Today, educational data, controlled centrally by educational institutions and administrative units, may be vulnerable to damage caused by natural disasters, political instability, and wars. Simultaneously, challenges arise in accessing this data for educational activities within the framework of exchange programs or lifelong learning. In the literature, there are numerous blockchain-based studies focusing on storing and sharing data in various fields. While several studies exist on blockchain applications for certification, verification, and data sharing in the education sector, a fully decentralized infrastructure has not yet been presented. To address this issue, it is proposed that data control should shift to the hands of students, who are the rightful owners of the data, rather than being solely in the hands of educational institutions. In alignment with the decentralized internet vision, Web3, public blockchain networks are considered the most suitable infrastructure for this purpose. To meet this need, a framework named PublicEduChain has been introduced within the scope of this study. PublicEduChain allows students to store their data in smart contracts created on the public Ethereum network, making it possible to share this information with any educational institution and administrative units. Educational institutions can access student data stored in smart contracts on the public Ethereum network through Learning Management System (LMS) applications and can add data to these contracts. PublicEduChain ensures that data is managed under student ownership within a fully decentralized infrastructure. The practical steps in PublicEduChain, such as creating a smart contract, logging into LMSs with Ethereum IDs, and allowing LMSs to read and write data in the student contract, are explained in detail.

- Abstract
Blockchain is a particularly promising technology that is inherently a decentralized, secure and public digital ledger that can be used to create and manage digital tokens. They are carriers of value and are stored on the blockchain. Blockchain technology ensures that tokens are secure and tamper-proof. Nontransferable tokens, also called “soulbond” tokens, are gaining popularity as a way to authenticate ownership. Originally created to convey information in the field of cryptocurrencies, they could find other use-cases as well. The purpose of the report is to examine the possibilities of using blockchain technology in education, including the benefits and problems that could arise. Specific examples are presented, as well as a proposal for the application of nonfungible tokens (NFT) for certifying the results and achievements of students during their studies in the learning system of Trakia electronic University (TreU).

Blockchain in education ,Distributed ledgers ,Learning ,Rate of adoption ,Sustainable development ,Special aspects of education ,LC8-6691 - Abstract
Abstract Blockchain is arguably the next technology-mediated socioeconomic mega trend after the ongoing era of Net Neutrality and Big Data. This theoretical paper explores blockchain technology and its impacts on education. It is argued that we cannot take for granted that the network neutrality, popularized accessibility of the Internet and its influence on education will remain as we know it today. Blockchain promises, among others, a greater control over financing and investing in education, implementing instructional projects, a certification/accreditation system and learning. Education blockchain with its distributed ledgers would set novel standards of crypto-learning and crypto-administration that are acceptable across organizations and nations, enhancing thus the objectivity, validity and control of information without being compromised by socio-economic instabilities. The slow rate of adoption of blockchain technology in education reflects the rate in the fields of finance and management but, at the same time, it poses a few critical challenges such as lacking tangible incentives for technology maintenance or ‘blockchain mining’ (inward sustainability) coupled with a rather feeble orientation to collective development of education (outward sustainability).

BLOCKCHAINS ,UNIVERSITIES & colleges ,INNOVATION adoption ,QUALITATIVE research ,EDUCATIONAL technology - Abstract
Despite the many benefits of blockchain technology in higher education, this technology is not widely adopted by Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Therefore, instead of providing additional motives for adopting blockchain technology, this research tries to understand what factors discourage HEIs from merging blockchain with their procedures. The methodology used for this research is based upon qualitative research using 14 interviews with administrative and academic staff from the European Union (EU) and Canada. Our findings based on our empirical data revealed 15 key challenges to blockchain adoption by HEIs that are classified based on the technology, organization, and environment (TOE) framework. Theoretically, this study contributes to the body of knowledge relating to blockchain technology adoption. Practically, this research is expected to aid HEIs to assess the applicability of blockchain technology and pave the way for the widespread adoption of this technology in the educational field.

