This article covers a report (102 page PDF) from the American Council on Education (ACE) on the Education Blockchain Initiative, funded by the U.S. Department of Education. This initiative includes Blockchain Innovation Challenge and the report covers the development of that project. Four projects involving teachers and educational resources are featured. Overall, the use cases focus on learning and employment records (LER), verifiable credentials (VC), and decentralized identifiers (DID). The value of the report is the detailed description it offers of each of the projects, from use cases to the development of a minimum viable product (MVP) and subsequent development.
