How will Blockchain technology and Metaverse help in education?
Blockchain is basically a sophisticated and advanced database mechanism that enables transparency in the exchange of information in a business network. It can affect education in the following ways:
- Enhancing transparency and accountability in the education sector.
- Student record-keeping.
- Smart contracts for courses and assignments.
- Ease of certification authenticity.
The Metaverse, on the other hand, is a series of interconnected, lifelike virtual realms where people can interact with their companions, engage in games, generate games, labour, and shop. It is similar to being in cyberspace or having access to a more developed form of the internet that is three-dimensional, and you do not need to spend time logging in. The metaverse can affect education in the following ways:
- Accessibility and inclusivity.
- Collaboration and social learning.
- Immersive and interactive learning.
- Personalized learning.
Thus, with these newly gained benefits, Chandigarh University has made sure that the students get the utmost satisfaction with their learning.
