Blockchain Ecosystem for Credit Transfer in Education

Data is the key to measuring educational effectiveness promptly. But data and education are trapped and siloed across centralized systems, causing information discrepancies and inaccuracies. This has caused countless delayed opportunities, academic credential disagreements, and never-ending confusion around learning potency. This lack of transparency, despite having its fair share of usefulness, has also been quite burdensome. To alleviate this issue, our team has developed a blockchain protocol that verifies professional certifications that have been earned both locally and through another well-established online educational portal. This system allows accuracy, reliability, and immutability that has never been implemented. This foundation of clear, verified data will then be used further to power blockchain-based applications. The result is that our attempt at a versatile, holistic, and decentralized view of educational performance ensures the best e-learning outcome for students and teachers alike.

Belarusian software for nuclear knowledge management

A review of Belarusian software developed for nuclear knowledge management is presented. It includes the system eLab-Control that is an information system for monitoring the nuclear and radiation safety of the national nuclear regulatory body as well as content management system eLab-Science and the Belarusian educational portal of nuclear knowledge BelNET developed on its base. All the software is based on free software: Debian GNU/Linux, Web-server Apache, the Firebird database server, PHP application server. The system runs under Windows and Linux. The work is carried out through the Internet in multiplayer mode, with the division of access rights by way of widespread browsers. Portal of nuclear knowledge BelNET https://belnet.bsu.by/ is considered from the point of nuclear knowledge management.

Experiences of the NKP 2.0 educational portal during COVID-19 pandemic induced online education

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, most countries had to switch to online education from one day to the other. To aid the educators and students, the NKP 2.0 national educational portal was made publicly available by the Hungarian government in March 2020. This sudden emergency situation urged us to renew and reform the current learning methodologies. Thus, it can be viewed as an accelerator of advancements in this field. The requirements stated in the Hungarian Digital Educational Strategy were almost fully met by the NKP 2.0 portal. It also gained high popularity since its announcement, the number of unique visitors per workday was reaching 82 000. This is a considerable amount, knowing that the number of children in Hungary between the age 7-18 is around 1 million. In this paper we briefly introduce the learning methodological background of the NKP 2.0 portal, and we also describe its main components and intelligent solutions. Furthermore, we present statistical foundings of the usage of our portal during the pandemic, i.e. for what tasks, on which devices and how people were using it. At the end of this school year we carried out a survey to assess user satisfaction, the results of these questionnaires are presented in this paper.

The role of perceived usefulness in moderating the relationship between the DeLone and McLean model and user satisfaction

The aim of this paper is to examine one of the most crucial factors in the “Technology Acceptance Model” proposed by Davis (perceived usefulness) in moderating the “DeLone and McLean” success model in the context of educational portal in Higher Education. Questionnaires were distributed online to 200 respondents and deserved to be analyzed. The respondents were regular students at the University of Bengkulu. Data analysis used Smart-PLS version 3.2.9. The research findings indicated an influence of “system quality, information quality, and service quality partially on user satisfaction” of the educational portal information systems. The result shows that perceived usefulness can strengthen the relationship between system quality, information quality, and service quality to the satisfaction of customer. This research contributes to the development of perceived usefulness variable as a moderating variable affecting the quality of a system, quality of information, and quality of service partially on user satisfaction and finding strategies needed by the University of Bengkulu effective and efficient information system.
