14. Some conclusions...
• Computer clouds form the technical and economic basis of modern information technology
and provide most of the services to a wide range of customers around the world.
• It is in the clouds that new technologies and services are born in and delivered from.
Without the use of global clouds, it is impossible to stay at the current technical level.
• Clouds provide low cost, constant availability and the best possible protection for user data.
• Clouds for the first time have made the entire range of modern information technologies
available to the vast majority of educational institutions of any profile, size and location.
Using quite simple standard computers one can use in the work and teach students most
modern technologies and tools.

20. Where blockchain is
useful
• Where there is a natural side to which
everyone trusts (forced to be trusted)
• Where participants rely on a third party (e.g.
the State) to hold offenders accountable
• Where the risk of conflicting coalitions is high
• Where the benefits of some individual
participants from the destruction of the
service can be compared to benefits of
others from its proper functioning
• Where there is no single "natural" trust
center (such as government agency etc.)
• Where there are many routine
transactions and participants need to
reduce their price
• Where the majority of participants are
interested in the development and
correct functioning of the service
…and where is
not so much

21. Example: blockchain and formation
• Issuance and verification of
diplomas and certificates
• Monitoring of learning activity
• Olympics and contests
• Fighting plagiarism
• Consumables accounting
• Payments for educational
services
• Payments for related services
and internal cross payments
• Targeted scholarships
• Endowment
BLOCKCHAIN
AT EDUCATION
http://www.e-learn.nl/2017/11/10/blockchain-in-education-report

22. Example: Nicosia University
The University of Nicosia opened a specialization in blockchain, was the first
to issue a diploma in blockchain and even accept payment in bitcoins

23. Some conclusions...
• Blockchain can solve many problems: lowering transaction costs, simplifying business processes in
decentralized multi-agent systems with limited trust, etc. It will change the face of many industries,
including finance and insurance, the food market, copyright, and perhaps even education.
• Blockchain is likely to be of limited use where parties to transactions rely on a third party (including
the government) to enforce the terms of contracts.
• Blockchain solutions have only now begun to reach a level of maturity sufficient for really sensitive
applications.
• We rely on blockchain in some futuristic scenarios such as IoT controllers' involvement in financial
transactions, tax payments, etc.
• In education, blockchain can help create and monitor student portfolios, international
student/institution interactions, qualifications for employers, education finance management, etc.

54. How smart are
these services?
To model neurons and connections between them
one need large computational resources.
AI systems, practically used today, implement not so
much the intelligence as the instincts of animals like insects.
Using even the most powerful modern computer we could
potentially simulate intelligence at the level between the
crocodile and hamster.
But in ten years, the situation will change a lot.
Most likely, the General AI will appear in the course of
commercial cloud-based AI services development instead
of being created on a special supercomputer.

Challenges and
opportunities
Knowledge of basic statistics
and linear algebra is enough
to understand
There are convenient tools
and software libraries
Some countries already have
begun to incorporate the
basics of AI into school
curricula
Understanding the basics of
AI will help distinguish truth
from lying and manipulation
Will helps to understand the
data (e.g. open data
published by Gov etc.)
Will help one to make
informed decisions
To be successful, one needs
more creativity now.
One need to have the skills
to use AI
We have to be prepared to
deal with ethical issues
related to AI usage

61. A robot
in the classroom ?
A lesson
without a teacher ?
No !
Restrictions on contact with teachers and
fellow students should be seen as a
serious problem in the design of any
online education system and should only
be allowed on a limited scale if strictly
necessary. Aldwyn Cooper. Robot teachers won’t replace us. September 25, 2017
https://www.timeshighereducation.com/opinion/robot-teachers-wont-replace-us

62. AI in education
Illustration from the classic article:
Seth Fletcher, Machine Learning, Scientific American 309, 62-68 (2013)
• Personalization of courses, progression and content.
• Personalization of testing.
• Predictive learning analytics.
• Early professional diagnostics.
• Training courses analysis.
• Helping students communicate with peers around the world.
• Diagnosis of students' understanding of the material and the emotional
state of the student and teacher.
• Assisting in the development of a "personal educational trajectory" and a
plan for the next lesson (much like a Netflix does with entertainment).
• Assisting teachers in course preparation.
• Assisting administrators in educational planning.
• "Non-training” applications: support for decision-making in loan systems,
resource management, campus management, etc.

