Here is abbreviated content which can be on the main page under Product. Transfer credit articulation is among the most inefficient, opaque, and frustrating process in all of higher education. UnBlockEd takes an innovative approach using Blockchain technology and curricular analytics. Our goal is to make an end-to-end system for transfer credit recognition in higher education, creating an open transfer exchange that will dramatically improve the efficiency of the transfer process and empower students through control of their learning records.

Here is longer content which can be on the landing page under Product.

The three major software technology components in this pipeline include: 1. **Curricular Analytics web services**, which have already been developed as a prototype led by the University of Arizona and Georgia Tech. 2. A **Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT)**, aka Blockchain, which will be used to store student transcripts and transfer articulation “transactions.” The DLT will be provided by Fluree PBC, and will use W3C standard DID technology. 3. **Data stores related to transcripts and course articulations** which will initially leverage existing degree plans from the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS). These technologies will be deployed as a part of an overarching web application (a set of interacting web services) and will exhibited through a publicly accessible URL. An initial demonstration of this web application can be seen here
