Blockchain-based Mobile Learning Management Applications

An Intensive Examination and Future Research Opportunities

Abstract

Instant access to information without reliance on desktop or notebook computers has been made possible by the increasing development of mobile technologies and the Internet. Blockchain technology is garnering significant interest from researchers, academics, and practitioners due to its unique properties, including data reliability, security, and transferability, as the use of information technology continues to increase over time. The financial, healthcare, and supply chain management sectors have all been impacted by the rapid development of blockchain technology. Because of its special qualities, such as decentralisation, dependability, and security, this technology has recently also been used in education. To provide readers with a complete understanding of the current state of affairs, including its benefits, drawbacks, existing applications, and possible future applications in other academic disciplines, this study aims to present an extensive assessment of the literature on blockchain technology in education. The current application of blockchain technology in education is described in the study along with its benefits and drawbacks. The main objectives of using blockchain technology in education were systematised as a result of the findings: identifying students, assessing the university’s level of accreditation, arranging the educational process, encouraging lifelong learning, protecting intellectual property, paying tuition, providing student loans, verifying the validity of the issued education document, helping with adult professional education, and ranking universities when they receive grant funding.