63. Some conclusions...
• Artificial intelligence and, in particular, deep learning technologies, are rapidly evolving.
Perspective ideas emerge and are implemented almost daily in an open exchange of
information between the academic and business communities.
• AI systems can already do work that was considered purely human until recently. In order to feel
confident in the labor market, graduates should be better prepared and, most importantly, more
creative, than before.
• The use of AI creates many opportunities, but it also creates many problems. Artificial
information agents are entrusted with increasingly important tasks. We need to learn how to
treat them properly and teach them morals.
• Data Science and Machine Learning are the basis of modern rational understanding of the
world. Teaching the conscious use of AI is one of important task of education.
• AI is increasingly used in training - for personalization, gamification, results analysis, planning.
But there is no evidence that AI will replace teachers.

76. Ethics of technology usage
Modern technologies increase comfort, safety and efficiency. But when using them, one should
avoid privacy invasion.
In particular... :
• Monitoring should be agreed to by the students and/or their parents.
• Data should only be used for the purposes agreed with them.
• They must not be stored longer than necessary for the production process.
• No decisions regarding students should be made automatically or solely based on an
automated system data and/or recomendations.
• All systems should be carefully reviewed to ensure that there is no explicit or implicit (including
inadvertent) discrimination on any grounds.
• Data should be securely stored and may only be shared with third parties as required by law.

83. A bit of futurism
Institute For The Future (IFTF) and
ACT Foundation and ACT’s Center
for Equity in Learning proposed
novel model of knowledge
acquisition and development

84. Idea 1: common ledger
It is possible to enhance the flexibility, reactivity and
quality of the education system, and to reduce its
associated overhead costs, if to ensure automated
storage and unified exchange of the verifiable
documents about courses, qualifying exams, and the
level of education between students, teachers and
educational institutions, certification bodies and
employers
http://blockchain.open.ac.uk/

85. Idea 2: Lifelong learning/education
http://blockchain.open.ac.uk/
Education is not just a diploma. This is a set of all completed
training courses, practices, projects, work experience,
corporate trainings, professional development, independent
study in free time, etc. Life is learning, to reflect this
experience, one could collect all the facts about educational
activities in the form of a secure verifiable machine-readable
chain of records, i.e. in the blockchain

86. Idea 3: Personalized education
http://7vershin.ru/photos/all/section_35/item_5675/
There is no royal path to geometry. But everyone can have
their own way to knowledge. The goals of each, too, can be
different. Instead of choosing one for all, ideal for nobody,
universal order of learning let’s help everyone to choose
their own way. And the guidelines on this path will be the
convenience of studying and the needs of society.

87. Idea 4: knowledge and skills are assets, the value of
which can and should be measured and acknowledged
New technologies allow:
• Collect data on each student's "lesson" (blockchain);
• Track each lesson's contribution to a student's future career,
earnings, and recognition (big data);
• Determine the value and adequacy of each lesson for each
next student and give him an opportunity to informed
choice (machine learning).

88. "Quantum leap" in education

One diploma
One university
One school certificate
One educational program

96. Edu-blocks and Artificial Intelligence
• Edu-blocks are selected for each student individually, taking into account
her/his goals, personal qualities, material, etc. (in many ways similar to how
the films are selected by Netflix).
• In the edu-block class, we can not simply indicate which blocks it refers to as
preconditions. We need to formulate criteria that allow to select suitable blocks
(including new ones) using AI algorithms.
• The content of each instance of the edu-bloc needs to be modified taking
into account which blocks were previously passed to match the designations,
units of measure, style of presentation.
• AI can "come up" with control tasks and check their solutions.
• AI conducts a dialogue with the student, contributing to the mastering of the
material and the decision of organizational questions.
• AI is used to prevent abuses during the performance of the control tasks and
attestation (one can expect both the unfair assistance of friends and parents,
and the emergence of special programs for the online passage of
certifications instead of students).

