A freedom of learning program has been released by the Indonesian Ministry and Culture this year 2020. There are three ways for students to earn their credits, namely take the subject course in face-to-face based class, virtual based class or under Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). MOOCs is a model that is developed to help people to learn about certain skills through the online platform, without any limitation in the audience. MOOCs aim to enhance broad collaboration between individuals in creating learning environments that have high scalability and can be accessed by anyone and anywhere. The complexity arises when students undertake a subject course through MOOCs, how to certify the completion of their program in which the certification can be gained easily, and the last how secure the obtained certificate? Blockchain technology can help to improve the quality of MOOCs by providing control of academic records as evidence that someone has completed a learning process on MOOCs. Academic records generated will be stored in one place forever and safely stored in the Blockchain environment. This article will explore how the possible to implement the Blockchain framework in MOOCs to support a freedom of learning in Indonesia.
