Single information space for innovation activity of industry-specific higher education institution
The work is aimed at development and improvement of the system of information provision and activation of innovation and project activity of universities for prepairing specialists of oil and gas industry. The authors have proposed a model of the information system based on the use of electronic document flow, implemented, at this stage, for the organization of the activity process. The workflow is based on the use of cloud-based Google services for schools with a backup repository on a local server. The availability of corporate e-mail and electronic signature is the condition of access. The preparation for the implementation of the network model of scientific development has been done. A specialized technical institution of higher education (HEI) has been chosen as an institutional basis for the functioning of the scientific and educational information space. An analysis of the existing business processes of the HEI’s work has been carried out using the approach of creating classifiers and time-based budgeting based on the map-tables. The conceptual model of the combination of initial work and scientific research has been developed. The use of Trello project management system for university teaching has been proposed because Trello is an extremely simple tool that is easy to implement in the workflow without long adaptation of the staff. This system supports the flexible management of the project team and integration with the services of working with documents. It has been established that in spite of the shortcomings, at the first stage of the project management implementation the use of such cloud service would allow to overcome the psychological inertia of participants in the process of work on projects without the heavy expenses. The proposed approaches to engineering education will allow using the potential of student youth for the development of innovations by scientific-educational project teams and minimize the costs of ensuring the functioning of a single information space of innovation-project activity in oil and gas industry.
