“…With the help of blockchain, digital records and certificates can be managed more effectively due to its flexibility and transparency. Gresch, Rodrigues, Scheid, Kanhere and Stiller [18] introduced "UZHBC," which is a blockchain system at the University of Zurich that manages diplomas by considering several stakeholder requirements. Moreover, efficiency and transparency can be achieved among educational institutions, students, and employment agencies by exchanging students' records using the blockchain system for advisory recommendations [26].…”

Recently, blockchain technology has gained considerable attention from researchers and practitioners. This is mainly due to its unique features including decentralization, security, reliability, and data integrity. Despite this growing interest, little is known about the current state of knowledge and practice regarding the use of blockchain technology in education. This article is a systematic review of research investigating blockchain-based educational applications. It focuses on three main themes: (1) educational applications that have been developed with blockchain technology, (2) benefits that blockchain technology could bring to education, and (3) challenges of adopting blockchain technology in education. A detailed results analysis of each theme was conducted as well as an intensive discussion based on the findings. This review also offers insight into other educational areas that could benefit from blockchain technology.

Due to added mobility and the increase in international students worldwide, as well as the current problem regarding the counterfeiting of diplomas and the selling of fraudulent certificates, we propose a technological solution. Namely, to ally blockchain technology to higher education certificates and diplomas, to make the process of checking for academic qualifications more facilitated and transparent. Employers of graduates, as well as higher education institutions which evaluate course applicants, would benefit. Perhaps equally as important, students applying for international degree programs would have their lives simplified. There is an increased pressure to ensure the legitimacy and authenticity of certifications and diplomas—and preferably without the current “hassle” of getting diplomas recognized by official entities. New technological advances, with the development of blockchain and smart contracts, with their characteristics of immutability, decentralization, security, traceability, and consensus, may be considered an excellent match to implement a robust and reliable anti-fraud solution to issue digital diplomas. Radical innovations, such as linking blockchain and higher education diplomas, involve significant change and novelty. Linking blockchain and higher education diplomas could potentially positively impact and benefit millions of people worldwide, especially the younger generations. This study involved a literature review and the searching of the Scopus database (refereed publications) for the following concepts: blockchain and diploma. Existing literature is recent, with most articles (25) published between 2019 and 2020, with 4 in 2018 and only 1 in 2017. This was aligned with our expectations since the development of blockchain utilization outside financial and crypto-assets industries is recent, and it is known as “Blockchain 3.0”. We can additionally affirm that the topic is attracting attention and efforts from researchers worldwide and that some higher education institutions have already implemented ad hoc solutions. As it is, the sector lacks a unified response to the problem of automatic and reliable higher education diploma certification.

Em meio ao constante avanço tecnológico, a validação de documentos acadêmicos segue sendo um desafio para universidades, alunos e o mercado de trabalho. O modelo atual não oferece um método simples e robusto para verificação de autenticidade, armazenamento, e distribuição. Este trabalho apresenta um modelo baseado em blockchain para a validação de documentos acadêmicos sem a necessidade de intermediários ou recorrer a entidade emissora para atestar sua veracidade. O modelo proposto faz uso de blockchain pública que permite amplo acesso, aplicabilidade e redução de custos.
