Blockchain is one of the latest innovations that is increasingly attracting the attention of various stakeholders in different fields, including the education sector. This is primarily due to its attractive features, such as decentralization, transparency, traceability, security, and reliability. Despite its advantages, blockchain still faces several challenges, and the acceptance rate of this technology is still low. Thus, the purpose of this study was to conduct a review of published articles that have discussed the challenges of adopting blockchain in the education sector. The review contained scientific papers published from 2017 to 2022 and, from the screened records, 32 articles were analyzed in full-text form. In this review, 14 challenges were reported and classified, based on the technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework. In addition, this review showed that organizational and environmental barriers received little attention in the literature, compared to technological barriers.

Research related to blockchain is rapidly gaining importance in the higher education. This opportunity collaborates with a proposal for a review of papers on the main blockchain topic. The bibliometric analysis included 61 peer-reviewed articles published in the Scopus database during the period of 2016 to 2021. This paper offers the identification of gaps in the literature enabling studies on the subject in higher education. The article identifies the main applications of blockchain technology in higher education around the world, as well as suggests future investigations. For further scientific investigation, we propose the operationalization of each of the researched approaches, especially combining the blockchain relationship, artificial intelligence, digital innovation, digital maturity, and customer experience in higher education.

“…Privacy and accreditation process constitute recurrent themes for research on Blockchain in HEIs and with respect to the authentication of academic degrees for students, as it discusses the problem of corrective operations done without altering the existing data and guaranteeing privacy by building new solutions through distributed ledgers [ 36 , 37 ]. It intends to use Blockchain and its characteristics of immutability to ensure the issue of academic certificates, proposing a mechanism to revoke digital diplomas that may have been issued incorrectly [ 16 ].…”

“…It innovatively allows control via on-chain license terms in tracing the evolution of encrypted containers, while accumulating bundles of shareable resources and user records to improve the quality of content [ 35 ]. This trend of research emphasizes diverse systems amongst academic projects, therefore improving higher education in areas such as collaborative virtual reality, 360° courses, Blockchain for digital credentials, and digital tutors, in the process of experiencing and creating new solutions [ 36 ]. It is noteworthy to mention the projects involving Blockchain technologies that are transforming engineering and science education, towards more experimentation [ 9 ] and information and Internet technology [ 2 , 12 , 36 ].…”

“…Furthermore, users should deal with diverse issues that complicate security, such as primary keys and public keys [ 21 ]. Hence, Blockchain usability should be improved through new design interfaces that are more responsive to users, while training in its use should be delivered to professors, students, and staff [ 36 ], as the majority of the academic community is unaware of this technology [ 40 ]. Therefore, further studies on Blockchain usability are required.…”

Blockchain has emerged as an important concept at the interface of ICT and higher education. It is a system in which a record of transactions is maintained across several computers that are linked in a peer-to-peer network. Hence, it allows the creation of a decentralized environment, where data are not under the control of any third-party organization. This study presents a Systematic Bibliometric Literature Review (LRSB in further text) of research on blockchain applications in the higher education field. The review integrated 37 articles presenting up-to-date knowledge on current implications pertaining to the use of blockchain technology for improving higher education processes. The LRSB findings indicate that blockchain is being used to build up new interventions to improve the prevailing ways of sharing, delivering and securing knowledge data and personal student records. The application of blockchain technology is carrying on a conceptual progress in the higher education sector where it has added substantial value by ameliorated efficiency, effectiveness, privacy control, technological improvement and security of data management mechanisms. Challenges posed by current literature and further research directions are suggested.
