This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research study analyzed undergraduate computer science students' perceptions of using a Blockchain Digital Identity Management System (BDIMS). Students participated by sending a pseudo official transcript through an actively running Blockchain system. An explanatory sequential mixed-method research design was utilized and began with a primary quantitative analysis followed by a secondary qualitative analysis. Students completed one twenty-five item Likert-type survey and at a later date one five item open-ended questionnaire. A framework and instrument were developed out of this study in absence of any existing in the literature. Two research questions guided this study: 1) "Is there a relationship between undergraduate students' Behavioral Intention to adopt the BDIMS and their perceptions towards using the BDIMS as measured by six Adoption Factors: 1) Relative Advantage, 2) Perceived Ease of Use, 3) Result Demonstrability, 4) Compatibility, 5) Trialability, and 6) Subjective Norm?" and 2) "How do six adoption factors 1) Relative Advantage, 2) Perceived Ease of Use, 3) Result Demonstrability, 4) Compatibility, 5) Trialability, and 6) Subjective Norm impact students' Behavioral Intention to adopt a Blockchain Digital Identity Management System?". Quantitative findings indicated that Subjective Norm is the only statistically significant predictor of students' Behavioral Intention to adopt the BDIMS. This is further supported by the qualitative findings which show that Subjective Norm has an impact on Behavioral Intention. Contrary to quantitative findings, the qualitative findings indicate that Perceived Ease of Use impacts Behavioral Intention to adopt the BDIMS.

This book was released on 2023-08-18 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the current and future impacts of blockchain technologies, such as cryptocurrency, on the education system. Blockchain is a disruptive technology based on a shared, distributed ledger, where transactions are registered by consensus in a network of peers, using cryptographic mechanisms that render the records virtually immutable and, ideally, enable transparency, auditability, and resilience. What role, then, could it play in fostering transformative approaches such as student-centred teaching and learning, distributed learning environments, and lifelong learning? This book provides essential perspectives into blockchain applications and challenges within education and offers a broader view of blockchain technology against existing information and communication technologies used in education. Spanning the effects on institutions, students, and the labor market, these chapters offer critical reviews and analyses of current research, practical first-hand applications of blockchain in education, and original conceptual models.
Download or read book The Potential of Blockchain Technology in Education written by Tahir Lushi and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2020-09-21 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Computer Science - Internet, New Technologies, Bielefeld University, language: English, abstract: This paper aims to show possibilities of the blockchain technology in the field of education. It seeks to theoretically conceptualize a platform, which could be used by universities, students, and employers to manage ECTS credits and degree certificates. This means a platform, through which the university would issue ECTS credits to students as tokens after successfully passing an exam and consequently a degree certificate after getting the needed number of credits/tokens. Students would be able to show their achievements to their potential employers or to another university through showing their public key. A case study in this paper will be the EduCTX platform, which offers a relatively well thought solution to the above-mentioned problems. This platform will be described in detail and it will also get expanded with some new ideas to make it even more suitable for the stakeholders. The paper starts with a very brief description of blockchain and its characteristics, to continue thereafter with the possible uses of blockchain in the education industry and especially higher education. Case studies will follow and will also be advanced and adopted to the situation. To conclude the paper there will be a combination of the described solutions in one hypothetical case of five universities that offer a joint degree.

Download or read book Investigative Success Factors Concerning Adoption of Blockchain Technology on Behalf of E Government Improvement written by Chang Li and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability of blockchain technology to record transactions on distributed ledgers offers new opportunities for governments to improve transparency, prevent fraud, and establish trust in the public sector. However, blockchain adoption and use in the context of e-Government is rather unexplored in academic literature. In this paper we systematically review relevant research to understand the current research topics, challenges and future directions regarding blockchain adoption for e- Government. The results show that the adoption of blockchain based applications in e-Government is still very limited and there is a lack of empirical evidence. The main challenges faced in blockchain adoption are predominantly presented as technological aspects such as security, scalability and flexibility. From an organizational point of view the issues of acceptability and the need of new governance models are presented as the main barriers to adoption. Moreover, the lack of law and regulatory support is identified as the main environmental barrier of adoption. Based on the challenges presented in the literature, we propose future research questions that need to be addressed to inform the best approach in blockchain adoption for e-Government systems.
Download or read book The Fourth Industrial Revolution written by Klaus Schwab and published by Currency. This book was released on 2017-01-03 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World-renowned economist Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, explains that we have an opportunity to shape the fourth industrial revolution, which will fundamentally alter how we live and work. Schwab argues that this revolution is different in scale, scope and complexity from any that have come before. Characterized by a range of new technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, the developments are affecting all disciplines, economies, industries and governments, and even challenging ideas about what it means to be human. Artificial intelligence is already all around us, from supercomputers, drones and virtual assistants to 3D printing, DNA sequencing, smart thermostats, wearable sensors and microchips smaller than a grain of sand. But this is just the beginning: nanomaterials 200 times stronger than steel and a million times thinner than a strand of hair and the first transplant of a 3D printed liver are already in development. Imagine “smart factories” in which global systems of manufacturing are coordinated virtually, or implantable mobile phones made of biosynthetic materials. The fourth industrial revolution, says Schwab, is more significant, and its ramifications more profound, than in any prior period of human history. He outlines the key technologies driving this revolution and discusses the major impacts expected on government, business, civil society and individuals. Schwab also offers bold ideas on how to harness these changes and shape a better future—one in which technology empowers people rather than replaces them; progress serves society rather than disrupts it; and in which innovators respect moral and ethical boundaries rather than cross them. We all have the opportunity to contribute to developing new frameworks that advance progress.
Download or read book Digital and Social Media Marketing written by Nripendra P. Rana and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-11 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines issues and implications of digital and social media marketing for emerging markets. These markets necessitate substantial adaptations of developed theories and approaches employed in the Western world. The book investigates problems specific to emerging markets, while identifying new theoretical constructs and practical applications of digital marketing. It addresses topics such as electronic word of mouth (eWOM), demographic differences in digital marketing, mobile marketing, search engine advertising, among others. A radical increase in both temporal and geographical reach is empowering consumers to exert influence on brands, products, and services. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and digital media are having a significant impact on the way people communicate and fulfil their socio-economic, emotional and material needs. These technologies are also being harnessed by businesses for various purposes including distribution and selling of goods, retailing of consumer services, customer relationship management, and influencing consumer behaviour by employing digital marketing practices. This book considers this, as it examines the practice and research related to digital and social media marketing.
