Student Activity Credit Framework (PSUCOIN)
Naratorn Boonpeam, Warodom Werapun, Tanakorn Karode · 2020
Prince of Songkla University, Phuket Campus (PSU Phuket) has activities every semester. Students have to collect activity hours (as credits) for completing the condition of graduation. Sometimes, students who regularly participate in activities will receive enough activity credits. This prevents them from participating in the further activities. Gain more activity credits are not tempting anymore. For this reason, if there is a utility token that can represent as an activity credit, then students can use it for other purposes. It causes joining activity more attractive. The traditional activity credit system uses a simple spreadsheet file, which has several issues such as offline, errors and transparency because all information is stored at a PSU staff only. Thus, it leads us to propose a utility token, called PSUCOIN, changing from a centralized system to a blockchain-based system. Students receive PSUCOIN coins when they attend an activity organized by PSU campus. They will be more involved in activities since PSUCOIN coins can be exchanged for items or other future purposes as well. It can be used to motivate students who are not participating in activities.
