This slide showcases ways of improving security systems of educational institutes. It achieves this through means such as Enhanced Security System, Institutes’ data and confidentiality and secure communication, publishing and copyright protection, secure cloud storage, validation of educational degrees, and cost-effective storage system.

Instructor’s Notes:

Multiple ways to improve educational institutes’ security systems using blockchain are:

Enhanced Security Systems:

• Blockchain can help educational institutes in enhancing their security systems by improving the strength of their infrastructure, by making it more robust
• All institutes worldwide are using security cameras around buildings 
• A blockchain-based security system can offer tamper-proof ledgers, and institutes can share security data across a large network of devices

Institutes’ Data Confidentiality:

• By using the blockchain-based system, students' data, such as financial fees details, addresses, etc., can be kept secure 
• No unauthorized individual can access the data without the permission of members of the system
• Blockchain helps secure private information exchanged between the authorities in chats, messaging apps, and other social media

Publishing and Copyright Protection:

• In universities, students do research on different projects, and professors help these students become a part of their research work
• Publishing the research papers on blockchain could help the new writers and researchers make a break-through without fearing their work getting stolen 
• Research papers are stored in public key and private key format
• Owner can easily monitor the person who accesses research and even monitor access time

Secure Cloud Storage:

• With the emergence and increasing acceptance of online and cloud-based learning, learners and educational institutions are storing more data online
• It helps secure cloud storage through encrypted tamper-proof ledgers that secure data and ensure that it cannot be altered without authority

Validation of Educational Degrees:

• It is difficult and time-consuming to verify university degrees that students present
• By using blockchain technology, students' diplomas or degrees can be made available via blockchain-based mobile applications
• Students can easily share information with whom they want 
• It prevents the global malpractice of forging of degrees

Cost-Effective Storage System:

• Storing digital records, curriculum, degrees in blockchain can be used to do far more than saving credentials
• Universities can use Inter-Planetary File System (IPFS), smart contracts, and peer-to-peer storage systems to migrate their records to decentralized and secure networks
• Institutes in various fields can benefit both financially and technologically by adopting blockchain-based storage systems

This slide showcases multiple difficulties faced while using blockchain technology in education sector. It highlights challenges such as rate of adoption, scalability, security, cost, and legal constraints.

Instructor’s Notes:

The challenges while using blockchain in education system are:

Rate of Adoption:

• The implementation of blockchain can only be accepted if the majority of institutes and employers trust the technology
• The students will benefit from blockchain only if the institutes they are applying to will accept their legitimacy via a blockchain-based application

Scalability:

• All educational institutes have a lot of student and graduates data which can make blockchain scalability a problem
• Each transaction requires peer-to-peer verification, which takes a lot of time. It slows down the speed of transactions on the blockchain

Security:

• Blockchain-based systems provide security as a major characteristic, but it does not imply that blockchain is impenetrable
• Data stored on the blockchain is sensitive, and the institutes should be careful with what they store and how they preserve it
• It requires private or encrypted data on the blockchain to keep it safe from hackers

Cost:

• Adopting blockchain would cost money in computing power and modifying existing infrastructure
• Many institutes lack the knowledge to manage student data on the blockchain platform; this requires training that will involve initial cost

Legal Constraints:

• Regulatory bodies may or may not accept the blockchain-based system due to its decentralized functioning
• Many governments fear decentralization; these will avoid legalizing blockchain-based software
• Start-ups using using blockchain-in-education face multiple challenges in ensuring that their product complies with data protection laws
