摘要：Digitizing has become a necessity for universities to develop and improve their services to facilitate access for beneficiaries. Utilizing new technologies helps universities be more effective, efficient, flexible, and comfortable. Smart university, a concept that represents higher education in the digital age, has increased these considerations greatly, and blockchain is one of the fastest emerging technologies in this era. This paper discusses the definitions of blockchain and smart university and it also presents a conceptual framework to illustrate how smart universities can use blockchain technology to support and ensure a better understanding of the involvement their students with the university. Furthermore, it presents two case studies using the formative assessment to show the impact on the quality of education and the assessment of academic supervision on scientific theses. A seven-tier framework of formative assessment in smart universities will be used to improve the quality of education.
