The need in combination of digital technologies and traditional training techniques for ensuring effective learning process in education has becoming particularly relevant in the context of dynamic changes and community digitalization. Such an educational technology that combine digital technologies and traditional training techniques and provide educational environment for active learning is blended learning. One of criteria which influence the providing of an effective blended learning environment is evaluation. The purpose of this article is to analyse the main criteria and a number of frameworks for evaluating blended learning effectiveness, of the educational process in particular, which combines traditional (face-to-face) educational process, distance learning technologies and some elements of the web-based learning. According to the purpose, the tasks have been assigned and fulfilled as follows: we have examined the role of evaluating blended learning in educational institutions to determine the effectiveness of this learning technology, we have identified the major problems that need to be solved, we have scaled positive practices of blended learning to improve teaching and learning. The outlined models and criteria for the evaluation of blended learning effectiveness are specified in this article. The authors represent the objective and structured characteristics which are used for measuring the blended learning course effectiveness as well as for improving the educational programs and teaching / learning process in educational institutions in order to engage students, improve their learning outcome and achieve the course’s learning objectives. The authors also have formulated and substantiated the definition of the blended learning effectiveness as a complex process, which involves comprehensive analysis of a number of criteria: the combination of the data regulating the course outcomes, the measures determining the learners’ satisfaction with their results, the learners’ engagement into the educational environment and evaluation of their theoretical and practical skills.

The purpose of the article is to substantiate the creation of the project of the digital educational platform “My format” on the territory of the Orenburg region. Currently, there is no such digital platform in the region, which leads to gaps in the interaction of participants in the educational process. The main idea of the project is to describe a digital platform created for students of schools, teachers, administration of educational institutions, parents of students, universities, colleges and NGOs in the Orenburg region. A digital educational platform should create an information space that will unite participants in the learning process. Each of the interested parties, thanks to the platform, can satisfy their needs. For example, students will have the opportunity of remote education, teachers will have access to methodological materials and information, school administration (representatives of employers, universities, etc.) the ability to carry out testing to control the level of knowledge of students. The authors of the article, in order to implement the proposed idea, created a model of the functioning of the “My Format” platform, identified the advantages and opportunities from its use by interested parties. During the work, possible risks (barriers) were identified, a roadmap (milestones) was prepared, and the main indicators for evaluating the effectiveness of the project were identified. At the end of the article, the relevant conclusions are made, summarizing the results of the study.

The introduction of various information technologies into the learning process remains relevant. Higher schools are developing new forms and methods of teaching, focused on the use of computer Internet technologies. In the context of informatization of the education sector, the introduction of blended learning, as one of the varieties of e-learning, is best suited to the task of forming the cultural and professional competences of the future engineer. Blended learning technology has significant didactic capabilities and is characterized by a variety of forms, methods and learning tools provided, their interactivity, different ways of interaction between the subjects of the educational process and most fully meets the specifics of the university. The features of the use of distance learning technologies for students of the day department of engineering and technical specialties are considered in the article, the use of the basic elements of the e-course is described. Elements of electronic courses introduced in the educational process are presented, one form of blended learning is described. Within the course of higher mathematics, which is taught at Sumy State University, an information and practical block was formed. The information block is presented by electronic lecture notes with a built-in dictionary, video lectures and presentations. Information from the theoretical unit of the discipline is available to the student at any time when accessing through the student's personal office. Practical block of study of mathematical discipline includes tasks for individual work, simulators, tests. The article describes the peculiarities of implementation of these elements in the educational process. It is noted that the mixed approach to learning gives more interactivity and stimulates active learning, motivates students to educational and cognitive activity, allows to develop skills of independent learning, promotes the development of creative thinking and search for non-standard solutions. The introduction of electronic control elements of training (tests, tasks for joint performance, etc.) allows the teacher to get rid of the routine work of checking the intermediate learning result. Electronic systems allow you to do this quickly, efficiently, impartially. Conclusions have been made regarding the effectiveness of introducing blended learning into the learning process.

The aim of the research is to assess the learning process during a pandemic, provide feedback on this issue and promote a deeper understanding of the importance of the results of a Blended Learning Course project. This result clearly shows that effectiveness and satisfaction play an important role in involving students in this format of learning. It is obvious that the possibilities of self/ autonomous learning in BLC are significantly expanded. In general, it can be seen that the use of innovative and traditional forms of education makes it possible to obtain a much better result in the training of specialists. The experience of Vinnytsia State Pedagogical University in the implementation of blended learning shows that the integration of the traditional education system with e-learning is the most effective. The strategic plan for the development of the Pedagogical University for 2022 provides for the solution of a number of tasks that are directly related to the intensification of the use of digital technologies in the educational process.

The article discusses the methodology of forming the teacher's readiness to use the electronic educational environment by immersion technology. The relevance of the study is determined by the challenges of our time. During the pandemic, all educational institutions of the Russian Federation had to switch to distance learning for students. Which presupposes possession of digital technologies by all participants in the educational process. To bridge the «digital divide» in the student-teacher relationship, a methodology has been developed to improve the qualifications of the teaching staff, which allows them to organize their professional activities using digital technologies. The leading method of researching this problem was a pedagogical experiment conducted among teachers and students, which made it possible to identify a positive trend in the willingness of teachers to use the capabilities of the University's electronic information and educational environment based on the results of the proposed methodology. The article clarifies the structure of a teacher's readiness to use the electronic information and educational environment of an educational organization, substantiates the effectiveness of the methodology for the formation of readiness using immersion technology.

The article deals with the important issues related to informatization of professional education on the example of vocational teacher education. The research problem consists in the definition of innovative approaches to the organization of the educational process in the information and educational environment that facilitate the integration of the interests of society in the training of competent personnel and the interests of the students. The authors consider the essence and structure of the information and educational environment, the features of its functioning in the university teaching process, as well as the role and place of the educational portal elms.timacad.ru. The authors consider the use of blended learning technology, combining the possibilities of the Internet and digital media with classroom activities, for the preparation of future vocational teachers on the example of the course "Management psychology and personnel management". In particular, the authors use the "flipped classroom" model of blended learning technology: before the lesson begins, students independently study theoretical material (usually using ICTs: video lectures, audio lectures, interactive materials, diagnostic techniques, etc.), and the lesson focuses on solving problems, cooperation, training interaction, applying knowledge and skills in a new situation, creating a new training product. Empirical data are presented on the students' assessments of the effectiveness of the blended learning model on the basis of the educational portal. The main difficulties of application of mixed training technology are revealed: high labor-capacity of development of educational content for e-courses and low level of teachers’ information competence.

Evolving digital technologies are infiltrating schools wave after wave. The changes taking place are viewed as the schools’ digital renewal process (SDRP). The SDRP is complex (multidimensional). It includes changes in the educational environment (physical and virtual), the educational process, and the way the school operates. The SDRP goes uneven, with individual schools at different stages. One-time observation of the SDRP allows you to fix its current state (statics). The longitudinal observations allows you to see changes in the schools’ digital renewal (kinematics). The connection of the observed changes with the impact on the general education system makes it possible to discuss the development of digital renewal under the influence of individual control actions (dynamics). The stages of penetration of digital technologies into the work of the school: computerization, early and mature informatization, digital transformation (transition to the “Smart School”) can be considered as the stages of maturity of the SDRP. The article discusses a framework for describing the processes of digital renewal of schools in an evolving digital environment and an assessment of the SDRP’s maturity.
