O
Objective

5.  The absence of
collaborative learning
platforms among students of
different universities
 Formal exchanging of
projects, eliminating
copyright issues and
plagiarism
 Secure and reliable project
trade
Motivation

6.  Currently there are no channels for
different university students to share
and work on their ideas
collaboratively
 The main concern was for plagiarism
in students’ senior year projects.
 There exists no accountability in the
trade of projects between students
Background

7.  A student from any university
can search for a project that
he/she is looking for on Project
Block
 After finding it, he/she can
request for the project
 They can negotiate the price
and terms and conditions.
 When a student buys/sells a
project, the transaction will be
recorded on the blockchain
along with the details
Working

8.  ProjectBlock is a blockchain
based solution
 The projects can be searched
through a frontend developed on
angular4
 Every project will have a
description
 Every block of blockchain will
contain project transaction
record and the terms and
conditions the participant has
agreed upon
 These terms and conditions in
are set by seller/buyer and the
ProjectBlock team
Methodology

10.  Collaborative learning has
always been a problem for
university students
 ProjectBlock is a reliable
platform for academic project
trade
 ProjectBlock is a plagiarism-
proof solution
Conclusion

11. Why use ProjectBlock when there
are other repositories available?
ProjectBlock ensures secure trade of academic
projects with transaction records (details with terms
and conditions) stored on the blockchain. There is no
way to manipulate the data on the blockchain as
everyone who is part of it has a full copy of the
blockchain. It eliminates copyright issues and
plagiarism. It creates an environment of collaborative
learning across different universities.
