Credential Blockchains Could Help Student Mobility. These 4 Efforts Explore How.
Excerpt from EdSurge
A private blockchain built in the Hyperledger system helps students move among Dallas-area school districts, the University of North Texas at Dallas, the seven-institution Dallas Community College District and jobs. Called GreenLight, the ledger gives students access to their credential materials, such as transcripts and recommendation letters, and allows them to apply to multiple colleges and scholarship programs at once, making the process easier and more efficient. The tool is designed especially to help first-generation and low-income students, who may struggle with college enrollment.
