Abstract

Lifelong learning approaches that include digital, transversal, and practical skills (i.e., critical thinking, communication, collaboration, information literacy, analytical, metacognitive, reflection, and other research skills) are required in order to be equitable and inclusive and stimulate personal development. Realtime interaction between teachers and students and the ability for students to choose courses from curricula are guaranteed by decentralized online learning. Moreover, through blockchain, it is possible to acquire skills regarding the structure and content while also implementing learning tools. Additionally, documentation validation should be equally crucial to speeding up the process and reducing costs and paperwork. Finally, blockchains are open and inclusive processes that include people and cultures from all walks of life. Learning in Higher Education Institutions (HEI) is facilitated by new technologies, connecting blockchain to sustainability, which helps understand the relationship between technologies and sustainability. Besides serving as a secure transaction system, blockchain technology can help decentralize, provide security and integrity, and offer anonymity and encryption, therefore, promoting a transaction rate increase. This study investigates an alternative in which HEI include a blockchain network to provide the best sustainable education system. Students’ opinions were analyzed, and they considered that blockchain technology had a very positive influence on learning performance.

Highlights

  • Blockchain is an underlying technology process that can perform digital verifications, such as cryptocurrencies [1]

  • Survey Research: Data and Variables. This survey was applied to 150 students from Serbia, Romania, and Portugal and aimed to evaluate students’ opinions regarding the influence of blockchain on learning performance

  • The Blockchain variable evaluated how extensive the use of blockchain was in Higher Education (HE) for a large audience when courses were taught through instruments such as Massive Online Open Courses (MOOCs), AR, VR, gamification, or videoconferences

Summary

Introduction

Blockchain is an underlying technology process that can perform digital verifications, such as cryptocurrencies [1]. More and more areas are emerging through innovative blockchain approaches. Blockchain technology is used to improve Higher Education (HE), as well as for the development of an educational infrastructure to support learning. Innovative science learning relationships often involve sustained individual inquiry, intense social interaction with interest groups, and expert mentoring relationships. Blockchain technology allows students to interact with better-informed colleagues and mentors [2,3,4]. Blockchain technology has found wide application in numerous fields, as evidenced, among other things, by numerous studies and scientific research.
