Abstract

Blockchain technology is increasingly revolutionizing, not only the way we perform financial transactions, as well as increasingly gaining space in areas that also need transparency and safety. In this paper it will be identified the potential uses of Blockchain in High Education Systems, outlining its advantages and disadvantages, as well as challenges arising from the adoption of this innovative technology. To understand the Blockchain applications in education, an exploratory study was conducted, based on a quantitative methodology, supported by a questionnaire addressed to teachers, workers of academic services, administration staff, students, data protection officers, and IT technicians. This study was based on information associated with the project TRUE—Transparency of Learning Outcomes through Blockchain Technology, the survey respondents were selected from the contacts of the partners of this project. Analyzing the questionnaire results it was verified that the idea and convenience of Blockchain is not known to most respondents, specifically on High Education professionals. Raising awareness to the topic is thus of primary importance, the TRUE Project intends to help that endeavor by giving targeted information about Blockchain in education, and how it can facilitate relations between High Education institutions around Europe and in Erasmus + programs.
