Blockchain Enabled Smart Learning Environment Framework

Abstract

Smart learning provides a holistic learning to students with a major paradigm shift by using modern day technologies. The Learning Management systems are mostly built using traditional standard frameworks like that of IEEE Learning Technology Systems Architecture (LTSA). These frameworks are not suitable to smart learning environment as they lack several desired features to qualify for smartness levels in learning. In this paper a modified block chain enabled LTSA framework is proposed to realize the sense level of smartness. The proposed framework is evaluated for various security threats suitable in virtual learning. The risk impact factor for several threats is compared for several threat patterns and it is observed that risk impact factor sufficiently reduced in the proposed framework as compared to that of LTSA.
