ELEVATING HIGHER EDUCATION CHALLENGES USING BLOCK CHAIN TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

Block chain technology is a modern technology that is digital based and has a provision for storage of information of products that cannot later be hacked neither manipulated. Block chain technology is a technology that looks forward to bringing transformational features that will impact higher education. From the year 2009 when block chain technology was founded, its applications have had a wide range of applications including the education sector and food industry. It is clear from its description that this technology will impact and transform the entire learning sector by enhancing quality and blending with emotional intelligence. The ability of block chain technology to hold and provide information on both employees and learners within the jurisdiction of higher learning is imperative, with benefits such as protection data, accountability and integrity of the University. This Conference paper will consider using block chain technology as a tool for education safety and quality, and therefore it can transform higher education. Block Chain is the centre game and driving wheel to complete revolution in our Kenyan Universities. Effectiveness can be achieved with the help of a quick response code, which include the implementation of QR code on block chain technology. This will make it possible to track information about information delivery, quality assessment throughout their life of students. Additionally, clean data, attendance, and payment systems can be integrated into one block hence providing relevant and necessary information on teaching and comprehension to all. This will make learning more effective with rich, secure and transparent platform in using block chain technology to improve learning and teaching methods.
