A study on blockchain-based educational resource sharing framework and acceptability

As the global demand for educational resource sharing grows, the centralization, uneven quality of resources, copyright disputes and lack of uniform standards of existing systems limit their effectiveness. This study constructs a blockchain-based educational resource sharing framework that exploits blockchain's decentralization, security, and tamper-proof features, aiming to enhance the transparency and trustworthiness of resource sharing. Based on the improved Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), this study systematically analyzes user acceptance of blockchain platforms by introducing variables such as trust, risk perception, social impact, and individual innovativeness. Structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis of 380 valid questionnaires showed that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and trust significantly and positively influenced user acceptance, while risk perception had a negative impact. Social influence and individual innovativeness also significantly increased user acceptance. The findings provide theoretical support for the application of blockchain technology in educational resource sharing and practical reference for system design.
