“…Therefore, a system was proposed for interface experimentations with different blockchain networks before deployment and the results were quite impressive (Michael Froehlich, Benjamin Moser, Florian Alt & Albrecht Schmidt, 2022). An experiment was conducted to make multichain more usable even for non-technical users by creating a GUI (Tani Hossain, Tasniah Mohiuddin, A M Shahed Hasan, Muhammad Nazrul Islam & Syed Akhter Hossain, 2021).…”

Blockchain data is characterized by encryption which is usually aimed at securing the data itself from getting into wrong hands. However, this limits the readability of the data when there is a need to. Clarity and understanding are essential indicators of a usable system as a complex but functioning system is of no value to the user if the data are not presented in a simple readable format. A Graphic User Interface (GUI) with a simplistic design is presented to solve this problem by rendering only necessary blockchain data while considering supplementary details that are usually hidden. 5 blockchain scenarios are created for this purpose. The activities and potential data involved are clearly stated. The raw blockchain data on a high level are recorded in form of JavaScript Object Notification (JSON). Attention is given to supplementary details from the raw blockchain data while translating them into graphical form. Results were presented in three different forms (raw blockchain data, complex GUI, and the simplistic GUI) to different categories of users and their comments were compared and analyzed. Since human computer interaction is an essential factor in user’s readability, the GUI rendered in this work is an enhancement to the blockchain technology as seen in the result which shows the simplistic GUI as the best understood interface even by a novice among the three.

“… User-Friendly Interfaces: The success of blockchain and SSI relies heavily on intuitive, non-technical interfaces. If teachers, staff, and students find the systems difficult to navigate, it impedes adoption and risks eroding the potential benefits (26). Investment in user-centered design is key.…”

Traditional university records management systems often rely on centralized, fragmented, and vulnerable methods of data storage. This can compromise security, hinder efficient sharing of information, and limit students' ownership of their educational journeys. Blockchain technology, coupled with the principles of self-sovereign identity (SSI), offers the potential to revolutionize how student records are created, stored, and shared. This review paper synthesizes emerging research and explores the transformative implications of blockchain and SSI for university records management. It examines how these technologies streamline administrative processes, enhance data security and trustworthiness, empower students to control their narratives and foster collaboration between educational institutions. Key benefits, technical considerations, and real-world implementation challenges are critically analyzed. The paper concludes with a call to action for universities, technology providers, researchers, and policymakers to collaborate on innovative solutions. This collaboration will pave the way for a more secure, student-centric, and efficient future for educational records management.

“…User interfaces serve as an access point for interaction and communication between users and a system or application [81]. They are a critical component contributing to the usability of a blockchain solution [82]. The design of a user-friendly and usable user interface can facilitate the engagement with supply chain participants and consumers when adopting the blockchain-enabled food sustainability communication solution.…”

The increasing demand for sustainable and ethically sourced food products has highlighted the importance of effective sustainability communication within the food supply chain. Existing sustainability communication approaches encounter limitations such as a lack of standardised frameworks, information overload, greenwashing, and an absence of transparent reporting. These challenges hinder their effectiveness and reliability in communicating sustainability efforts and commitments to businesses and consumers in a food chain. Blockchain technology, with its transparent, traceable, verifiable, and immutable features, offers a promising solution to address these limitations and facilitate effective sustainability communication. This paper explores the benefits of applying blockchain traceability to enhance sustainability communication in food supply chains. Using the system architecture approach, this paper proposes a high-level architectural framework, which can navigate the design and development of a blockchain-enabled solution for food sustainability communication. To assist with the translation of the architectural framework into a tailored solution, this paper further presents an action design pathway and discusses the design considerations around organisation, technology, governance, cost, and the user interface. The discussions and insights offered by this study can guide system developers and business analysts in the design and development of industry-oriented solutions, helping them make informed decisions before and during the design process. This paper contributes to advancing and expanding blockchain applications with a particular focus on sustainability communication in food supply chains.
