Abstract
At present, researchers and practitioners are increasingly interested in blockchain technology. This is due to its unique characteristics, including safety, regionalisation, dependability, and data security. Even with the increased attention and engagement, few individuals are aware of the present state of knowledge and usage of Blockchain (BC) technology, more so in the context of higher education in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabis. This paper offers a comprehensive evaluation of prior research pertaining to blockchain-based educational applications. It focuses on three primary themes: (1) educational applications and its use created by using blockchain technology, (2) the advantages of blockchain technology in higher education and (3) the adoption area in higher education challenges and problems of blockchain technology. Detailed analysis of the results for each topic and an in-depth discussion was carried out based on the survey results. This study also sheds light on other crucial areas of education where blockchain technology might help.
