    • About this course

      The emergence of Blockchain technology promises to decentralise and revolutionise not only the financial world, but also education. Blockchain technology offers opportunities to thoroughly rethink how we find educational content and tutoring services online, how we register and pay for them, as well as how we get accredited for what we have learned and how this accreditation affects our career trajectory. This free course explores the different aspects of education and lifelong learning that are affected by decentralisation and Blockchain technology.

      This course has been developed by Dr. Alexander Mikroyannidis and was first published in September 2021. The content of this course is also featured on the multi-award winning OpenLearn. Read the relevant OpenLearn articles:
