Digital Learning Technologies Development for University Education in Environmental Economics

Abstract:

. In paper, we consider the development results of digital learning technologies for university education within environmental economics. While studies, we used methods of data bases constructing in case of digital educational platforms, web-technologies and virtual reality tools. Analysis shows that the ways of university education have distinct features of digital transformation, due to new concepts of obtaining and presenting educational materials. Preference is given to the use of digital educational platforms, which integrate heterogeneous hardware and software resources with the use of web-technologies in distributed networks and wide application of cloud services. Now, Moodle and Sakai are most popular digital educational platforms but we propose to use most recent Google Classroom. We consider the issues of digital content creation within university education, essentially in practical training. We present the enlarged groups of practical works in this area. We propose to divide practical training into two stages. The first, preparatory stage, in which students learn with virtual reality tools. The second, applied stage of practical training takes place in the field. For data exchange and preliminary discussion, we used platform.
