外文摘要：Due to the unique characteristics of decentralization and security, blockchain is believed to have considerable potential to provide a wide range of benefits for education development. Its application in education is relatively new but increasing very quickly. This paper introduced the typical blockchain techniques and characteristics briefly. Then, recent applications of blockchain in education were summarized comprehensively, especially those regarding learning record keeper, certificate issue and management, and decentralized education ecosystem. Finally, technical and non-technical challenges were discussed. It is hoped to provide an in-depth look at the perspectives of blockchain in evolving education and help to the development of new application systems.
