Blockchain Technologies and Education
As all levels and sectors of education contemplate ongoing developments in digital technology, distributed and fragmented models of learning, stackable credentials, and educational unbundling the potential for a system like blockchain to bring security to a diverse landscape of evidence of learning, recognition of learning and acknowledgement of learning becomes more relevant.
As MOOCs, SPOCs, online courses, RPL and alternative credentialling become more ubiquitous the main stakeholders in education, industry and government are realising the need for systems that enable higher levels of trust when certificates, awards and prior learning recognition are at stake.

Gartner Report: Take a New Approach to Establishing and Sustaining Trust in Digital Identities | iovation | Blockchain Technologies and Education | Scoop.it
New research from Gartner helps authentication and fraud prevention teams improve security and customer experience.

Organizational silos are a fact of life. Traditional schools of thought say:

Identity proofing belongs to DevSecOps
Authentication belongs to the Identity and Access Management (IAM) team
Online fraud detection is the purview of the risk department or loss prevention team
Today, new best practices are emerging, such as The Gartner Trusted Identity Capabilities Model.

Don’t let bitcoin greed blind you to the potential of blockchain technology | John Naughton | Opinion | The Guardian

Don’t let bitcoin greed blind you to the potential of blockchain technology | John Naughton | Opinion | The Guardian | Blockchain Technologies and Education | Scoop.it
Because I write about technology I am regularly assailed by people who are exercised about so-called “cryptocurrencies” like bitcoin, which most of them regard as a scam. But when I reply that while bitcoin might be newsworthy, the really important story concerns the blockchain technology that underpins it, their eyes glaze over and they start looking for the nearest exit as they conclude that they are in the grip of Coleridge’s Ancient Mariner.

And, in a sense, they are. Blockchain technology is indeed important, but it seems largely incomprehensible to ordinary mortals, even though the web teems with attempts to explain it. This is partly because cryptography lies at its core, and since crypto involves complex mathematics it therefore lies beyond the ken of most people. But if one is prepared to take the maths as given, then really the basic idea is simple. As Don and Alex Tapscott put it in their book, Blockchain Revolution, a blockchain “is an incorruptible digital ledger of economic transactions that can be programmed to record not just financial transactions but virtually everything of value”.

IGI Global: Call for Chapter Details - BLOCKCHAIN IN LEARNING

IGI Global: Call for Chapter Details - BLOCKCHAIN IN LEARNING | Blockchain Technologies and Education | Scoop.it
The blockchain is the distributed database that gives an alterable and semi public record of the digital transactions. The blockchain implies that database is present in multiple copies all across various computers. Blockchain, as digital ledger, therefore, is going to be the next great thing in learning and development in open education. On the other hand, learning enviroments need to be aware of the blockchain in the near future.

A critical approach must be taken to handle the increased volume of Blockchain in Learning , the frequency of its use, and to ensure a growth in the quality of online communications. Research on Blockchain in Learning should address theoretical, practical and technical issues, but it must also consider the philosophy behind interactive Blockchain in Learning . The objects and goals of Blockchain in Learning must be subject to constant critical attention and revision. Blockchain in Learning has been the subject of serious academic research. However, there must be more continuous and multicultural attention paid to the impact of the latest management, communication, pedagogy, technology and evaluation-based developments together on Blockchain in Learning from the world.
