Integrating Generative AI into Blockchain and Marketing Education at HBCUs: A Proposed Framework
摘要
This paper proposes a conceptual framework for incorporating Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) and blockchain technologies into marketing education at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Drawing on a qualitative meta-synthesis of literature published between 2019 and 2025, the study examines trends in AI-driven marketing tools, blockchain applications, curriculum design, and technology integration in HBCUs. The resulting framework addresses institutional challenges, such as limited resources and digital equity, while promoting culturally responsive and scalable educational models. It incorporates GenAI tools for automated feedback, simulations, and analytics, alongside blockchain modules focused on consumer data transparency, digital rights management, and loyalty programs. Together, these components prepare students for future industry demands and strengthen technological fluency. Emphasizing equity, accessibility, and alignment with institutional missions, the framework positions HBCUs as leaders in inclusive and future-oriented marketing education. The paper concludes with recommendations for pilot implementation and empirical validation to assess the framework’s potential to transform business and marketing education in underrepresented academic settings.
