Framework for Blockchain Deployment: The Case of Educational Systems

Blockchain is an emerging technology that lacks sophisticated guidelines and frameworks for deployment purposes. This paper proposes a framework that helps in making suitable decisions concerning blockchain model adoption. In addition, the authors classified the major categories of blockchain metrics. Furthermore, the authors evaluated the proposed framework with two well-known educational blockchain-based models.
