Blockchain for education and skills? A big maybe. - Michael Prebil, New America

Blockchain is a record-keeping system comprised of a continuously growing list of data batches called blocks. The most recent block serves as a ledger of each user’s current resources; the set of all blocks ever written (the blockchain) contains the whole history of transactions made by users. For the moment, possible uses for blockchain in education and employment center on two objectives: increasing the shareability of educational credentials and enabling workforce collaboration between competing employers. https://www.newamerica.org/education-policy/edcentral/blockchain-for-education-and-skills/
