financial abuse. With blockchain technology, financial circulation becomes more transparent. University finance for
scholarships, equipment purchases and construction of university buildings is more on target and avoid from corruption by university
managers.

I have the same opinion, idk maybe I'm a dreamer but for me, the blockchain will be the rule in the future to keep a clean and transparent record of all types, even to the point of political votes, where you can see in real-time how the votes are adding to x or y, still being private of course but in a way that everybody knows that is not cheating.

Top 10 Blockchain Technology University in U.S.

-Stanford
-University of California, Berkeley
-New York University
-Massachusetts Institute of Technology
-Cornell University
-Georgetown University
-Harvard University
-Duke University
-Carnegie Mellon University
-University of Pennsylvania

I am beginning to see more and more educational programs either adding stand alone courses on decentralized computing systems and the power of distributed general ledgers or including a section on cryptocurrencies to existing course curriculum.

There are a lot of benefits of using blockchain technology in state universities. First, we need to engage with the use of the blockchain we all know that these blocks which are contain a lot of information and data which is encrypted and with a piece of high-security information is more effective than the use of the file cabinet system or the old way of storing of the information also we are looking forward to the schools and universities to adopt this kind of changes because it is safer. Also today there are a lot of schools having and accepting a seminar about the use of blockchain and cryptocurrency quite curious right? By that now most of the student on our university is now taking the use the blockchain and the cryptocurrency as a payment which is more convenient to us but the university is still making some movement how to use and adopt this kind of environment because it is not quite popular to the other people the use of the blockchain because they are still on the way of traditional payment which is more hassle and also today we have the pandemic crisis and it is quite hard and not safe to go outside the upcoming enrollment not quite easy they need to go outside and get the requirements just to enroll by the help of the blockchain and online class it is easier to transfer and store that secured information.

I think it is really great if universities started a course about blockchain technology, because students should know about it. The usages of blockchain technology is increasing day by day. Besides cryptocurrency it is widely used to perform smart contracts without human intervention, to control blockchain domain names with a private key, to maintain supply chain logistics, to compile data for sustainable use and many more. I have heard about e-voting system. In 2000, the Arizona Democratic Party adopted a presidential primary using e-voting. Their voting was conducted according to an electronic voting system which was conducted using a blockchain system. Nowadays I have seen interest in blockchain technology among many students, I believe that one day blockchain technology will reign in every sector of the world.

Relating the use of blockchain to political connections, this is what we all thought to have a clean elections. We are predicting that this is going to contribute and give the confidence that elections will have no cheating involved. But, once the powerful authorities learned that blockchain is going to be like this, do you think that they will still be optimistic of adopting the blockchain technology? There might be some of them that wants it and have no intentions to include tricking to the votes but there's always the other side and opposition of those type of politicians.

STEM universities are researching and coping with blockchain technology for a long time ago, that is natural and it's part of their business.
Blockchain could be implemented very widely in different industries and areas and they are trying to find out how and what is the best use of it so they also can make proposals and gudelines for industries and economies.
So, yes, I can agree that blockchain is definetely a future and science will help with that but no one doesn't have exclusive right.on blockchain and that includes crypto industry.

Actually this question is too general. Basically, blockchain technology is very flexible and can be applied in any ecosystem with a database. For the world of education, we see real examples from India that implemented a blockchain to validate diploma data, specifically to avoid diploma falsification among job seekers. This simplifies and speeds up work with a higher level of accuracy. I think information like this will be easier to obtain by using Google  ;)

The question of the OP is too general but blockchain technology can be applied in various industries and education/universities is no exception. Just like what you presented in the India's implementation of blockchain tech in validating the diploma data, that is only one app that they can explore but there are a lot more if you are talking about transparency of data. So yes, blockchain tech will help universities curb fake data and info.

I believe that teaching blockchain is necessary for students who need to have this knowledge for their profession. there is no point in teaching technology in all schools in a row. Any side can follow the example of the United States, where the well-known University of California, Santa Barbara, is already leading certified courses on blockchain and distributed registry technology. Of course, this all happened thanks to the non-profit organization BAF, which is interested in teaching students from the departments of computer science. in any case, with the increase in the introduction of blockchain in various spheres of human life, it will entail a greater demand for specialists and then indisputably specialized educational institutions will make changes to their curriculum, adding to the study of blockchain technology.

Moreover, this technology is very suitable for the future. Many aspects can be combined with blockchain, its many and flexible functions enable the creation of unique new niches. Conventional systems can be improved in effectiveness, thereby saving time, energy, accuracy, and other technical matters.

