In the time of digital technologies and transformation of teachers’ role, the problem of the lack of teachers’ media education support and their insufficient level of readiness to implement media technologies in educational process has become of vital importance. The analysis of American scientists’ ideas has resulted in the conclusion about irreversible consequences of an insufficient level of teachers’ media education that may lead to the loss of democracy in society. In the article, the author stresses the idea about the interconnection between the teachers’ level of training to incorporate media education in the process of learning and its efficiency. It is underlined that this understanding shown by state educational establishments, administrative staff, scientists and teachers is not widely accepted, which is proved by the quantity of media courses, character of training in universities and the time of such training appearance in the curriculum of pedagogical educational establishments. Until recently, in spite of inclusion of media education knowledge in curricular, teachers have been left without proper training in such an activity in the system of formal education. On the example of a number of American and Canadian universities (Indiana University Bloomington, University of Massachusetts, Manitoba University, Vancouver University), the author has distinguished the ways of future teacher media training in formal education (as special training in the area of communication, as a separate course, as components of every course, taught at university). The main peculiarity of the future teacher media training is the encouraging Centres for Online and Digital Learning and libraries which offer necessary support in conducting lessons with digital media tools, media services, consultations on doing media tasks and incorporating media in educational process in schools.

Advocates of digital education have increasingly recognized the need for young people to acquire digital media literacy. However, this idea is often seen in instrumental terms, and is rarely implemented in any coherent or comprehensive way. This paper suggests that we need to move beyond a binary view of digital media as offering risks and opportunities for young people, and the narrow ideas of digital skills and internet safety to which it gives rise. The article propose that we should take a broader and more critical approach to the rise of ‘digital capitalism’, and to the ubiquity of digital media in everyday life. In this sense, the paper argue that the well-established conceptual framework and pedagogical strategies of media education can and should be extended to meet the new challenges posed by digital and social media.This article presents some reflections as an epigraph of the special issue "Digital learning: distraction or default for the future", whose final result has allowed us to group a set of critical research and analysis on the inclusion of digital technologies in educational contexts. The points of view presented in this epigraph is also developed in more detail in the book "The Media Education Manifesto" (Buckingham, 2019).

The article highlights new views on the possibilities of teachers’ professional development in postgraduate education system, due to the transition from learning management systems (LMS) to the next generation digital learning environment (NGDLE) as an ecosystem of digital tools to support the activities of subjects of the educational process. For the first time, the authors have revealed the signs of environmental friendliness of the NGDLE, have characterized it as an open, stable, safe and comfortable system for subjects of the educational process, providing information exchange between them, as well as between them and the world around them. Such digital ecosystems are created as digital twins of the real postgraduate education institutions for the efficient lifelong learning and teachers’ professional development. The practical implementation of these new generation concepts has been presented on the example of the Ukrainian Open University of Postgraduate Education, designed to organize and support non-formal postgraduate education. It has become a complex of digital solutions aimed at the implementation of EdTech with a priority in the successful functioning of virtual chairs, conducting the educational process (formal/non-formal education), professional development of students and teachers, attracting people from different regions of the country to training and teaching, highlighting innovative educational practice, etc.

