Development of digital transformation technologies for university practical learning in industrial area

Abstract

We describe the development results of digital transformation technologies for university practical learning within environmental economy. While research, we used: Foresight technologies, theory of decision making under uncertainties, risk management approach, methods of data bases constructing in case of digital educational platforms, web-technologies and virtual reality tools. Analysis shows that the ways of university practical learning have distinct features of digital transformation, due to new concepts of obtaining and presenting educational materials. Preference is given to the use of digital educational platforms, which integrate heterogeneous hardware and software resources with the use of web-technologies in distributed networks and wide application of cloud services. Now, Moodle and Sakai are most popular digital educational platforms but we propose to use most recent Google Classroom. We consider the issues of digital content creation within university practical learning. We present the enlarged groups of practical works in this area. We propose to divide practical training into two stages. The first, preparatory stage, in which students learn with virtual reality tools. The second, applied stage of practical training takes place in the field. While research, we used platform https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Valery_Abramov2/ for data exchange and preliminary discussion.
