Blockchain Innovations in Education: Empowering Students with Smart Contracts

Abstract

A lot of people are interested in how blockchain technology can be used in education because it has the potential to change everything. The main point of this study is to investigate how the Internet of Things (IoT), smart contracts, and blockchain technology can be used to give students more power in the classroom. Traditional school systems have a lot of problems when it comes to being open, safe, and effective. When old-fashioned ways of keeping records and managing data are used, wrong information, fraud, and not being able to access data are possible outcomes. In the past, though, studies have been done on separate parts of these technologies. This work suggests a complete plan to fix current issues in the education field that makes use of how blockchain technology, smart contracts, and the IoT can work together. The study uses a mixed-methods approach, which means that it uses both qualitative and quantitative evaluations. The results show that there is an effect that is good for student empowerment because it makes it easier for students to get to learning materials and generally lowers the amount of work that needs to be done.
