Abstract:
In the era of digitisation, innovative technologies and Information & Communication Technology (ICT) systems have transformed many areas and domains. The same cannot be said for Higher Education, especially as this concerns the certification of degrees, qualifications and other accreditations of students and job seekers that are still largely in paper form and require manual and time-consuming processes. Given that such documents are pertinent not only for education purposes but also for the job market and Human Resources-related (HR) processes of private and public organisations, there is a growing need for automatic and trustworthy systems that can handle qualification certification while at the same time providing added value for the job market. This paper is written under the context of the EU-funded project QualiChain that aspires to investigate the impact of disruptive technologies, such as blockchain, semantics, data analytics and gamification in the domain of public education, as well as the interfaces of the latter with the fields of private education, the labour market, and public sector administrative procedures.. The scope of this publication is to perform a landscape analysis on commercial tools and frameworks that operate in the aforementioned domains and compare them to the projected functionality of the QualiChain platform.
