Blockchain, which is also called a distributed ledger technology (DLT), is an emerging and ever advancing technology having flourishing potential for nourishing and revolutionizing higher education. It stems in decentralization and distributed learning with characteristics of permanence of records, pursuit and transfer of knowledge, authority of institutions, and reliability of teaching and learning. These characteristics of blockchain attract educational institutions particularly the higher education institutions to adopt it. However, in spite of all potential and benefits of blockchain technology, the higher education stakeholders currently seem to be less aware of the social benefits and educational/instructional potential of blockchain technology. It can be addressed through proper advocacy and campaign. The complete chapter will demonstrate possibilities of blockchain technologies in higher education along with its issues and challenges.

Each country in Asia will apply a halal assurance system (HAS) to get a halal certificate and logo. The problem with HAS in Asia is that every country has its own halal standard rules. This problem raises a trade dispute because imported products cannot enter another state market due to different halal standards. So, we need the same halal standards for every country in Asia, one of which requires transparency in each country's HAS. However, the HAS documentation process currently has several shortcomings, such as document fraud and transparency during internal and external audits. This chapter aims to discuss blockchain technology's development in solving internal audit problems to improve its performance, and blockchain technology can improve efficiency, transparency, and traceability of original documents, thereby enhancing the overall halal certification process. And it is hoped that this research will be taken into consideration for those who will make the same halal standards for every country in Asia.

The purpose of this paper is to integrate quality management system, corporate social responsibility guidelines, United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, blockchain related documents and qualitative interview results from Hong Kong and Slovakia to design a set of social inclusive quality indicators within the context of the higher education sector. Three levels for social inclusive quality indicators in relation to blockchain content distribution technology in HE have been identified: governance with transparency, trust building with the sustainable community in needs fulfilment; industry innovations with risk and security audit mechanism. The contribution of this paper is to raise awareness of educators, industry practitioners and policy makers about the importance of social inclusion in blockchain technology. This study fills the gap through integrating system thinking, humanistic thinking and proactive thinking in the higher education context.

The current paper focuses on the potential of using Blockchain Technology (BCT) in the Higher Education Domain and explores its usefulness in solving Higher Education issues. This research discusses the Blockchain features, challenges and its benefits in education, followed by review of some current Blockchain Higher Education applications. This paper reviews the Blockchain Technology (BCT) and its implementation in Higher Education. This research used a quantitative methodology and stratified clustered simple random sampling approach. Data has been gathered through an online survey instrument and the partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) technique applied to 383 responses. Blockchain technology has its unique features, benefits that can solve Education system requirements, and its successful implementation issues discussed. An effort made to gather enough consensus to build future implementation. The integrated model of Blockchain features matched to the needs of the Education System by agreement of the experts (discussions), and a survey conducted involving the students, teachers, educationists, Blockchain experts, and professionals, is tested and validated by SEM using PLS.

Currently, technologies are developing very quickly and the need for information security is constantly increasing. In this connection, Blockchain technology is becoming in demand, which allows us to keep information safety and integrity. In addition, the technology enables the creation of a decentralized environment where transactions and data are take place without any third party organization. We proposed a decentralized web resource based on the Ethereum platform for managing student credits. The decentralized application (Dapp), will process, manage and control tokens, which represent credits that students gain for completed certain courses. The credit system is a first step towards a more transparent and technologically advanced form which could be used by universities and students to manage credits. The novelty of this scientific research is the creation of a web-based information resource based on Blockchain technology. Thanks to this resource, it becomes possible to track students' grades and receive reliable information about higher education. This completely eliminates the possibility of making changes to existing records.

The digitalisation wave has swept every aspect of the society be it daily chores, to shopping,to travel to manufacturing to retailing to advancements in medicine and so on. How can education be untouched by the transformations that the digitalisation is bringing to this sector? Technological impact on Indian higher education is expected to increase. The Higher Education sector is already experimenting with technological solutions like Digital Marketing, Chatbots, Lead management, Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning, Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality, Cloud computing & Blockchain Technology. There are various EDUTECHs that are working in the areas like admissions, counselling, online learning, placements, alumni associations, operations, assessments. This paper attempts to evaluate the digitalisation scenario in higher education, key technologies & its drivers & will identify the EDUTECH solutions that will help in accelerating the digitalisation in higher education
