契机还是危机:当“高等教育”遇到“区块链”

When“Higher Education”Meets“Blockchain”:Opportunities or Crises

区块链的本质为一种分布式数据库,兼具去中心化、可追溯性、不可篡改、匿名性、开放性和高信任等特征。当其应用于高等教育后,在"构建全球知识库,实现高校教育资源共享;重构学信管理体系,推动校企高效合作;优化业务流程,推进高校自治管理;提升高校教学质量,促进学生学习;解决高校版权纠纷,保护个人隐私"等方面为高等教育带来发展契机。与此同时,也面临社会认可度亟须提升、系统性能有待改进、存储空间遭遇瓶颈、安全风险亟待解决等诸多危机。面对区块链应用中契机与危机并存之局面,但未来已来,无人能够左右变化,唯有走在变化之前,享受机遇、迎接挑战才是新时代的生存王道。

As a distributed ledger,blockchain technology has the characteristics of decentralization,traceability,immutability,anonymity,openness and high trust.When it is applied to higher education,it will provide opportunities for higher education in the aspects of building a global knowledge base,realizing the sharing of educational resources,reconstructing the management system of learning and information,promoting the efficient cooperation between schools and enterprises,optimizing business processes,promoting autonomous management,improving teaching quality,promoting students’learning,resolving copyright disputes,protecting personal privacy,etc.At the same time,it is also facing many crises,such as the urgent need to improve social recognition,the system performance to be improved,the bottlenecks in storage space,and the threats to privacy and security.Facing the situation where the opportunity and crisis coexist in the application of blockchain in higher education,but in the future,no one can control the changes,enjoying the opportunities and meeting the challenges is the survival king of the new era.