The era of audiovisual culture began more than a hundred years ago with the advent of cinema, and is associated with a special language that underlies non-verbal communication processes. Today, screen influence on humans is dominant, as the generation for which computer is an integral part of everyday life has grown. In recent years, non-verbal language around the world has been a major tool in the fight for influence over human consciousness and intelligence. Formation of basic concepts of media education, which later developed into an international pedagogical movement, in a number of western countries (Great Britain, France, Germany) began in the 60’s and 70’s of the XX century. In Canada, as in most highly developed countries (USA, UK, France, Australia), the history of media education began to emerge from cinematographic material. The concept of screen education was formed by the British Society for Education in Film (SEFT), initiated by a group of enthusiastic educators in 1950. In the second half of the twentieth century, due to the intensive development of television, the initial term “film teaching” was transformed into “screen education”. The high intensity of students’ contact with new audiovisual media has become a subject of pedagogical excitement. There was a problem adjusting your children’s audience and media. The most progressive Canadian educators, who have recognized the futility of trying to differentiate students from the growing impact of TV and cinema, have begun introducing a special course in Screen Arts. The use of teachers of the rich potential of new audiovisual media has greatly optimized the learning process itself, the use of films in the classroom has become increasingly motivated. At the end of 1968, an assistant position was created at the Ontario Department of Education, which coordinated work in the “onscreen education” field. It is worth noting that media education in Canada developed under the influence of English media pedagogy. The first developments in the study of “screen education” were proposed in 1968 by British Professor A. Hodgkinson. Canadian institutions are actively implementing media education programs, as the development of e-learning is linked to the hope of solving a number of socio-economic problems. In particular, raising the general education level of the population, expanding access to higher levels of education, meeting the needs for higher education, organizing regular training of specialists in various fields. After all, on the way of building an e-learning system, countries need to solve a set of complex technological problems to ensure the functioning of an extensive network of training centers, quality control of the educational process, training of teaching staff and other problems. Today, it is safe to say that Canada’s media education is on the rise and occupies a leading position in the world. Thus, at the beginning of the 21st century, Canada’s media education reached a level of mass development, based on serious theoretical and methodological developments. Moreover, Canada remains the world leader in higher education and spends at least $ 25 billion on its universities annually. Only the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia are the biggest competitors in this area.

Abstract Background Methotrexate (MTX) remains the standard treatment for inflammatory arthritis. For patients prescribed MTX they tell us that they find it difficult to source correct information. Patients require this at different time points in their disease and in different formats that encompass literacy and language challenges. Patients are usually given instruction about MTX at the time of their diagnosis when they are faced with absorbing a lot of information in a very short time frame, yet the majority of patients are required to take MTX for the duration of their disease. Methods Following on from the development of the MTX patient education guide in Ireland in 2017 we looked at developing the content into a different format. In partnership with a digital media company and the pharmaceutical industry the content was converted into a digital media card and website for use in the clinical setting. The content was designed as an additional support to patients prescribed MTX. The animation consists of both audio and images and provides the viewer with essential information and key messages required when taking MTX. The animation guides the patient through MTX, outlines how it works, how to take MTX, and highlights the important safety issues and monitoring required when taking MTX. Audio content was written by the author and designed in collaboration with a digital media company. The digital media card and website was launched nationally in September 2018 with the support of the Irish Rheumatology Nursing Forum and Arthritis Ireland. Rheumatology departments nationally were provided with copies of the digital media card and details of the website. Patients can use the digital media card and be signposted patients to www.methotrexate.ie. Results Since the launch of both the website and the digital media card there has been 1.5 K sessions, and 1.4K users on the website. The website has been accessed globally with over 781 users from Ireland, 220 from the United States and 144 from the United Kingdom. The website is accessed predominately by mobile device followed by tablet device. Conclusion To date the website continues to be accessed by patients and we have received very positive feedback. The digital media card has been adopted nationally and has become incorporated as part of the education of patients about MTX. Both the website and the digital media card are designed to support and enhance the education about MTX and not replace the formal education that nurses give to patients about MTX. The next step is to survey both the patients and healthcare professionals using the tools and identify what additions may enhance these tools. For further information go to www.methotrexate.ie to access the website and view the animation. Disclosures U.E.S. Martin Honoraria; U.M has received honoraria from Novartis, Abbvie Ireland.

