This same digital infrastructure can be used to verify important claims and credentials, including educational and academic records. Within education, significant momentum exists worldwide to use blockchain technology for issuing, sharing, and verifying educational experiences and qualifications. This chapter provides an overview of blockchain technology and spotlights its use in education to create portable, interoperable, user-controlled digital credentials.
