Summary
The development of educational field is considered the most important part of international competitiveness improvement project. In our opinion, seeing education system as an ecosystem might be the methodological approach needed. Digital educational environment includes digital technology and digital products, which has the potential ability to dramatically influence the sustainability of educational ecosystem by changing and transforming it, influencing the interaction of all participants in the educational process. The analysis of how exactly the digital technology implementation influences the original educational ecosystem must be made. Online technology is being actively developed in Russian educational system currently and this process is highly supported by the Russian government, which has its disadvantages (Gerova, 2014; Vinnik, 2012; Kirilova, 2011; Mikhaleva, 2019; Puchkova et al, 2019; Sorokoumova, 2019; Bayanova et al, 2020)
