Abstract

According to today's education system, the content, applicability, quality and performance measurement criteria of the courses may vary according to countries, educational institutions and educators. Because of incorrect performance measurement, hidden skills disappear before they appear. Thanks to the graduation diploma it is observed that people with less than professional knowledge and skills come to better places than those who are more knowledgeable and skilled. In addition, due to the lack of a proper training plan according to the target learning community, boredom and financial problems may arise due to long periods of education. In this study, while trying to avoid material and temporal problems, a blockchain-based lifelong learning platform whose content, processing, reliability, decentralized, open to continuous and rapid accessibility, and evaluation criteria and method is completely objective is proposed. Thanks to this platform, the diplomas to be received by the students who have successfully passed the end-of-education exams will be time-stamped, immutable, safe and traceable. At the same time, all these documents, storage of training contents, diplomas, certificates, post-training exams and all related files , will be kept accessible, secure and immutable thanks to IPFS, the Inter Planetary File System. Achievements, employer and employee pools to be created according to the achievements, and a recruitment contract to be realized will be controlled by smart contracts and absolute reliability and objectivity will be ensured. All these concepts will be made available through a decentralized application (DApp) which will run on a private blockchain network that requires a partial permission to be established.

Highlights

  • Education is known as an important field of study that is open to development and change in the process from past to present in terms of its content and outputs

  • The most important aspect of the educating process is the quality of the educating provided. This requires individuals to respond to the needs and demands of the society at the desired level with the knowledge, skills and experience acquired in line with the education they receive [1]. These changes, which can be observed in the quality of educational institutions, may vary in the examinations conducted and the evaluation of these exams in order to determine how much the trainees have learned from education and how much they can apply

  • Blockchain technology, decentralized applications running on blockchain (DApp) that associated with smart contracts and Inter Planetary File System (IPFS) as a storage environment are proposed as solutions for such situations [5]

Summary

Introduction

Education is known as an important field of study that is open to development and change in the process from past to present in terms of its content and outputs. The most important aspect of the educating process is the quality of the educating provided This requires individuals to respond to the needs and demands of the society at the desired level with the knowledge, skills and experience acquired in line with the education they receive [1]. With a university to be implemented on this platform, the professional knowledge competence of the people who receive equal training in terms of content, method and quality will be determined by smart contracts on this blockchain based platform In this way, subjective professional knowledge measurement and assessment will be replaced by an objective assessment, while unjust progression, rise and income based on evaluation will be eliminated. Thanks to its blockchain tamper proof feature, any positive or negative interventions to educational contents or diplomas will be prevented strictly
