【Abstract】In recent years, the attention of online cross-university courses has been increasing, and students in universities want to increase their knowledge and professional skills by taking online courses from different universities, which raises the issue of course credit verification. In the past, the credits obtained by students in online courses lack endorsement from the education department, and the students' learning process could not be verified. Therefore, the credits of online courses in one university could not be recognized by other universities. The education departments of some countries and regions implement credit conversion rules to convert the credits obtained by students in online courses into university credits or certificates endorsed by the education department. However, these schemes rely too much on the authority of the education department, and the process of students obtaining credits cannot be verified. In addition, the centralized storage method makes the data of education departments at risk of leakage or tampering. With the emergence of blockchain technology, some researchers have proposed the use of blockchain to store students' credits, making it possible to reach consensus among multiple parties on the blockchain while ensuring that credits are not tampered with, but these schemes cannot test the learning process of students and the recognition of credits still relies on the authority of the education department. To solve the above problems, this paper proposes a cross-university course learning system with verifiable credits based on Hyperledger Fabric consortium blockchain technology, and the consortium includes many universities. The credits obtained by students in the course and the hash value of the learning records are stored on the blockchain, and the data on the blockchain is jointly maintained by the universities in the system. One university can verify the homework and final examination of students to check the real ability of students, thus recognizing the credits from other universities, and at the same time, to protect the privacy of students, the important data of students are encrypted for transmission.
