The Use of Digital Technologies in Education: Academic University Experience

Abstract

This article uses the experience of the State Academic University of Humanities (GAUGN University) to consider the possibility of implementing technological solutions into the educational process. These technological solutions may allow not only improve the quality and efficiency of teaching in individual disciplines but also contribute to the creation of a collaborative environment for the professional community for scientists and educators. One of the technological solutions this article points out is the creation of a scientific journals network on the editorial and publishing platform JES (“Journal of Education and Science”). The functionality and the modular structure of the JES platform can be actively used in the educational process for testing and development of educational and methodological literature within electronic library systems, such as SOCHUM. The platform can as well become a repository for a variety of online courses and other digital products. Based on the examples outlined in the article, it is claimed that digitalization requires advanced information and communication technologies to become an integral part of the education system, allowing the creation of new educational modes and techniques to enhance student learning. The article also notes that the digital transition inevitably affects the change in the scientific research methods and practices, especially in the humanities, and therefore, the choice, implementation and application of digital technologies and digital content in education become particularly important.