97. Motivation:
success in life and in the game
Digitalization of education does not imply total exclusion of
teachers from the process, but the role of online education
will definitely grow. How to keep the motivation?
• For some students, a good motivation will be the ability to
monitor their achievements on a daily basis, compare them
with the successes of others, and assess the contribution of
the work done to future professional success and well-
being.
• For others, gamification would be a good option, where
education is organized as a sort of quest with a variety of
options, missions, visual effects, perhaps, a team game,
competitions, etc.

98. Education and career
To associate education with professional success, it is necessary to integrate the management system
of edu-blocks with the professional social network (aka LinkedIn) – it is also a large complex graph

99. Economics of edu-blocks
https://youtu.be/DcP78cLPGtE
• The class of blocks can be sold, bought, granted/presented to the subject of
the educational process – school, university, teacher, qualification commission,
enterprise, consumer service, public organization, the state, etc.
• The block can be sold, bought, granted/presented, sponsored to the object of
the educational process – student, team, robot or information service.
• The value of the block class increases with the success of students who have
passed their instances of edu-blocks
• The value of classes affects the value of the content and tools they use
• For employers, educational institutions and qualification commissions, the"
value" of the student grows with the growth of the total value of the passed
blocks and completed certifications (exams, Olympiads, etc.).
• The student can present his/her personal learning path (plan, curriculum) to
his/her sponsors/ investors with a reasonable assessment of each block's
contribution to the future earnings
• The learning process can be mutual (but can edu-block classes be generated
dynamically in the course live classroom communication?)

100. Blockchain and the data ownership in edu
Blockchain naturally provides complete and unchangeable distributed ledger. Is it always an advantage ?
Data transfer and disclosure
Person (student, employee, etc.) or her/his legitimate representatives (parents, educational institutions, state
bodies, employers, etc.) should be able to control, which records could be disclosed to whom, why, and when.
This is mandatory natural requirement to be reflected in architecture and its implementation.
Right to be forgotten
They also may want to omit or exclude some records. This is trickier.
Physically deleted records may cause “orphan” blocks in blockchain, destroy
ratings quality, misinform subjects of edu process, etc. Such functionality
to be designed and implemented carefully. Say, through making some
records completely unreadable and unidentifiable, but still “visible” to
bulk analytics (ratings, etc.). Some records may be prohibited from
“being forgotten” by future law/regulation.

101. Other potential issues
with the "radically new approach“ to edu
• Preparation of the necessary content and changes in educational processes will require a long re-training of authors
and teachers. The transition period can take 10+ (?) years.
• The rating system will begin to operate gradually. It will take a long transition period, while it is "configured" and
“tuned” on the real life examples. At this time, the role of regulators and educational institutions should remain in
some form.
• Edu-block based system will meet the current needs of society and economy, but will not help much to change the
education system "in response to external challenges" (as in the US in response to the satellite).
• If some “ill" practices (low pay for socially important skilled labor, etc.) are rooted in the society, this system will rather
"preserve" than “correct” them.
• The system may face the "digital analogs" of existing abuse (false exams, "fake" accreditation, etc.) – society should
become intolerant to them, and the violations should have serious consequences.
• Collective social games against the digital edu-system are quite likely to be similar to how they
occur against modern adaptive services, such as Uber (driver groups in Facebook), etc.
• Need refinement and experimentation to implement blockchain based solution of such scale.

108. Ethics of technology usage
Modern technologies increase comfort, safety and efficiency.
But when using them, one should avoid privacy infringements.
In particular... :
• Personal data of teachers, parents and students should be strictly protected.
• They should have full control over their data, in particular to determine who and what data
can be shown.
• In exceptional cases, the data may, in the necessary minimum amount, be shown to a third
party in accordance with the procedure established by law.
And we should never forget that IDENTITY ≠ PORTFOLIO (FILE)
• No decisions regarding students may be made automatically or based solely on automated
systems data/recommendations.
