Published: 08 February 2022 Publication History

Abstract

Blockchain technology is considered to be the most important invention of human society since the birth of the Internet, which is deeply influencing the operation concept, organization and business mode of institutions or services such as global governance, economic development, finance and education, especially in the banking, securities, insurance, notarization, music, distributed storage, Internet of things and other industries and fields. At the same time, blockchain technology has also been initially developed in the field of education, and its impact on education and teaching is increasingly reflected. At present, educational institutions, institutions concerned about education and future social development, as well as people of insight, have taken action to guide and utilize blockchain technology in a forward-looking manner by providing blockchain technology teaching and developing a teaching management platform based on blockchain technology, so as to meet the new education and teaching reform. In this paper, the essence, characteristics and development process of blockchain technology are discussed, and the application prospect of blockchain technology in higher education is given. At the same time, thoughts on the development of "blockchain+education" are also put forward, in order to provide reference for exploring the deep integration of modern information technology and education, and leading the innovation of education concept and education mode with informatization.
