Developing Ethereum Blockchain-Based Document Verification Smart Contract for Moodle Learning Management System
Abstract
In the traditional educational understanding, individuals follow the path of getting graduate or post-graduate education if they wish, after continuing their education from kindergarten to high school. Today, by getting out of this stereotype, every literate person can choose different learning environments. Now, learning any subject is up to the tip of the fingers of an individual without depending on a school building with four walls or on certain time frame. In this study, it is aimed to verify digital certificates given to the participants at the Turkish stage of the International Informatics and Computational Thinking event by using Ethereum Block Chain based smart contract. The tasks in the event were transmitted to the students in Turkey via using exam module of the Moodle Learning Management System. For this study, first a smart contract was developed in which the certificate information could be stored on the Ethereum blockchain and could be check for control purposes if necessary. Then the certificate module developed by the researcher in 2014 which uses block structure in the Moodle Learning Management System was updated and then provided to work in accordance with the smart contract in the Ethereum blockchain.
