A blockchain-based model to support student activities management

Abstract

The fourth industrial revolution, digital transformation, and blockchain technology are those the terms get most interested in recently. The application of new technology to obtain the accuracy, convenience, and speed in managing work in general always attract much attention from the community. In the field of education, the exploitation of new technologies to promote the development of education and training is not out of the common trend. Current studies in blockchain-based application for education often focuses on exploiting features such as security, immutability, independence, etc., and applying them to verify the correctness and anti-counterfeiting of diplomas/certificates. Researches related to support student management is still very limited. In this paper, we study and propose a blockchain-based application to support the management of students' activities in general, such as managing code of conducts, extracurricular activities or soft skill courses for instance. The aim is to study the application of smart contracts of blockchain technology to support automatic, transparent and unbiased student reward or discipline through conduct point assessment. Along with that, the system will assist in verifying the career skills that students have accumulated to enhance the strength and reliability of the resume or portfolio of students.
