# Decentralized Learning Platform with Blockchain

> A conceptual blockchain-based approach for a MOOC platform in vocational education that would enable tokenization of learning progress and decentralized certification. The University of Mauritius was mentioned as a potential implementing organization, but no verified data about an actual project or pilot program could be found. The concept aims to create flexible and transparent educational offerings through blockchain technology.

## Description

Decentralised blockchain-based e-learning gives learners control over their educational data and makes course rights platform-independent.

The platform dependency problem: If Coursera or Udemy deletes a course or changes the terms of use, learners lose access to paid content. Blockchain e-learning solves this: course content is stored decentralised on IPFS; buyers receive a token representing access rights; as long as the IPFS network exists, the content is accessible. Course completion certificates as NFTs: irrevocable, valid for life, immediately verifiable. Tokenised micro-credentials: instead of whole courses, individual competence proofs can be issued as tokens. EduBlocks and similar projects demonstrate the technical feasibility.
