The data obtained indicate the expediency of using the JIRA project and task management system as a means of implementing independent research -level learning activities when organizing a group project. The content of the research level of the system for improving independent learning activities is disclosed with consideration of preparatory measures and the first form of practical application, mastered and updated, which is a "group project ". The psycholinguistic content of independent learning activities of students at the level of higher education is analysed. The results of a methodical analysis of the JIRA project and task management system, which allows you to coordinate the interaction of users, students, project managers, and teachers are presented.

The world is changing rapidly. New realities become the subject of conceptualization, established theoretical concepts give way to new emerging constructs. In particular, the authors have previously refined the concepts of "transit university" and "transitive university". In the context of global, national and regional challenges for the transition of a regional transit university to the status of a transitive university, the position of the university leadership on creating an innovative university ecosystem as a driver for the development of the region becomes fundamentally significant. Accordingly, the purpose of the study was to clarify the resources and direction of changes in the internal university management of a regional university, necessary to ensure its transitivity. Universal transformations of managerial strategies for transition to the status of a transitive university are considered through the prism of modern global, national and regional challenges. The article analyzes the need for diversification of educational national and regional systems against the background of universalization of requirements for higher education institutions of international rating agencies. In particular, attention is drawn to the fact that in the transition to the status of a transitive university, the diversification strategy also receives an internal component, represented by the need to find a balance between traditional academic values and the values of market competition; between global and local awareness of opportunities for attracting students and teachers; between preferences in providing hard- and soft skills. It also substantiates the importance of developing strategies for the constancy of transformation and the formation of a strong managerial core. The persistence of the interface between adaptive and proactive changes in the internal and foreign policies of the university administration is seen as an everyday strategic task that does not have unambiguous tactical decisions and is complicated by the existing gaps in the competencies of the heads of Russian and foreign universities. We consider the resources of transformational changes associated with the need for comprehensive digitalization of the university, with the development of a digital format of work in administration, the organization of educational and research processes as a new reality of university management, with the transition to working with big data; and also – formats for collegial interaction in creating innovative university ecosystems.

The presented article discusses the issues of involvement of university leaders in academic activities. The relevance of this problem lies in the fact that at the present day an active transformation of the roles performed by the head of the university is taking place. On the one hand, the traditional rector’s role format, expressed in the formula «first among equals», is in a state of constant and radical changes today. A particularly significant role in this process is played by the managerialization of university management and the resulting approaches to attract managers from other fields of activity to the rectors’ posts. They can be from government, business or public organizations. On the other hand, those university rectors, who came to the management system from academic environment, nowadays, as a rule, remain in the professional cohort of managers and rarely return to academic activities. In this regard, research issues arise: how do university leaders identify themselves and which community values are a priority to them? The authors of the article analyze the results of scientific activities of the heads of the country’s leading universities over the past 5 years. Based on the obtained data, a typology of preserving academic identity of university leaders at the present stage has been developed. Hypotheses for further transformation of the managerial and academic roles of Russian universities’ rectors have been formulated.The article may be of interest to universities’ leading employees.
