THE ROLE OF ONLINE LEARNING PLATFORMS IN EDUCATION

Abstract

Digitization of education is a significant trend for reform and modernization in the global education environment. Digitization refers to the conversion of various information sources, such as texts, sounds, images, and videos, into digital language. Several analysts, including Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, consider the emergence and growth of online education as a pivotal moment in the history of education. The European Union has adopted a digitalization approach to education. The EU 2020 education development plan focuses on digital technology, which was adopted in 2014. The primary goal of this document was to make effective progress in the field of information technology by integrating modern technologies and using technology alongside education. After conducting a comparative analysis of the existing conceptual apparatus, we have identified several fundamental concepts related to this problem area. Text, graphics, and multimedia information placed on Internet sites (servers) are commonly understood as Internet resources. This information is delivered to the user's computer in the form of a set of files or documents (including an archive) in various formats, such as HTML, DOC, PDF, and TXT. Internet resources also encompass executable programs placed on servers (distribution), which can be transferred to the user's computer for further use upon request. This article discusses how the concept of Internet portals is being used to address this problem, which is relevant across all areas of human activity influenced by the Internet. By creating a unified platform that aggregates and organizes educational resources, Internet portals can significantly enhance the accessibility and effectiveness of education. Keywords: Internet resources, effectiveness of education, digitization.