Likewise in universities or the world of education in general, the adoption of blockchain is very likely to occur. For example to facilitate the validation of diplomas, the authenticity of scientific work, so as to minimize the existence of plagiarism or forgery.

It might be, the way I see this is for storing students' information, transactions to their registrars, and blockchain to support the overall university's system. Especially to make sure that their records will be invulnerable, and reliable just like the way how blockchain helped supply chain systems and cryptocurrency.

There are tons of ways how blockchain could be implemented and I think it might be applicable to universities as well.


Like this, if someone intends to fake his diploma, universities could have a decentralized system to validate the authenticity of the applicants whenever they are applying for jobs.

I think that blockchain technology will always be important, that it will be used for various trading platforms.

That this technology is developed in universities is a good idea, since in countries where this technology is more developed they can develop new features to improve this system, such as improving privacy, speed and perhaps the commissions to use it. We must not forget the implementation of this technology to banks.

In less developed countries, this technology can be very important for solving theft, corruption or possible hacking problems by computer organizations.

 I think that knowledge of Blockchain is a necessity in universities.

There are some post in the past that says there are universities that has Blockchain courses in their schools but in
our country there are only Humors but yet nothing happens.
But for me?this is one of the best innovation schools may have in our time now and i will be glad if my children will
 learn this in universities and colleges .

---

exactly mate,this is very necessary now for all the students in colleges because this is another education that is
very competitive for the next generation people and
 those are our childrens.

Blockchain technology can help almost every sector of the economy, whether it be banks or a fish market. Wherever there is a need of a ledger, blockchain technology can be utilised as in case of universities, they can publish the documents or certificated of students on the blockchain and provide each individual with a private key to access their own documents, in this way there would be less cases of lost documents and stolen documents and also of forgery.
Also more and more universities should include the blockchain training programme in their collages in order to make them more aware of the technical advancements happening in the world.

Blockchain can help universities and colleges in lots of ways, even if it's just for payments, it's going to make payments for services to be a lot easier. And I don't think it's all about payment, there are other ways that Blockchain can be useful in universities, they can use the Blockchain to give control to students and educators over their own information. Instead of having to go through a long process, they will have easy access to their information on the Blockchain. Like I said it doesn't end there, there are lots of things that can be achieved by making use of Blockchain, it all takes time for us to discover them.

Here's some links on universities that do already had that Blockchain included in the curriculum;

   Some schools are using it already! Singapore is one of the advanced countries, many countries are far
behind, including mine. With Blockchain it's not everything about payments, it can be used for many other
things. For me secure access to information from any device is what can help all of us!
   We can't relay on papers and traditional internet security. Blockchain solves that problems, it's why it
will be more used by all in the future.

I studied banking and insurance at my university.
I would like to get blockchain lessons at my university it would be great.
But governments just ignores bitcoin and blockchain its really sad.

I think blockchain technology could help universities from making fast transactions by paying tuitions fees through online without driving yourself to school. Blockchain could not only help universities because it could also help businesses and big companies to make a fast and secure transactions when they are making a deal with other companies or businesses. But the governments in other countries still ignores the benefits of blockchain technology because they are still comfortable with the use of traditional payment systems.

Just my friend surprised me that he is going to have blockchain based elective for his post graduate degree, and then I find this topic but it is talking about implementing blockchain technology for making things efficient in terms of against manipulation and any other data storing problems.

Yes, blockchain technology can improve education in lots of ways. As we start to implement this technology into schools we will continue to discover more ways that we can make use of it. First I will be pointing out what most people have mentioned which is helping as a way to transcript; most schools these days are using a manual process in identifying credentials and you know boring that can be, but with Blockchain everything will be made more easy. Next is that it can be used in storing student records, and that has already been proven when Sony and IBM partnered to create a platform that does just that.

That would actually be a great place to start learning about Blockchain since you would be learning in groups and you can exchange a lot of ideas. It can also appear in thesis projects since it would now be available for teachers to guide them if they are knowledgeable about it.

But that's the reason he asked this question, what will happen if we see blockchain technology to be implemented in those universities?

Right now, we only see blockchain technology really effective in making transactions faster and making businesses become more effective and grow. Payments are really much more effective when blockchain was invented and especially that cryptocurrency is becoming more popular nowadays. There are a lot of people who engage in cryptocurrency, and I believe that when this blockchain is applied in universities, students will relate and learn more about digital currency works and how cryptocurrency transactions matter to us.

