Abstract

The purpose of the study is to test the effectiveness of using the e-environment based on G Suit for Education in organizing distance learning for future social workers in the context of a pandemic. The study uses a set of methods: diagnostic (observation, interviews, questionnaires, testing) – to determine the effectiveness of using cloud resources and services in teaching students; pedagogical experiment for experimental verification of the effectiveness of using cloud resources and services in teaching students in the process of forming professional and communicative readiness of future social workers; methods of mathematical statistics for quantitative and qualitative processing of research results. Cloud resources and services allow activating knowledge, help to find and design new ideas, and help to develop independent decision-making skills. The conclusions of the work can be the basis for the development of an e-environment based on G Suit for Education. Materials and conclusions of the research can be used in the practice of teaching the humanities at university. The scientific novelty of the research is that the study identifies specific cloud services for implementing project activities when teaching students remotely. The stages of project implementation in the e-environment based on G Suit for Education are presented.

Summary

Introduction

A new economy based on the development of the creative industry, new information technologies, and business processes that ensure Russia’s leadership and competitiveness is replacing the raw material economy. According to researchers (Vouk: 2009; Greengard: 2010), the use of cloud technologies in any field of activity allows: 1) significantly reducing capital expenditures (cost reduction) for building data centers, purchasing server, and network equipment, hardware and software solutions, etc.; 2) providing the ability to extremely quickly change the configuration of the corporate IT infrastructure depending on current needs, consuming (and buying) exactly as many resources as is needed at the current moment, providing elasticity. Cloud environments are designed to meet specific technical and business needs: they allow combining an acceptable level of security and privacy with minimizing costs This flexibility of the cloud architecture, which is one of its main advantages, is the most common reason for criticism because this configuration causes an additional level of risk: critical services are provided by a thirdparty organization on the terms of IT outsourcing
