BLOCKCHAIN FOR LIFELONG LEARNING RECORD MANAGEMENT

Abstract

Lifelong learning is fragmented and in different spectra according to users, organizations, lectures and so on. The desire to study is different from children to the elderly and any of them cannot be ignored. Accordingly, the characteristics of the organization and the purpose of a lecture are different by the desired users and this makes lifelong learning data impossible to be included in a standardized framework. That's why we propose a Blockchain-based solution to manage lifelong learning records in a decentralized way. We call it BlockBadges. In the BlockBadges ecosystem, users simply create wallet badges and automatically collect badges from the organization. In this context, a series of data appears because it is created according to the types and attributes of the badges provided by each organization. Lifelong learning statistics can be extracted if this data is organized and analyzed effectively.
