Abstract:

In recent years, the surge in the acceptance and integration of blockchain technology has been notable. This growing demand has spurred rapid advancements and widespread implementation across diverse sectors, with particular relevance to the educational gaming realm. Despite the significant implications of blockchain in the context of digital learning games, scholarly investigations on the subject remain scarce. This review aims to demystify the landscape of blockchain technology for educators and provide them with a nuanced understanding of its diverse opportunities in the realm of educational gaming. We seek to unravel the untapped potential that this innovative technology holds for enhancing educational experiences. Through a systematic exploration of relevant literature and practical examples, this study aspires to bridge the knowledge gap, empowering educators with insights that can inform pedagogical practices. The paper underscores the significance for further research and collaboration in order to explore the wide range of potential applications that blockchain technology might provide in developing the future of educational gaming.
