Problem Statement
Centralized online education platforms may face issues related to data security, access control, and transparency. Blockchain technology offers a decentralized solution to address these concerns and provide a more secure and transparent online learning environment.
Abstract
This project aims to develop a blockchain-based decentralized online education platform. Utilizing smart contracts and decentralized storage, the platform will enable secure and transparent access to educational materials, certifications, and student records, fostering a trusted and efficient online learning ecosystem
Outcome
A functional blockchain-based online education platform that ensures data security, transparency, and efficient management of educational resources.
Reference
Aiming at the problems of centralization of education resources and easy tampering of academic information, which are common in existing online education platforms, this paper adopts the B-DS framework model to solve. The model includes a peer-to-peer file sharing system: Interplanetary File System, so that every user in the online education platform is both a student and a teacher. Educational resources are no longer managed in educational institutions. The incentive mechanism of blockchain is used to encourage every node in the education platform to share, store and transmit educational resources. The blockchain technology with tamper-proof and decentralized characteristics is used to store academic information data.
