Abstract

Incentive mechanism plays an important role in online education. In order to better play the role of the incentive mechanism, it must rely on contemporary information technology, such as blockchain technology, big data technology and so on. In this paper an incentive mechanism based on blockchain technology is proposed with which can establish a good trust relationship between multiple learning resource nodes and improve data security during the process of online education. A structure of online learning resource chain is proposed in this paper also. And a dynamic optimization framework of learning resource chain by analyzing a series of problems faced in the process of online education is formed. The private chain of learning resource is constructed on the basis of the design of incentive smart contract. The learners and the builders of learning resources can obtain the dynamic rewards by performing a smart method of contract. The experimental results show that the incentive method based on blockchain can well mobilize participants’ enthusiasm for resource construction and dynamic improvement of resource quality, and effectively solve a series of problems in the learning process.
