Online blended learning in the digital environment

Abstract

The article presents the results of a study of the processes of educational activity in the context of the digital revolution. The authors focus on the scale of the spread of digital technologies, the provision of users with electronic means of communication, and the availability of the Internet network for argumentation of the established global information society. It was noted that in the context of the digital revolution, the face of manufacturing industries is changing. Market engagement platforms facilitate the diffusion of innovation and transformation of business models. In the context of the analyzed processes, the requirements for personnel are changing. The demand for professionals trained to work in a digital environment is expected to grow. It is hypothesized that personnel capable of research work, management of the processing of large data arrays and relevant information on the controlled or investigated object will have a high value. It is suggested that within the framework of courses on in-depth study of the use of tools of modern information systems, students should acquire the practice of independent work in the functional areas of information systems of business organizations. These can be separate information subsystems serving individual functions, processes, departments, for example, information systems and technologies of procurement, production, sales, processes for developing and implementing business development goals and strategies. The development and implementation of online blended learning courses aimed at organizing the learning environment can speed up the processes of training personnel to work in a digital environment. The authors express the point of view-network blended learning will be relevant for the training of developers and users of information systems, the development of engineering and technical and humanitarian competencies.

Concepts of Experiential Learning in Digital Collaboration

“…The world of learners and teachers has become more flexible and interconnected and, at the same time, more isolated as a result of digital learning environments. Learners engaged in the higher education sector work in various digital contexts, such as eLearning, interactive digital collaboration, digital research, and many more [4]. Against this backdrop, collaborative learning in project-based settings can play a crucial role, when it comes to experiencebased learning in digital contexts, as learners actively co-constitute physical and digital spaces, entangling digital online and offline learning in various ways [5].…”
