The student credential solution recently rolled out by Space and Time (SxT) has its first major educational body onboard. Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) is Indonesia’s largest university and it’s been quick to integrate the onchain framework developed by SxT in collaboration with Indomobil for student course payment and qualification verification. Space and Time is known as the blockchain for data verification and for UGM’s 60,000 students it’s about to do just that. This isn’t about placing data on a blockchain for the sake of it: there are clear benefits to doing so in this instance, both from the perspective of students and from that of employers and educators wishing to check their credentials. Pay It, Prove It SxT’s onchain student credential framework achieves two things. Firstly, it allows students to pay for courses online, using the SXT token, accelerating payment processing and allowing them to start learning immediately. This is particularly valuable in Indonesia, where legacy systems sometimes entail student families having to pay in cash and then wait for it to be passed from schools to universities before their child can commence their studies. The second benefit is that all courses completed by students can be permanently stored onchain, making them inspectable by authorized third parties such as employers and universities. Now, with Universitas Gadjah Mada enrolled in the program, these capabilities are poised to see serious adoption for up to 60,000 students. It’s not the only utilization of Space and Time’s technology being trialled by UGM either – the university has also announced that it’s integrating another SxT product, Dreamspace, for AI application development. UGM Goes All In on AI Like many tech-focused universities, UGM offers its students courses in artificial intelligence. These have now been enhanced by its decision to host an AI lab on its campus…
