“…Both academia [11][12][13] and public entities like the European Commission [46] have recently considered the improvement of the architectures described in the previous section by using Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLTs) like blockchain. Such a technology can be used for implementing higher education and smart campus applications, due to their ability to provide data exchanges among entities that do not necessarily trust each other [47].…”

“…Specifically, blockchain has been suggested for guaranteeing education certificate authenticity [57,58], managing digital copyright information [59], verifying learning outcomes [60,61], or enhancing e-learning interaction [62]. More potential smart campus applications and a deeper analysis on their characteristics can be found in [11][12][13]46].…”

“…In contrast to previous reviews and surveys on smart campuses/universities, which are presented as systematic literature reviews [8,9], are focused on defining certain generic concepts/applications [10], or are centered on specific technologies [11][12][13][14][15][16], this article provides a holistic review that analyzes the application of the latest key technologies and architectures for the development of smart campuses and universities, including the following contributions, which have not been found together in the previous literature.…”

Smart campuses and smart universities make use of IT infrastructure that is similar to the one required by smart cities, which take advantage of Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing solutions to monitor and actuate on the multiple systems of a university. As a consequence, smart campuses and universities need to provide connectivity to IoT nodes and gateways, and deploy architectures that allow for offering not only a good communications range through the latest wireless and wired technologies, but also reduced energy consumption to maximize IoT node battery life. In addition, such architectures have to consider the use of technologies like blockchain, which are able to deliver accountability, transparency, cyber-security and redundancy to the processes and data managed by a university. This article reviews the state of the start on the application of the latest key technologies for the development of smart campuses and universities. After defining the essential characteristics of a smart campus/university, the latest communications architectures and technologies are detailed and the most relevant smart campus deployments are analyzed. Moreover, the use of blockchain in higher education applications is studied. Therefore, this article provides useful guidelines to the university planners, IoT vendors and developers that will be responsible for creating the next generation of smart campuses and universities.

“…In this paper, we give an overview of some recent research on the application of blockchain in the area of higher education and describe our experimental results on implementation of a system for another promising area for blockchain technologyhigher education records (university transcripts). For further study on blockchain in higher education, [8] and [9] (related works section) will be helpful. The best way to incorporate the topic of blockchain into the higher education curriculum for various academic disciplines (computer science, information systems, finance, business, etc.)…”

Blockchain is a decentralized and shared distributed ledger that records the transaction history done by totally different nodes within the whole network. The technology is practically used in the field of education for record-keeping, digital certification, etc. There have already been several papers published on this, but no one can't find a single paper covering the blockchain-based educational projects. So, There is a gap of latest trends to education. Blockchain-based educational projects resolve the issues of today's educators. On that basis, we conclude that there is a need for conducting a systematic literature review. This study, therefore, reviews the artistic gap between these two based on educational projects. For this purpose, the paper focuses on exploring some block-chain based projects and protocols that are used in these projects. It also analyses the block-chain features that are being used and the services are offered by the existing educational projects using block-chain features to improve the execution of this technology in education.
