US Education Department promotes putting student records on blockchain A new government-funded challenge seeks blockchain-based solutions to simplify educational data sharing, but implementation could take time. 23925 Total views Analysis
The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed flaws across various sectors. As a result, a number of government departments are evaluating blockchain-based systems as possible solutions for challenges involving multiparty workflows, record-keeping, transparency and more.
For example, the United States Department of Education recently provided funding for the launch of the “Education Blockchain Initiative.” Referred to as the EBI, this project is led by the American Council on Education — an organization that helps the higher education community shape effective public policy — and is designed to identify ways that blockchain can improve data flow between academic institutions and potential employers.

Transfer credit technology By Shaley Sanders | February 16, 2021 at 6:32 PM MST - Updated February 16 at 6:32 PM
TUCSON, Ariz. (KOLD News 13) - Transferring credits can be a frustrating process, but a team led by the University of Arizona is working to change that.
“Students lose about a year’s worth of college credits every time they transfer,” said Greg Heileman, vice provost for undergraduate education and professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Arizona.
“There are thousands and thousands of universities out there that a student could be coming to us from and they are bringing credits that we have to evaluate to see if they are equivalent to some course we offer,” Heileman said.
