APPLYING BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY GRADE MANAGEMENT IN UNIVERSITY: A CASE STUDY IN VIETNAM
Tóm tắt
In modern education, transparency in grade management is essential to maintaining fairness and trust among schools, teachers, and students. Traditional systems that rely on centralized databases are vulnerable to cyberattacks, unauthorized modifications, and system failures, which may lead to data loss or manipulation. Therefore, a new technological solution is required to ensure secure, transparent, and fair grade management, preventing fraud and enabling easy verification for all stakeholders. This study addresses this need by applying blockchain technology to develop a grade management website that ensures security and transparency through the use of blockchain and smart contracts. The system securely manages student grades in a tamper-proof manner across courses and semesters. It involves building a private blockchain, deploying smart contracts, and integrating blockchain interaction libraries. A user-friendly interface enables students and teachers to view grades by semester, course, or cumulative results, with every grade update recorded transparently on the blockchain.