Актуализация рефлексии опыта применения дистанционных технологий в подготовке педагога связана как с общим интересом к таким технологиям в педагогической науке последних лет, так и с необходимостью осмысления методических наработок, появившихся в условиях пандемии и временного перехода на полностью дистанционное обучение. Объектом анализа, проводимого на основе опыта Томского государственного педагогического университета, являются варианты применения различных форм и способов дистанционной работы с будущими педагогами. Материалом для анализа является опыт работы преподавателей и студентов в системах BigBlueButton и Moodle, полученный в течение 2020 г. Выявлены положительные результаты применения дистанционных образовательных технологий: повышение уровня подготовки будущего учителя в области информационных технологий; интенсификация работы обучающихся в связи с изменением форм контроля; освоение студентами новых форм и способов работы с историческими источниками и литературой. Показано, что дистанционное обучение может проводиться без снижения качества предметной подготовки. Вместе с тем дистанционные образовательные технологии имеют существенные недостатки, которые касаются проблем коммуникации педагога и аудитории. На данном этапе они не позволяют в полной мере развить у будущего педагога навыки публичного выступления, работы с большой аудиторией. Решение данной проблемы может являться предметом дальнейших дискуссий. Материалы статьи могут быть использованы в учебном процессе высших учебных заведений. The actualization of reflection on the experience of using distance technologies in teacher training is associated both with the general interest in such technologies in pedagogical science in recent years, and with the need to comprehend the methodological developments that have appeared in the context of a pandemic and the temporary transition to fully distance learning. The object of the analysis, based on the experience of Tomsk State Pedagogical University, is the options for using various forms and methods of remote work with future teachers. The material for the analysis is the experience of teachers and students in BigBlueButton and Moodle systems, obtained during 2020. The positive results of the use of distance educational technologies were revealed: an increase in the level of training of a future teacher in the field of information technology, an intensification of the work of students in connection with a change in the forms of control, the development of new forms and methods of work with historical sources and literature by new students. It is shown that distance learning can be carried out without reducing the quality of subject training. At the same time, distance educational technologies have significant drawbacks that relate to the problems of communication between the teacher and the audience. At this stage, they do not allow the future teacher to fully develop the skills of public speaking, working with a large audience. The solution to this problem may be the subject of further discussion. The materials of the article can be used in the educational process of higher educational institutions.

This article presents the paradigm shift, especially in school education, under the conditions of current mediatization, whereby we understand education initially as a communicative system that is dedicated to the acquisition of new and future relevant knowledge in lifelong processes of appropriation. To this end, educational institutions demand an educational language that screens out those who cannot serve that linguistic register. Arguing with regard to Rawls and Nussbaum, we present this selection mechanism under the conditions of current mediatization as both ideologically outdated and practically reducible and refer to current models of professionalization of teachers and international competency frameworks for digital media education.

The need for basic training in toxicology of students of pharmaceutical universities and departments of toxicology is justified. The experience of teaching toxicology and medical protection to students of the St. Petersburg State Chemical Pharmaceutical Academy was analyzed. Academic teaching staff were trained in the methodology of teaching toxicology, and a participated in the preparation of the all-Russian textbook «Toxicology and Medical Protection» (2016) and three tutorials for students of medical and pharmaceutical universities. It is shown that in accordance with the current Federal State Educational Standard of the third generation, toxicology issues are included in the curriculum of a complex discipline «Life Safety. Emergency Medicine» as a stand-alone module. Students study toxicology in the fifth year having received a good basic training in medical, biological, and professional disciplines in previous years. For realization of cognitive and creative activity of students in the educational process, modern educational technologies are used which make it possible to improve the quality of teaching and to use school time more efficiently. The potential of using algorithmic workbooks, interactive forms of training, test control, case-method for facilitating the perception of theoretical knowledge and improving the quality of practical skills development is demonstrated. Results of the anonymous questionnaire survey, in which 153 of 198 students who studied toxicology and medical protection in the autumn semester of the 2017/2018 academic year participated, are reported. It was shown that more than 80% of the students surveyed are convinced of the need to study toxicology during the undergraduate training of specialists of pharmaceutical profile and positively assessed the methodology of teaching toxicology that is performed at the St. Petersburg State Chemical Pharmaceutical Academy.
