Abstract

The primary purpose of this paper is to provide a design of a blockchain-based system, which produces a verifiable record of achievements. Such a system has a wide range of potential benefits for students, employers and higher education institutions. A verifiable record of achievements enables students to present academic accomplishments to employers, within a trusted framework. Furthermore, the availability of such a record system would enable students to review their learning throughout their career, giving them a platform on which to plan for their future accomplishments, both individually and with support from other parties (for example, academic advisors, supervisors, or potential employers). The proposed system will help students in universities to increase their extra-curricular activities and improve non-academic skills. Moreover, the system will facilitate communication between industry, students, and universities for employment purposes and simplify the search for the most appropriate potential employees for the job.
