Abstract

Purpose: To study the experience of digitalization of educational activities of higher educational institutions, develop recommendations on the choice and implementation of digital transformation strategies in universities.

Design/Methodology/Approach: Digital changes taking place in the educational services market radically change approaches to the implementation of the educational process, thereby causing the need to review strategic tasks and establish priority areas for digital development. The choice of digital transformation strategies should be based, inter alia, on determining the current level of digitalization and analyzing key factors in the internal environment of universities. An assessment of the level of digitalization can be carried out using a system of indicators that allow you to determine possible areas of strategic development and the necessary tactical measures for their implementation.

Results: The authors reviewed the experience and formalized the main directions of strategic development of universities in the field of digitalization of educational activities. It was shown that the key factors of the internal environment, which determine the possible choice of strategies for the digital development of educational activities of universities, can be: the achieved technical and technological level of digitalization of the educational environment and the level of competence of higher-education teaching personnel in the field of digital technologies and the use of remote educational technologies. It was revealed that these factors are interconnected and determine the possibility of implementing the chosen strategy of digitalization of educational activities at a certain level of their development. There are offered groups of indicators allowing to assess the achieved level of digitalization. The necessary conditions and tactical measures to implement the selected strategies of digital transformations are defined.

Originality/Value: The results of the research and the recommendations proposed on their basis can be used in the practice of developing and implementing strategies for digitalizing the educational process in higher educational institutions.