It will developed more inside you, once ideas being made and lots of inputs being shared, it will really a continuous growth for your knowledge.


It will helps the future to enhance and developed more from those ideas that being collected, a win win for everyone who will showed interest.

The future is of the block chain technology. There are several universities in my country which have included block chain as a subject and also it is important to mention that block chain is not only limited to bitcoins.

https://i.ibb.co/mRkH6ZF/1-c-Ve-TQYLF5-Z35y-Go-Z23-Sfmw.png (https://ibb.co/qDKRkqF)

See blockchain is some high level technology which was long thought about by people where it would eleminate the multicentric tasks, it's very simple, very efficient and very effective .

Blockchain is a very Transparent network which can help eradicate the corruption from the governmental bodies too.

Here are some examples where the blockchain can be used *credits are reserved for the people who made it* , therefore I want to prove a point that it's not just Universities and college where it can be used there are a lot more implications , depends on the acceptance by the body themselves.

It can :
1. Store data for the college
2. Store the log of funds being transferred in the university's account
3. More secure
4. Transparent
5. Put an end to corruption

Transparency will end up all the corruption and all shady things that do happen when they do still make use of the old system.Basing of on the image you had shown about its application then it do indeed
shows that this isnt only applicable on Education aspect but in all sorts of Industries that we can think of, not only talking about transparency but also the accessibility and the security which had been
the most important aspect specially on data storage and similar thing.There are already schools and institutions that had considered on adding blockchain tech for a while now and sooner or later we would
really able to saw that big companies or even small ones would gradually do the thing.

University applied blockchain as a subject or administrative system is very good
if blockchains are applied in the administration system, transparency and security will be very well maintained
This is what I am waiting for, namely the application of blockchains in the education sector

Blockchain Technology should have an spot within the Information Technology departments of Universities since it really plays a huge role into improving platforms and not just Cryptocurrencies. Blockchain Technology can be used within Cloud Technologies and that would improve the security of technologies integrated within it.

In my opinion it all depends on the university itself, how they agree to improve learning about Blockchain technology, if the university agrees to add this lesson it might be even better for their future, because I think knowledge about Blockchain technology is very important and will be useful in future. So if they want to invest in cryptocurrency, they already know what to do in their own way.

For sure it will help without any hesitation. Data of students, of diplomas and different sertificates,  Olympiads, competitions, the various tests and exams and its results could be kept in safety and lots of financial questions of universities budget will be solved in a one clique - Blockchain will ensure transparency - how and for what the budget is spent. Everything will become more clear. And of course thinking broader Blockchain can help with transparency for lots of different directions of peoples lives.

Of course. Actually the project study of my classmates is about blockchain technology and because of that interesting project, they passed the course. If you have the foundation of programming especially the basics of python, you can easily build your own blockchain and it's up to you on what kind of implementation you will do. It has a lot of applications as long as there are data, blockchain will become mainstream as projects in universities.

We actually don't need specific subject of blockchain, what we really need is the foundation is programming in computer related courses.

Blockchain can help education for:

1. Student records.
2. Diplomas and certificates.
3. Badges (skills, technical knowledges, specific abilities, etc).
4. File storage.
5. Lessons and courses.
6. Publishing.
7. Lower costs.
8. Rewards.

I did read an article in the past about the school distributing its diplomas using blockchain and its recorded there.  Schools wouldn't have to keep a pile of papers and database for it because blockchain will do it for them.

When verifying records for employment, the employers can access the blockchain records without having to email the school anymore since all of the data are in the blockchain.

Easy way to trade quiz answers while remaining somewhat anonymous.

Understand that transparency is not always necessary. Often I want to make a financial transfer and I would not like the public to see the movement of my capital. Of course, this largely depends on you - how many people know that you are the owner of a particular bitcoin wallet. But I would prefer transaction anonymity and transparency to be optional.

blockchain is not only for finance but can be adopted for all fields including education. Many things can use blockchain at universities and collages such as Securing diplomas and certificates, Self-sovereign Identity, Blockchain-based payment options, New ways to fund student's education, Incentivization and rewards mechanism. You can find several educational platform threads in this forum that already use blockchain.

I see that the implementation of blockchain in Universities is viable. Sooner rather than later it should happen. I'm not sure that Cornell University created blockchain at the institution. But I do know that they are imparting the best crypto education in the world.

