TOPIC SELECTION
 The topic chosen is
uses of block chain
in higher education.
 This topic has been
chosen because
educational
institutes are prone
to hacking.
 Block chain can be
utilized in order to
mitigate them. Figure 1: block chain in

RESEARCH DOMAIN
 This research
describes the uses of
block chain in
education institutes
and ways by which it
can mitigate various
issues faced by them.
 Understanding of
development
traceability, enhance
security and increase
the efficiency with
reduced cost. Figure 3: block chain in

& Ogata, 2018)

JUSTIFICATION
 Education system
faces numerous issues
that go beyond mere
optimization of the
process.
 Learning and teaching
process is an ongoing
and never ending
process, hence the
issues faced needs to
be mitigated by using
block chain.

METHODOLOGY
 Qualitative analysis has
been carried out in
order to understand
how analysis of using
block chain in education
can be placed in a
logical frame.
 Analysis of literature
reviews is done for
arguments and is
considered in the
analysis of data
received from the
review Figure 4: developing block

LITERATURE REVIEW
 As discussed by Grather et al. (2018),
block chain technology has been helping
in support learning histories.
 Using block chain is an effective solution
for the platform of education in order to
carry out validating, issuing certificates
and easy sharing.
 Block chain is also used in order to
develop the infrastructure of internet
related to higher education of students
(Zheng et al. 2016).

RESULT FINDING
 The result depicts that
block chain has
dovetail which is more
efficient and
comprehensive.
 When education that is
based n competency
rises, a constant and
dependable method is
necessary for
collecting activities
regarding knowledge-
building. Figure 5: developing

CONCLUSION
 The process of education becomes more
effective because there is trust among
every party.
 This research describes how block chain
acts as a medium of exchange for the
things of value without the necessity of
third parties and employing.
 Block chain helps the education system to
transform for future.
 Block chain can be inserted in order to
design a de centralized, transparent and
robust educational system.
