Sponsor's own description
This study evaluates whether a blockchain-enabled electronic portfolio can improve competency tracking and lifelong learning in undergraduate nursing education. Conventional electronic portfolios are often fragmented across courses and clinical rotations, difficult to verify across institutions, and limited in supporting learner ownership of records. To address these challenges, this study compares a blockchain-enabled e-portfolio system with a conventional Moodle-based e-portfolio during a medical-surgical clinical rotation. Third-year undergraduate nursing students at Jouf University, Saudi Arabia, were randomly assigned to use either the blockchain-enabled e-portfolio intervention or the conventional e-portfolio control. The intervention was designed to support cryptographically verifiable competency records, structured reflective evidence, and personalized competency feedback through dashboard analytics. The main outcomes include clinical competence assessed by an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE), lifelong learning orientation, portfolio quality, and trust in the credibility and portability of competency records. After the quantitative phase, focus group interviews were conducted with students in the intervention group to explore their experiences with the system and the mechanisms through which it may influence learning. The study aims to determine whether blockchain-enabled e-portfolios offer educational advantages over conventional portfolio systems in competency-based nursing education and to identify implementation factors that may support or hinder adoption.
