Details of the Challenge

The ideas or solutions should either (a) fundamentally open up new areas of application for blockchain in education, or (b) address the following dimensions:

• Quality assurance: How can access to high quality educational content be ensured via tokenized education?
• Accessibility: How can access to educational content be democratized and made accessible to broad populations?
• Trust economy: How can educational certificates be issued and verified via a decentralized certification network?
• How can the information sovereignty of the learners be guaranteed (keyword: Self-Sovereign-Identity)?
• How can decentralized trust architectures make existing structures and formats of higher education more efficient and flexible (e.g. facilitating mobility through simplified certificate awarding in cooperation networks or through transparent recognition of foreign degrees)?
• Micro-assessment: How can the award of tailored certificates be made more flexible and adapted to an individualized labor market?
• Disintermediation: How can the direct exchange between learners and lecturers be improved via transparent rating mechanisms and made independent of intermediaries?
• How can rating mechanisms for transparent assessment of teaching formats/content and learning outcomes be optimized through tokenized education?
• How can blockchain be used for plagiarism assessment
