Abstract

This article addresses the issue of insufficient trust in online learning platforms, particularly the lack of recognition of online learning by universities. By analyzing the characteristics of online education platforms, it proposes the integration of blockchain technology, utilizing its decentralized and tamper-proof nature. The idea is to form an online learning certification alliance with online learning platforms, universities, and authoritative organizations, jointly developing and certifying credit recognition rules. This approach aims to break down trust barriers between different organizations, enabling the recording of student learning processes on the blockchain. This results in a secure, transparent ledger that is difficult to alter, facilitating the sharing of resources and traceability of learning records. The establishment of an O2O learning model recognized by the alliance will promote the integration of online and offline education models in universities, offering significant practical significance and broad application prospects for inter-university credit recognition in China.
