- Abstract: On-campus activities like positions of responsibility in campus amenities and
participation in research, benefit the students as well as the university,
while also making students financially self-sufficient to a certain extent.
However, this student participation is stymied by lack of awareness and
motivation. Significant impetus to innovation and student participation can be
provided by incentivization of these activities. In this paper, we propose a
system to create a blockchain-based economy, to incentivize students with
empirical benefits or monetary awards calculated using objective algorithms.
The incentivization algorithms have been designed for three promising use
cases: research work, positions of responsibility in universities, and
crowdfunding. The demonstrated implementation of this system utilises VJTI
Chain, an already established Proof of Authority blockchain in VJTI Mumbai,
India. This creates a circular economy within the university which encourages
students to earn more rewards by reinforcing positive feedback.

The goal of FedSA is to train a student model for a new task with the help of several decentralized teachers.
Our motivation for investigating such a problem setup stems from a recent dilemma of model sharing.
The proposed FedSA offers a solution to this dilemma and makes it one step further since, again, the learned student may specialize in a new task different from all of the teachers.

During the COVID-19 crisis, educational institutions worldwide shifted from face-to-face instruction to emergency remote teaching (ERT) modalities.
We analyzed data on 7,528 undergraduate students and found that cooperative and consensus dynamics among students in discussion forums positively affect their final GPA.
Using natural language processing, we show that first-year students with low academic performance during high school are exposed to more content-intensive posts in discussion forums.

Federated Learning (FL) is a distributed learning framework that can deal with the distributed issue in machine learning.

We formulate the incentive mechanism between the BS and mobile users as an auction game where the BS is an auctioneer and the mobile users are the sellers.