blockchain in education ,blockchain applications ,blockchain technology ,decentralized ,self-sovereignty systems ,Language and Literature - Abstract
With the advance of Internet technology, currently, there is no more centralized province for education in either the physical or virtual world, but education is now done through peer to peer interaction, online and from anywhere on earth. Therefore, Blockchain is getting significant considerations and is rapidly becoming part of the technology vernacular in the Iranian Educational system. This is mainly due to its unique features including decentralization, disintermediation, immutability, self-sovereignty, security, reliability, collaboration, data sharing, and data integrity. Despite this getting popularity and interest in this field, currently, stakeholders within education in Iran are largely unaware of the social advantages and potential of blockchain technology. That is why, through systematic literature review, the study centers on three primary subjects: 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. In the end, a detailed analysis of the results of each theme as well as a critical discussion was made based on the findings.

BLOCKCHAINS ,EDUCATIONAL literature ,PROOF of concept - Abstract
Blockchain is one of the latest technologies attracting increasing attention from different actors in diverse fields, including the educational sector. The objective of this study is to offer an overview of the current state of the art related to blockchain in education that may serve as a reference for future initiatives in this field. For this, a systematic review of reference journals was carried out. Eleven databases were systematically searched and eligible papers that focused on blockchain in education that made significant contributions, and not only generic statements about the topic, were selected. As a result, 28 articles were analyzed. Lack of precision, and selection and analysis bias were then minimized by involving three researchers. The analysis of the selected papers provided invaluable insight and answered the research questions posed about the current state of the application of blockchain in education, about which of its characteristics can benefit this sector, and about the challenges that must be addressed. Blockchain may become a relevant technology in the educational field, and therefore many proofs of concept are being developed. However, there are still some relevant technological, regulatory and academic issues to be addressed to pave the way for the mainstream adoption of this technology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The rapid development of blockchain technology has influenced several fields, including financial, healthcare, and supply chain systems. Recently, this technology has also been applied in education thanks to its unique features, including decentralization, trustworthiness, and security. Despite the bright side of blockchain, several concerns continue to undermine its adoption in education, such as legal, immutability, and scalability issues. Thus, a comprehensive survey about blockchain adoption in education deems necessary. This paper is a systematic literature review of blockchain applications in the education field. To do so, and after retrieving scientific publications on the topic, we classify the outcomes according to several categories. In this paper, we focus on two major themes: educational applications and benefits of blockchain integration. We combine the themes, then express and analyze the results as bubble charts. We analyze the proposed solutions in terms of the blockchain-based applications that have been developed for educational purposes and the benefits that the blockchain technology could bring to the education field. Finally, we describe some research gaps that need to be addressed and educational areas that could be explored for future research of blockchain adoption in education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
This study has the purpose to investigate the existing state of adoption of blockchain technology in higher education, exploring the obstacles, and potential associated with its implementation to provide an updated and concise overview of the challenges and assess the feasibility of adopting blockchain in higher education.This research includes a literature review to examine the current status of blockchain in higher education. Additionally, a qualitative approach involving semi-structured interviews is utilized to gain an in-depth understanding of blockchain adoption, the potential challenges of its adopting, and its prospects within higher education by investigating the perspective of the interviewed academic community.Furthermore, the TOE framework is used to categorize adoption challenges into technical, organizational, and environmental dimensions. Challenges identified include technical complexity, resistance to change, financial constraints, perception of immaturity, lack of awareness, limited interoperability, insufficient skills, inadequate organizational support, regulatory compliance, cultural factors, and ecosystem readiness.Besides, the TAM is utilized to highlight the potential of blockchain based on respondents’views. It also explores how challenges from the TOE framework impact users’ perceptions of blockchain’s ease of use and usefulness in higher education. The overall findings indicate that adopting blockchain in higher education presents challenges such as resistance to change, cost concerns, lack of awareness, cryptocurrency bias, technical complexity, regulatory compliance, and ecosystem readiness.As a consequence, considering the identified level of readiness of universities to embrace new technologies, it is evident that blockchain is still in its early stages of recognition in higher education. However, its potential benefits are suggested such as reducing bureaucracy, enhancing communication and collaboration, improving payment systems, and

