Abstract
The systems engineering concept of digitalization of higher education institutions (HEI) was proposed. The concept integrates the systemic, process-based, and project-based approach to displaying the objects and processes of the HEI activity in a unified digital space. This will make it possible to use it for automated solutions of functional problems in the educational, scientific, economic, and management processes of the HEI. Within the framework of the concept, the approaches to implementation were proposed: processes of the HEI digital transformation; functions and structures of the HEI digitalization project management; tools of a digital university. The concept is based on a unified digital space, which includes: digital and functional environment, tools for its formation, tools for using the digital environment. It was shown that the success of the transformation of the HEI into a digital university directly depends on the effectiveness of the organization of processes of digitalization project management. And this requires the use of the problem-oriented methodology of project management; the creation of a special division of the HEI digitalization; the development of the structure and technology of filling and using the digital space of an institution of higher education.The result of the application of the HEI digitalization concept is the creation of the specified methodology for project management, which is focused on the digital transformation of an institution of higher education. New organizational principles of digitalization of higher education institutions were proposed, based on the project-oriented organizational structure – a digital transformation office. The structure and the functions of such an office were determined.The processes of higher education institutions from the positions of readiness for the implementation of the systems engineering concept of digitalization were explored. Examples of the HEI digitalization using the proposed concept were given
Highlights
The world is developing faster and faster
That is why it is necessary to carry out the digital transformation of the HEI in order to create a digital space, which will become the foundation for solving functional problems in the educational, scientific, economic, management, and other spheres of higher education institutions
It was shown that solving these problems will make it possible to create digital universities as a single system of organizational, functional, and information components
Summary
The world trends of the development of society, education, science, and economics are aimed at the transition to digital transformation This means that all processes of social, educational, scientific, entrepreneurial, and other activities completely transfer into the digital environment. The HEI digitalization is considered as the process-based approach as an operational activity of a university, which does not allow complete involvement of the project management tools to increase the level of goal setting and goal attaining in the course of the creation of digital universities. That is why there is a relevant scientific task, which is to develop such a concept of digitalization of higher education institutions, which would integrate the systemic, process-based, and project-based approaches to create the methods, models, and practical tools for the development of digital universities