That is possible, blockchain can also be used for financial systems or final project book inventories, I once drew a picture of the system because there are classes and in some state universities have Blockchain Technology courses. Blockchain can be developed by anyone and it is open source, you can also develop it and implement it in your field. It's just that blockchain technology development doesn't have many developers, so it's a bit difficult to find development problems.

very very possible and maybe this is great way to introduce blockchain in all sector.
because, blockchain is very flexible. It remains how we place it and apply it to the college program

Blockchain technologies are getting implemented everywhere, and the education system isn't an exception. With anything it is possible to integrate the blockchain technology, and in universities through blockchain technology everything can be done in a transparent manner. In recent days education too have turned to be a business, and through transparency it is possible to eradicate the flaws in the education system on universities.

It also depends on the willingness of a Department to teach it within the University. If they can see in which opportunity to teach Blockchain, then creating ideas from it would be good. Knowing or being knowledgeable about Blockchain can be a good edge against other people with no knowledge about it. It can also help you see opportunities that can be utilized with the use of Blockchain.

I really support that all universities should start giving lessons on blockchain technology. Especially now that blockchain technology is
starting to be adopted by several large countries, indicating blockchain technology is quite important in human life. So if blockchain
technology begins to be studied at universities, it is hoped that there will be mass adoption.

The first thing that comes to my mind when I start thinking about integrating blockchain in education and specifically in universities is completely transparent control of knowledge. All students and students should be able to see the overall performance of the entire stream or even the entire University. You can also use the blockchain to check your homework. The range of use is very wide.

Bitcoin has two values: technology and economics, so it should be taught in the universities of economics and technology faculties. Bitcoins as well as blockchain are only known at the moment, and people haven't accepted it yet, nor is it the university. I think in the future there will be more universities interested in bitcoin and blockchain more.

It's good that school were starting to teach blockchain for adoption, the only sector now that do provides program in learning cryptocurrency in my country is a bank that sets to start crypto transaction and aims crypto developers here in my country they provide instution to provide knowledge for many, if schools will implement it, it will benefit many to find new skills and ways to earn.

Blockchain is not all about cryptocurrency although cryptocurrency seem to be the most popular of the use because it is the most profitable investment in many years. As many countries are adopting blockchain in many sectors I believe studies from researchers will improve and enhance the use across many other sectors in the country/department. The technology is not as young but there is capacity for some developments for security especially

Well said. If the academe will partake in this, it would significantly contribute to Blockchain technology development.
As academe nurtures individual to be competent and enhances their talents. It would be beneficial to everyone.
This could result into a more developed and profitable system that could soon offer many things.

Blockchain is already used by other universities and colleges, I/ve read MIT has been using it to disseminate certificate and diplomas since 2015 or 2016. It really help a lot in terms of sceurity, it gives the students full ownership of their transcripts rather than the university. Same thing we are enjoying with bitcoin right.

The blockchain is really a great technology that other systems or companies can used for their own use. I think as of now there are a lot of colleges are into blockchain already, and no, it doesn't mean they're into bitcoin too. It's not the same thing. I'm hoping this technology will be used on other great things aside from transcript distribution. It has so many potential and I'm sure, with the world's fast technological advancement, we will be surprised.

I believe that bringing blockchain to schools and higher institutions is a better way to grow the awareness of the technology because the schools are filled with the youths which is the engine room of any society. So the awareness will be more active as student can spread news faster and it will also be a lecture to the curriculum in the school callender.

LOL NO. Blockchain was not designed for cryptocurrencies to be profitable, blockchain is used to store unalterable data which combines with cryptography for better purpose, not because for profit but for securing information. Cryptocurrency is the most popular used of blockchain log should be made online and public.

I guess there should be less worry about blockchain being taught in school coz you can basically apply for webinars about blochain, seminars and programs about blockchain, video tutorials about it. I don't think we should need a school lesson for blockchain, but it will be a great way to proceed.

LOL. This is not talking about the function of the existence of blockchain in general, but it is talking about what if a blockchain is adopted in an educational institution such as a school and university.
What you describe is inaccurate and sufficient as knowledge of blockchain in general.

BlockChain is created to Help the whole World By using technology mate so either business of any sort and even colleges and universities will benefit from this.

But what i wanna happen is Colleges and Universities will Open courses about Blockchain for the students learn this earlier and be aware that there is a existing technology that assigned to help their future.
Right and must be required,i know there are some few universities or even colleges started this last year though i am hoping for a wide adoption and teachings.