Making universal access to education compatible with different paths of learning is one of the great challenges of the last century. Technology has provided solutions to access information, for communication and collaborative work. Blockchain emerges as a technology that can be useful for the development of an evaluation model of individualized learning itineraries in mass university subjects. In this line, the Edublocs project has been designed and executed, an initiative where these itineraries have been designed, incorporating elements of peer learning, teamteaching, PLEs, microlearning, technology-enhanced assessment... The objective of the Edublocs project is to design and implement a system of recording the results of activities through Blockchain that allow the student to follow a personal itinerary, and the teacher-tutor of the subject to carry out a formative evaluation and an accrediting appraisal of their work. The project is well underway in the evaluation of the implementation process. The experience with some elements of the design and the experimental execution in a formal university context during the present academic course, has allowed us to obtain important indications on the viability and relevance of the use of Blockchain in education. These, together with the explanation and justification of explaining the context of its applicability, will be laid out in the broad development of the article. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Bu çalışmanın temel amacı; eğitimde blokzincir teknolojisinin kullanımında mevcut durumu, bu teknolojiden eğitim kurumlarının beklentilerini, kullanımın önündeki engelleri, blokzincir teknolojisinin eğitimde kullanım oranını artırmak adına önerileri, ilgili Türk ve yabancı akademisyenler ile Türkiye’deki ve yurt dışındaki kurum/firmaların bakış açkısıyla ortaya koymaktır. Çalışmanın araştırma sorularına yanıt aramak için, betimsel tarama modelinden yararlanılmıştır. Blokzincir alanında çalışmaları olan ya da ders veren Türk ve yabancı akademisyenlerle, Türkiye’de ve yurt dışında blokzincir alanında çalışmalar yürüten firma ve kurumlar, çalışma grubunu oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma sorularına yanıt bulmak için, çalışma grubundaki akademisyenlerle firma ve kurumlara yönelik olarak, araştırmacı tarafından çoktan seçmeli ve açık uçlu sorulardan oluşan bir form hazırlanmıştır. Soruların kapsam ve dil geçerliliği için uzman görüşleri alınarak, formlara son şekilleri verilmiştir. Veri toplama araçları Survey Monkey uygulamasında dijitalleştirilerek, katılımcılara e-posta yoluyla ulaştırılmıştır. Yanıtlar, Survey Monkey veri tabanında toplanmıştır. Bu sayede, katılımcıların kimliği de gizli kalmıştır. Elde edilen veriler SPSS 24 programıyla analiz edilmiştir. Analizlerden elde dilen verilere göre; Türkiye’de ve yurt dışındaki üniversitelerde blokzincir teknolojinin aktif olarak kullanım oranı düşüktür. Her iki gruptaki akademisyenlerin yarısından fazlasının üniversitelerinde blokzincir teknolojisi ile ilgili dersler okutulmaktadır. Yabancı üniversitelerdeki araştırma ve geliştirme (AR-GE) çalışmalarının gerçekleştirilme oranının, Türk üniversitelerindeki çalışmalarla karşılaştırıldığında daha yüksek olduğu görülmektedir. Türkiye’deki ve yurtdışındaki üniversitelerden araştırmaya katılan akademisyenlerden özel sektör ile iş birliği yapıldığını belirtenler, bu iş birliğinin en çok finans desteği almak olduğunu belirtmişlerdir. Araştırmaya katılan Türk ve yabancı akademisyenlerin büyük bir kısmının, blokzincir teknolojisinin üniversitelerde diploma ve eğitim sertifika işlemlerinin kolaylaştırma ve güvenli kılma konusunda beklenti içinde olduğu görülmektedir. Türkiye’deki akademisyenlerin çoğunluğu, üniversitelerinde blokzincir kullanımının önündeki engel ya da sınırlılık olarak, kurumlarında bu teknolojiyi geliştirecek yeterli sayıda ve donanıma sahip çalışan olmamasını belirtmişlerdir. Buna karşılık, yurt dışındaki akademisyenlerin büyük bir kısmı, üniversite yöneticilerinin blokzincir teknolojisiyle ilgili yeterli bilgiye sahip olmamasını engel ya da sınırlılık olarak göstermiştir. Türkiye’de blokzincir teknolojisi alanında faaliyet yürüten firma/kurumlardan