Abstract
Educational learning contents, usually developed by instructional designers to provide learning specification and impart knowledge and skills to learners, are often only updated or changed in the yearly course revisions. This can be presented with some challenges, especially to courses on emerging subjects and catering to diversified learners, which includes the ability to provide adaptive and updated learning contents to the learners, and the opportunity to continually incorporate feedback from all stakeholders. Characteristic of Blockchain, such as secure, privacy, and consensus makes the technology adaptable for open and collaborative applications. In this paper, we propose a framework that uses artificial intelligence with blockchain smart contracts to support an open platform that gives stakeholders flexible access to content creation where individual learners can obtain extra contents as needed and updated knowledge can be shared and built upon easily to enrich the learning contents.
