Digitalization of the library sector requires library staff to develop digital competencies, information retrieval skills and new knowledge in the field of data processing. The purpose of the study was to identify the digital skills of specialists of public libraries and the opportunities for their development when mastering additional professional education programs with the use of distance learning technologies. Educational programs for advanced training of library specialists, implemented within the framework of the Federal project “Creative People” of the National project “Culture”, have become the basis for such work. The article analyses the experience of participation of the St. Petersburg State Institute of Culture in educational projects for professional development of practicing librarians using distance learning technologies, the topics of programs offered by the centres for continuing education and advanced training of creative and managerial personnel in the field of culture in 2019—2021. Programs of additional professional education give priority to the formation and development of digital skills in the following categories: information (information literacy), communication (communication and collaboration) and creative skills (creation of digital content). There is an obvious shortage of educational programs related to the formation of critical thinking of users of digital resources and information security. Communication skills of librarians participating in the Creative People project implemented in their willingness to undergo formal training remotely, in a positive attitude towards the distant forms of professional development, despite their labour intensiveness. It is established that in the structure of thematic preferences of library specialists for future training in the system of continuing professional education there prevail the topics related to the formation of information and communication competencies. The article notes that significant proportion of specialists who have mastered the advanced training program are not ready to clearly determine in what types of practical activities their knowledge and skills can be applied. The obtained results make it possible to correct the topics of educational programs of further professional education of library specialists, to clarify the list of priority didactic tasks and the tools of distance learning technologies used for their implementation.

In modern educational system reform in Russia, there is a deepening contradiction between the required and real level of professional competence of teachers. One way to overcome this contradiction is the systematic professional development of the teaching staff implemented with the help of distance learning technologies (DLT). One of the means to ensure high quality of training is course evaluation by trainees. It allows for motivation and a high level of training, to understand the directions of the course modification. At the same time, teachers themselves are professional experts in training, and their assessment of the e-course may be more objective than that of the trainees of other professions. Additional vocational education is primarily characterized by a high degree of applied orientation to modern learning technologies. Such are the realities that changes, especially in digital technology in education, are changing rapidly. And it is so fast that, in fact, one person cannot be aware of the full range of directions in which they (the changes) are taking place. This problem can be solved using the DLT through systematic modification of the e-course. The object of the study in this paper is the process of teachers’ training in the system of professional development of pedagogical staff using distance learning technologies. The subject of the study: the mechanism of optimization of elearning distance learning courses used in the system of professional development of pedagogical staff. Research purpose: to identify mechanisms to optimize the effectiveness of e-courses to increase trainees’ motivation, correlation of theory content with practice with the help of trainees themselves under conditions of synergetic approach [1]. Research objectives: a) to identify parameters for improving the effectiveness of e-courses; b) to develop a toolkit for improving the effectiveness of e-courses; c) to develop recommendations for improving the effectiveness of e-courses. The method used in the study is the analysis of pedagogical literature, Google-form-based questionnaire, synthesis, and generalization. The novelty of the study is related to the creation of conditions for modifying e-courses for teachers’ professional development through the examination of the course by the teachers themselves. This article is written within the framework of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research project 19-29-14176 “Building a Fundamental Model of Digital Transformation of the General Education System Using a Digital Platform for Results-Based Education”.

Problem and goal. The active introduction of e-learning and distance learning technologies in the educational process, the reform of traditional models of learning and education have become priority areas of reforms and initiatives in various national education systems in the 21st century. Given that public spending is the main source of funding for education in the OECD countries, assessing the economic impact of implementing a digital educational environment at different levels of education under pressure on public budgets has become a key issue for national governments and educational organizations, as well as the subject of special research. In Russian practice assessment of the economic effect of the full-scale use of e-learning and distance learning technologies in the implementation of educational programs of secondary professional (training of middle-level specialists) and higher education have not yet been carried out. For these purposes, a methodology has been developed, which, however, needs to be tested. Results. The study identified a list of costs required to ensure the full use of e-learning and distance educational technologies in realization of educational programs of secondary vocational (training of mid-level professionals) and higher (including graduate school) education; the methodlogy for assessing the economic effect of these measures is justified, and calculations are made based on this methodology. Conclusion. The developed methodology has shown its effectiveness and needs further research and quantitative analysis.
