DIGITALIZATION OF THE EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT: OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS

Abstract

In the nearest future the educational environment is expected by the serious changes connected with digitalization. The system of  electronic education creates new opportunities and new problems. It  is possible to carry the solution of problems of availability of  education, expansion of opportunities of the choice for the student,  increase in a variety of forms and instruments of transfer of  knowledge to the main opportunities. Problems of system of electronic education can be divided into two classes: current  (transitional) and immanent. Now electronic education faces such  problems as aspiration to imitation of internal education, weak  quality control of educational products, low interactivity, a  primitivization of competences. The most essential, immanent  shortcomings of system of electronic education are problems of  socialization and transfer of implicit knowledge. Digitalization will  inevitably lead to transformation of education market. Leading universities (generation of new knowledge, development of essentially new educational products, preparation of scientific shots) will become the main players; manufacturing companies of electronic educational products and global educational platforms (broadcast of finished educational products to the consumer).
