ABSTRACT
The combination of blockchain and the Internet of Things (IoT) in logistics has enormous potential. They form the basis for a new model of technology -and experience-based education. The literature review indicates that their application in universities is still at a pioneering stage. The aim of the conducted research was to analyse and evaluate the potential for the application of them in the teaching process of logistics in the university. The starting point was to define the importance of technology in the logistics.As a result of the conducted research, it was established that the blockchain and IoT provide a lot of opportunities, the author proposed courses, tasks and methodology. These technologies enable effecient and currant didactics. However, their implementation poses numerous challanges, including investment, organisational and methodological challenges. The author used a critical analysis of the literature and a case study (ANS AS in Wałbrzych) as research methods.