sadece 2 tanesine ulaşılabilmiş, yurt dışındaki kurum/firmalardan yanıt alınamamıştır. Katılımcı firma/kurumlar, üniversitelerin blokzincir teknolojisini kullanmanın birçok yararı olacağı konusunda hemfikirdir. Firma ve kurumların ortak görüşü; yeterli sayıda ve donanımda insan kaynağı bulunmaması, üniversite yöneticilerinin blokzincir konusunda yeterli bilgi sahibi olmaması, üniversite öğrencileri, akademisyenler ve diğer çalışanların, blokzincir kullanımı hakkında eğitim almamış olması, üniversitelerde blokzincir teknolojisinin kullanımına engel ya da sınırlılık olarak belirtilmiştir. Ayrıca bazı katılımcıların, eğitim kurumlarında blokzincir teknolojisinin kullanımını artırmak ve bu teknolojinin geliştirilmesi için önerileri de, bu çalışmada yer bulmuştur. The main purpose of this study; the aim is to present the current situation in the use of blockchain technology in education, the expectations of educational institutions from this technology, the obstacles to its use, suggestions to increase the use of blockchain technology in education, from the perspective of relevant Turkish and foreign academicians and institutions/firms in Turkey and abroad. In order to find answers to the research questions of the study, the descriptive survey model was used. The working group consists of Turkish and foreign academicians working or giving lectures in the field of blockchain, and companies/institutions working in the field of blockchain in Turkey and abroad. In order to find answers to the research questions, a form consisting of multiple choice and open-ended questions was prepared by the researcher for the academicians and companies/institutions in the study group. The forms were finalized by taking expert opinions for the scope and language validity of the questions. Data collection tools were digitized in the Survey Monkey application and delivered to the participants via e-mail. Responses were collected in the Survey Monkey database. In this way, the identity of the participants remained confidential. The data obtained were analyzed with the SPSS 24 program. According to the data obtained from the analysis; The active use of blockchain technology in universities in Turkey and abroad is low. More than half of the academicians in both groups teach courses on blockchain technology at their universities. It is seen that the rate of research and development studies in foreign universities is higher when compared to the studies in Turkish universities. Among the academics participating in the research from universities in Turkey and abroad, those who stated that they cooperated with the private sector stated that this cooperation was mostly financial support. It is seen that most of the Turkish and foreign academicians participating in the research are in expectation of blockchain technology to facilitate and secure the diploma and education certificate processes in universities. The majority of academics in Turkey stated that the obstacle or limitation of the use of blockchain in their universities is the lack of sufficient number and equipment in their institutions to develop this technology. On the other hand, most of the academicians abroad pointed out that university administrators' lack of sufficient knowledge about blockchain technology is an obstacle or limitation. Only 2 of the firms/institutions operating in the field of blockchain technology in Turkey could be reached, and no response could be received from the institutions/firms abroad. Participating companies/institutions agree that universities will have many benefits from using blockchain technology. The common opinion of the firm/institutions; The lack of sufficient and well-equipped human resources, the lack of sufficient knowledge of university administrators about blockchain, the fact that university students, academics and other employees have not received training on the use of blockchain are stated as obstacles or limitations to the use of blockchain technology in universities. In addition, some participants' suggestions to increase the use of blockchain technology in educational institutions and to develop this technology were also included in this study.

