Enhancing Effectiveness of Teaching Evaluation using Blockchain and Regulated Token Economy

To improve the effectiveness of teaching evaluation is an important objective at all teaching institutions. As a direct teaching assessment method, the core task of the evaluation is to elicit genuine and conscientious ratings and comments from students. However, the existing non-trivial teaching evaluation practices cannot assure students’ true anonymities as well as fall short at motivating students to perform high quality evaluations. Therefore, efforts on improving the effectiveness of teaching evaluation hit a bottleneck. In this paper we give and discuss our insights on how to use the blockchain technology and a regulated token economy to address these two issues in order to remove the bottleneck. We also offer our visions on the implementation details of the approach based on our insights.
