Abstract

The article analyzes international experience of the diverse set of aspects of education technologies and digitalized education study at the higher education establishments. Carnegie Mellon University offers “Master of Educational Technology and Applied Learning Science” program for graduated bachelors. “Design educational games” is one of the examples of the courses offered. Stanford graduate School of Education offers “Education, design and technologies” course. Stanford University offers “Creating effective online and blended courses”. University of Maryland provides set of courses, such as “Instructional Design: Digital Media, New Tools and Technology”. Pennsylvania University offers “Introduction to Online and Blended Teaching”. Massachusetts Institute of Technologies offers “Design and Development of Educational Technology”. The analysis of international experience led to the conclusion, that “Education technologies and learning in the digital age” course is reasonable to introduce into educational plan of the technical specialties’ students and future professionals of information technologies in particular. The reasons to introduce the course for the future professionals of information technologies are the possibility to design and implement course and diploma works in the educational area (educational software development, educational games development, etc.), work at the educational software development companies, conduct PhD research in the area of educational technologies. The course prepares students to the future life-long learning using educational technologies. “Education technologies and learning in the digital age” course is oriented to the 121 “Software engineering”, 122 “Computer science”, 123 “Computer engineering, ”125 “Cybersecurity”, 126 “Information systems and technologies” and is based on the learning the main terms and principles of the education technologies and digital age education approaches. The approximate list of topics to learn in the course is provided. The advantages of the introducing the course are discussed.
