Problems of Mastering and Using Digital Learning Technology in the Context of a Pandemic

Abstract

The article attempts to identify the difficulties associated with the use of digital learning technology at a technical university in the context of a pandemic. The research is based on the use of such methods as content analysis of modern publications on the problem under study, their logical analysis, generalization and systematization of published information, as well as understanding the experience of using digital technology at the technical university. A survey of polytechnic students was conducted regarding the timely identification of problems related to the use of digital learning technology. The findings revealed that awareness of the thoughtful use of digital learning technology, as well as thoughtful regulations in the access of students to digital equipment can open up new opportunities for their application. The relevance of digitalization for the technical university is shown. Prospects for further research of problems related to the use of digital technology of education at a technical university are outlined in order to identify its further directions and features of their development in domestic and foreign educational institutions. The novelty of the study consists in substantiating the relevance of analyzing the experience of using digital learning technology at the technical university, identifying problematic aspects of its use. The limitation of the study is that all the responses are from just one educational institution and, in future studies, it is necessary to take into account the experience of using digital learning technologies on a more global scale.

Self-Regulation in E-Learning Environment

“…First of all, the problem of technological support for fully online education has grown [1]. Students and teachers need fast and stable networks, online communication tools, and digital educational resources [2][3][4]. After solving the problems of creating, communicating, and providing technical support for e-courses, it became necessary to take into account the level of technical competence, the psychological aspects of online learning [5][6][7], and the peculiarities of learning in an electronic environment to the extent that fully e-education can completely replace conventional one [8].…”