Blockchain is one of the latest technologies attracting increasing attention from different actors in diverse fields, including the educational sector. The objective of this study is to offer an overview of the current state of the art related to blockchain in education that may serve as a reference for future initiatives in this field. For this, a systematic review of reference journals was carried out. Eleven databases were systematically searched and eligible papers that focused on blockchain in education that made significant contributions, and not only generic statements about the topic, were selected. As a result, 28 articles were analyzed. Lack of precision, and selection and analysis bias were then minimized by involving three researchers. The analysis of the selected papers provided invaluable insight and answered the research questions posed about the current state of the application of blockchain in education, about which of its characteristics can benefit this sector, and about the challenges that must be addressed. Blockchain may become a relevant technology in the educational field, and therefore many proofs of concept are being developed. However, there are still some relevant technological, regulatory and academic issues to be addressed to pave the way for the mainstream adoption of this technology.

- Abstract
Decentralization of web is, also known as Web 3.0 or Semantic Web, is catching on quickly. Deployment of a decentralized network or system for learning purposes in an educational institution could involve the use of new cutting-edge technologies and tools behind blockchain systems and Social Networking Sites (SNS). These technologies can be applied in the education sector to reap numerous benefits. The benefits could be in the areas of longdistance learning, real-time availability of learning content and assignments, improved collaboration between instructors and students, better evaluation of student performance, secure and transparent payment systems for courses, and easy and structured access to student records. Yet other benefits could be achieved by the implementing educational institution in the form of automation (using artificial intelligence and machine learning tools), cost reduction, improved efficiency, system reliability, and data security and privacy. However, like everything else, the decentralization of web or other such networks comes with its own set of challenges. This research study focuses on the challenges associated with implementing a decentralized learning model for learning systems of an educational institution. The study involved both primary and secondary research. First, a thorough review was conducted of the existing literature on the implementation of decentralization technologies in the education sector. Then, a survey was conducted among 25 students to collect information on their views of what these challenges are and to validate the findings from literature revie. The study concludes that, to fully realize the benefits of deploying these technologies to DWeb learning models, several challenges need to be overcome quickly. The survey that was conducted corroborated the findings from the literature review to a large extent. Though many respondents showed their satisfaction with the decentralized e-learning practices where they have b, Master Thesis

- Abstract
Technological evolution has contributed to considerable changes in the learning methods used today. If a few years ago, before the technological boom, students relied only on their memory capacity, on notes on sheets of paper and written materials (in the form of course materials, books, or textbooks), today the process of learning is significantly facilitated by the means and techniques involved in the use of technology, such as artificial intelligence, smartphones, and tablets, which are rapidly replacing bulky desktop computers and outdated textbooks used in the learning process. Moreover, blockchain technology can also be used as a motivational factor for developing learning abilities by implementing a system that can bring students credit points convertible into cryptocurrencies or online badges. Studies conducted in the field show that students' motivation for learning and creativity is significantly improved with the help of this reward system. In this article, two specialized studies were conducted (in Romania), one on the perception of teachers in the university environment towards the use of new technologies in the learning process (artificial intelligence, smartphones, and tablets), and the other on the perception of students on the technological integration of blockchain (by implementing a system that can bring students credit points convertible into cryptocurrencies or online badges to certify their knowledge) in the learning process and measuring their satisfaction.

Making universal access to education compatible with different paths of learning is one of the great challenges of the last century. Technology has provided solutions to access information, for communication and collaborative work. Blockchain emerges as a technology that can be useful for the development of an evaluation model of individualized learning itineraries in mass university subjects. In this line, the Edublocs project has been designed and executed, an initiative where these itineraries have been designed, incorporating elements of peer learning, team-teaching, PLEs, microlearning, technology-enhanced assessment... The objective of the Edublocs project is to design and implement a system of recording the results of activities through Blockchain that allow the student to follow a personal itinerary, and the teacher-tutor of the subject to carry out a formative evaluation and an accrediting appraisal of their work. The project is well underway in the evaluation of the implementation process. The experience with some elements of the design and the experimental execution in a formal university context during the present academic course, has allowed us to obtain important indications on the viability and relevance of the use of Blockchain in education. These, together with the explanation and justification of explaining the context of its applicability, will be laid out in the broad development of the article.
