Abstract
With the prosperity of the Internet, online education has entered a period of rapid development. However, the online learning systems in universities still have some problems, such as the quality of teaching resources are monotonous and uneven, lack of sharing and insufficient education evaluation standards. Therefore it is difficult to motivate students to sustain their interest in learning, leaving educators with little confidence on online education. This paper analyses how to combine blockchain technologies with online learning system in order to design innovative applications, and proposes the establishment of university education chain to promote the sharing of high-quality online resources, protection on the copyright of online resources, establishing the Ethereum token-based incentive mechanism for participants, tracking and recording of the learning behaviour of students to prevent forgery of learning certificates, and creating a fair and reasonable learning evaluation.
