Background. Nonconformity of training of qualified engineers for high-tech companies with the requirements of high-tech manufacturing industries in Ukraine. Objective. The purpose of the paper is to develop a three-stage system of dual education for Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute and companies “Boeing Ukraine” and “Progresstech-Ukraine” that will be focused on efficient trainings of future technicians to solve applied engineering and technological tasks for the above-mentioned companies. Methods. Analysis of successful cooperation of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, “Boeing Ukraine” and “Progresstech-Ukraine” aircraft corporations in the sphere of implementation of higher education concepts using dual form of education. Results. It is shown that the implementation of the dual education for graduate students, where theoretical studies are augmented by solution of applied engineering problems will boost the number of high-skilled engineers available for hire by hi-tech companies. The advantages of dual education for both sides of recruiting process are discussed. It is noted that the implementation of dual education in universities has a complex multi-level structure, where the role of the instructor and the teacher should be treated as one of the most important one. A recent success in the cooperation between the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, the “Boeing Ukraine” and “Progresstech-Ukraine” shows the advances and the achievements in higher education driven by the dual education strategy. Conclusions. System analysis of engineering and technological problems of aviation companies of Ukraine showed that the qualification of the graduates does not meet the requirements of high-tech companies. Therefore, the main goal of a multi-layer dual education, that was jointly developed by Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, “Boeing Ukraine” and “Progresstech-Ukraine”, is to train qualified specialists for the solution of everyday practical and technological tasks that are common for “Boeing Ukraine” and “Progresstech-Ukraine”. Cooperation of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, “Boeing Ukraine” and “Progresstech-Ukraine” was launched in 2012. Since that time, more than 130 Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute graduates have become engineers of these corporations. Joint dual education master’s degree “Dynamics and Strength of Machines” was certified by European Network for Accreditation of Engineering Education (ENAEE). The broadening of the three-level system of dual education offered by Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, “Boeing Ukraine” and “Progresstech-Ukraine” to the multi-disciplinary level has a good potential and will be beneficial not only for the educational institutions but also for the high-tech companies.

The purpose of the article is to study the degree of usability of sites from the point of view of their stakeholders. The usability indicator is responsible for how easy the site's interface is to use, that is, it means how easily the user without special training can interact with the information system of the website. The goal of usability is to have a product that is easy to understand, easy to learn, effective to use, and en-joyable to use. Methodology. The article proposes an approach for assessing the usability of sites of business entities, based on the results of an empirical study in the format of questionnaire, which allows us to take into account the subjective attitude of respondents to the usability of a particular site. When calculating the integral usa-bility indicator, the assessments of the weight of each variant of the answer to the question, the weight of the question within the boundaries of each of the criteria, the weight of each criterion in the final indicator are taken into account. The approbation was carried out on the websites of higher education institutions. Highlighted the most important criteria for the usability of the website of a higher education institution from the point of view of applicants and students as stakeholders who are potential buyers and consumers of educational services: loading speed, convenience, efficiency, relevance, accessibility, interactivity, cross-browser compatibility, lack of forced content, attractive design, satisfaction. To obtain the results, a survey of 1170 stakeholders was conducted in the form of a questionnaire regarding the compliance of the websites of higher education institutions with the usability criteria. Based on the results of scoring and taxonomic analysis, quantitative values of the integral indicator of the usability of the websites of higher education institutions were obtained: NTUU “Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute”– 8,01; Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv – 6,47; Sumy State University – 7,87; Lviv Polytechnic National University – 7,85; V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University – 5,32; Interregional Academy of Personnel Management – 7,7; Kharkiv University – 6,97; Academy of Advocacy of Ukraine – 5,62. The obtained quantitative values indicate that, according to Harrington's scale of desirability, the NTUU “Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute” site has the highest level of usability, the Sumy State University, Lviv Polytechnic National University, Interregional Academy of Personnel Management, Kharkiv University and Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv sites have a sufficient level, the Academy of Advocacy of Ukraine and V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University sites are at the middle level. Practical implications. The proposed approach can be applied to the site of any business entity, it makes it possible to quantify the level of usability of the site from the point of view of stakeholders and become the basis for making effective management decisions regarding the compliance of the website with the requirements and needs of users. Value/originality. The proposed methodology for assessing the site of higher education institutions makes it possible to assess the degree of convenience of sites, which is a tool for ensuring the quality of online presentation of educational services in the context of limited information transparency of higher education institutions.

The purpose of the article is to outline the main provisions of the methodology for managing cognitive factors of production. It is shown that the processes of industrial re-industrialization, known as Industry 4.0, have led to the emergence of a new type of production resources –  cognitive factors of production. The essence of the concept of “cognitive factors of production” is determined, a structural diagram of the methodology of managing cognitive factors of production is presented. Based on the methods of system analysis, an organizational and economic management model is developed and a mechanism for integration into the general control loop of an industrial enterprise is proposed. In conclusion, conclusions are drawn about the possibility of applying the methodology of managing cognitive factors of production in a knowledge-based economy.

The dynamics of several demographic indicators of Russia - child and teenage cohorts in 1970-2000, life expectancy in 1995-2000, migration flows among federal districts in the period between two censuses of 1989 and 2002 - are considered in the article. The author puts forward the hypothesis about the influence of these indicators on the level of education in narrow and broad senses - in educational institutions and the society as a whole. He estimates the perspectives of regional higher educational institutions under conditions of absence of plan distribution of graduates and the double cyclical fall in the number of high school graduates. The agenda for the development of a two-stage system of higher education corresponding with international integration processes is formulated.

This chapter investigates how platformization is affecting the idea of education as a common good on both sides of the Atlantic. The growth of online educational platforms has been explosive, in both primary and higher education. Most of these educational platforms are corporately owned, propelled by algorithmic architectures and business models. They have quickly gained millions of users and are altering learning processes and teaching practices; they boost the distribution of online course material, hence impacting curriculums; they influence the administration of schools and universities; and, as some argue, they change the governance of (public) education as a whole. The chapter explores how, powered by the Big Five, these educational platforms are pushing a new concept of learning that questions values that are fundamental to publicly funded education: Bildung, a knowledge-based curriculum, autonomy for teachers, collective affordability, and education as a vehicle for socioeconomic equality.
