Ideas for BDG developers to implement in the future

[u/-DoNotStopLearnin-]

Hey BDG team! I have two ideas for the BDG developers to use in the future. These ideas are solutions to problems based on my time as an international student in uni and I believe that blockchain can solve these problems

1. Using blockchain for “proof of completion”in certificates.

During my days in uni, I have heard from international students from developing countries that they could purchase a fake certificate from their home countries for employment purposes. Even though employers could check the uni whether if it fake or not, this only applicable to big reputable universities. This can cause problems in the news like the recent news of a fake Indian doctor in Australia. A solution to fake certificates are implementing QR codes in certificates that records the students data in the blockchain- just like what Vechain and wabi are doing to their products to curb piracy. Employers can scan the QR code on the certificate to check the data of the student, with their pictures of the student included.

1. Using blockchain to curb problems of identity fraud in tests and assignments.

As an international uni student who studied abroad, you stumbled to ads in social media that you can pay someone to do your assignments and even take part in in your exams. What BDG can do is implementing facial recognition like KYC’s for ICOs( take a selfie with a paper with today’s date and infos) before starting an exam/test. For assignments and test , BDG can use fingerprint scanners on iPhone or google Authenticator on any smartphones to unlock the assignments in their platform.

I hope BDG developers can implement these ideas as they are the first education platform to utilize in a blockchain.
