Abstract

To check students’ daily language learning tasks and give students corresponding reasonable scores based on their daily behavior is hard for teachers. The existing online language learning systems are vulnerable and easy to be modified by teachers or system managers. Blockchain can provide immutable and trusted storage service and automatic calculation service. Therefore, a blockchain-based online language learning system is proposed in this paper to monitor students’ daily study and automatically evaluate their behavior so as to save teachers from tedious and complex homework verification workload and provide trusted and reliable evaluation on students’ behavior. This paper first introduces the current situation of language learning in universities and the related works on blockchain-based online language learning system. Then the system is detailed in its structure and smart contracts. At last, we implement this system and do the analysis and summary.
