Abstract

Currently, due to the physical distance and complex nature of the educational environment, there is room for falsification of educational material for graduate studies. Along with the blooming of Blockchain and Cryptocurrency, an increasing number of researches focus on the transparency brought by this distributed ledger technique, which may help solve this problem. This paper aims to provide a further understanding of Blockchain technology in providing immutable and transparent records for students' educational background. Two main applications in education, called Indorse and Blockcerts were presented and we developed a new application SchooIOperated-Educational-Blockchain to provide more accurate and various information for students' in-school performance and store them securely and transparently on the Blockchain.
