During the last years, blockchain has been getting interest by both academic and professional researchers. This is primarily due to the innovative techniques in which records are effectively stored in a distributed manner. Started as a value transfer mechanism, blockchain now has several applications in a vast array of fields including healthcare, banking, and Internet of Things (IoTs). Despite the considerable amount of interest given to these fields, little is known about the possible applications of blockchain in education. Because of COVID-19 outbreak and the rise in the need of online and automated solutions in academia, this paper proposes an overview of a blockchain solution in education. This technology relies on the unique features it offers, such as decentralization, data integrity, and security. The presented solution aims to reduce the paperwork needed to perform tasks, secure the stored data, increase transparency, as well as to offer new recruitment possibilities and statistics capabilities to the current educational system.

The aim of this article is to provide some insight on the implementation of a series of values in the educational system. The approach sought is holistic, considering that we weigh the effects of those values not only related to students and teachers, but also to families, government, and school administrators. This approach is new since many values and character education studies are centered on either students or teachers, or both. Also, this article tackles the concept of values and character education, adding the review of several related studies, providing valuable information about the benefits and advantages that this educational model offers based on the expectation that those values must be present in all factors of the learning process. Finally, this article delivers a reflection on those same elements with the goal to use it as a thought-provoking tool to consider more solutions to help students face academic challenges and those related to life.

Abstract The purpose of this article is to analyse and present some techniques that support the design of a value proposition in the context of the outcome-economy. The proposed techniques are intended to support traditional companies in the design of innovative solutions. Also, the discussed techniques were compared to identify the most effective. The study was conducted based on the information available in the literature on the impact of the Industrial Internet of Things on the economy and creation of a value proposition.
