Digitalisation of Educational Process in the Context of Information Society Realities

The purpose of the research is to explore the problems and outline the prospects for the digital transformation of education in the context of the realities of the information society, which is guided by the principles and values of the post-industrial era. Research methods. The main methods of the research were analysis and synthesis, generalisation, systematisation, and a dialectical approach, which helped to determine the ratio of the effectiveness of traditional and distance education, analyse the main means and advantages of distance learning and distance education, and identify the features of the digital culture of modern society in the context of its impact on the modernisation of education. Research scientific novelty. The examination of the issue of educational technologisation, in particular its impact on the learning environment, has shown that the active spread of digital technologies will transform the organisation of the educational process into cooperation and productive learning activities of higher education students and teachers. Conclusions. Today, we are at the initial stage of introducing innovative technologies into the educational process, which can improve the overall level of education and literacy of the population and society as a whole. However, despite the fact that the digitalisation of the educational process has become significant at the current stage of development, it needs to be refined, changed, and involve new and additional elements and functions, and attention should be paid to revising the regulatory framework of modern legislation. It is determined that the digitalisation of the educational process involves the transformation and integration of educational technologies into all stages of the educational process: training, education, methodological integration, and career guidance. It is emphasised that the form of organising distance learning contributes to the development of independent work skills, and the range of innovative and attractive learning strategies for higher education students is growing.
