Tapping the blockchain-powered remote classroom.

COVID19 sparks push for advanced online learning frameworks.

We are living amidst an unprecedented shift in global education with college professors becoming Zoom adapts overnight, the class of 2020 to graduate virtually, continuous learning platforms on the lookout for the best performing interaction technologies, and the new wave of EdTechs officially upon us.

In both public and private educational settings, the global learning community braces for more time outside of the traditional classroom environment with challenges like certification credibility and exam cheating, student privacy, and overall quality of educational experience. But with challenges come opportunities to make use of advanced technologies and step up the distant learning game.

‍In this blog, we’ll explore blockchain’s potential to secure the continuity of online learning frameworks through a number of decentralized applications.

Tap the blockchain-powered smart campus with Taraxa.

Blockchain technology essentially adds a layer of security and trust to online learning settings. By using it, the digital campus can confidently store learning records, issue and manage digital certificates, securely share learning resources via smart contracts, and protect intellectual property through data encryption.

Trustless learning log.

Keeping a more comprehensive track of learners’ achievements beyond transcripts of scores is another fundamental improvement that blockchain brings to online learning frameworks. This is achieved by storing digital hashes of learning activities and managing access rights through the use of smart contracts.

Confidently manage student records.

With Taraxa’s trustless audit log of all critical operational records, educational data is securely stored and shared on digital campuses among students, professors, external collaborators, or inspecting authorities. The platform allows educators to easily exchange information on student progress, grades, and achievements — all digitized and securely recorded to the blockchain. From here, it’s possible to build up a slew of different educational products with the blockchain platform functioning as the bottom line for secure data-sharing and storage.

Securely store and share learning resources.

Continuous learning platforms and learning management systems will benefit from Taraxa’s capability to instantly share learning materials and confidential user information both internally and with offsite collaborators. So will professors and students who now have a powerful toolset for exchanging ideas, files and assignments.

Immutable digital certificates and diplomas.

Blockchain ledger delivers the foundation for a completely new, decentralized way of issuing and managing digital certificates and transcripts solving the problems of inhomogeneity and credibility of training received at online education platforms. Taraxa makes it possible to store all sorts of students’ accreditations and qualifications — from course completion certificates to degree modules, on a single, immutable blockchain ledger

Taraxa enables learners to securely move their scores from one school/learning platform to another, while online learning platforms will enjoy the benefit of analytics by looking at the student’s learning logs for easier onboarding and personalized learning offering of new learners. This approach will ultimately give students the power to securely own and dispose of their records to easily move on their educational track from one course or school to another.

With student records and learning resources securely recorded into the blockchain ledger, you have a powerful toolset to maintain the continuity of online learning frameworks when switching to a remote classroom.
