A Theoretical Framework of Secure Environment Of Virtual Reality Application in Tertiary TVET Education using Blockchain Technology

Abstract

The Pandemic of Covid-19 has changed the landscape of many sectors including the education sector. Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET) which is one of the critical drivers in the Eleventh Malaysian Plan is one of the affected educations sectors. Issues arise when the learning process as well as the assessment and management need to be online. Online security has been a main concern among the universities, lecturers, and the students. This paper aims to propose a secure theoretical framework of virtual reality application in tertiary TVET education by using Blockchain technology. Usage of VR can be seen as psychomotor acquisition devices that can offers efficient online distance learning experience. Measuring learning outcome will be done from the virtual reality simulator by using HMDs. By having online distance learning and everything will be put into the cloud and can be accessed by anyone. Blockchain technology can be seen as potential technology to increase security of the data that will be available in the cloud. Thus, the university’s management of TVET education, students and lecturers will have a better learning experience without worrying about the security of online learning through virtual reality.
