Connecting Lifelong Learning Logs and Distributed User Models Using Blockchain

在最初的四个月里，这项研究按计划取得了进展。首先，对区块链在教育中的使用和设计进行了审查，这为这一新兴领域提供了重要的见解。此外，我们还将现有的解决方案与我们提出的系统--学习区块链（BOLL）进行了比较。值得注意的是，BOLL系统已经通过开发新功能得到了增强，例如以时间轴方式对终身学习日志进行可视化。这些功能被集成到一个学习分析仪表板中，该仪表板有可能为教育工作者和学生提供有价值的见解。同样，发表了一份国际会议论文，提出了一个用于报告和分析区块链评估结果的概念框架。本文通过提出一个可用于促进区块链在评估实践中的使用的综合框架，为文献做出了贡献。此外，我们发表了一篇期刊论文，对区块链在教育中的应用进行了系统的回顾和实际案例研究。本文提供了一个全面的概述，该领域的状态，并强调了未来研究的重要方向。这项研究有助于促进我们对区块链在教育中的作用的理解，并有助于开发新的工具和方法来支持学习和教学。总体而言，这项研究在短时间内取得了实质性进展。预计完成的活动将有助于促进区块链教育领域的知识进步，并提供有价值的见解。

During the first four months, this research has progressed according to plan. Firstly, a review was conducted on the use and design of blockchain in education, which offered significant insights into this emerging field. In addition, we compared existing solutions to our proposed system, the Blockchain of Learning Logs (BOLL). Notably, the BOLL system has been enhanced by the development of new features, such as visualizations for lifelong learning logs in a timeline manner. These features were integrated into a learning analytics dashboard, which has the potential to provide valuable insights for educators and students.Similarly, an international conference paper was published, which presented a conceptual framework for reporting and analyzing assessment results on the blockchain. This paper contributes to the literature by proposing a comprehensive framework that can be used to facilitate the use of blockchain in assessment practices.Furthermore, we published a journal paper that presents a systematic review and practical case studies on blockchain in education. The paper offers a comprehensive overview of the state of the field and highlights important directions for future research. The study contributes to advancing our understanding of the role of blockchain in education and in developing new tools and approaches to support learning and teaching.Overall, this research has made substantial progress in a short time. The activities completed is expected to contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the field of blockchain in education and offer valuable insights.
