The situation of the contemporary world possesses such features that can be denoted by the acronym VUCA: volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity. The fundamental nonlinearity of the development of both nature and society turns into the inconsistency of the future with the usual and anticipated ideas of the humankind – and into changes in the philosophical understanding of the essence and strategies of higher education. Under the conditions of instability and unpredictability, any «ready-made» knowledge is irrelevant, it is quickly becoming obsolete; subsequently, the knowledge and skills acquired by a graduate of a higher education institution are no longer decisive for his or her competence: their place is rather being taken by the ability to create new forms of knowledge and skills in accordance with rapidly changing circumstances. In other words, in obedience to the human-dimensionality of the post-classical type of rationality, in a situation of uncertainty and risk, the human personality, the level of his or her general cultural development becomes especially valuable, – and the task of higher education becomes to educate a person capable of living in a world of complexity and uncertainty, capable of evaluating all the risks in a much wider perspective than any one single discipline or professional field. An important factor in this task is the transition to student-centered learning, i.e., focusing the educational process on student personality, but on teacher personality as well – contrary to the linear-modern orientation on the formality of learning, on standard, stable and constant educational trajectories. And it is philosophy that now possesses particular importance in the structure of the educational process, as a factor of successful formation of a full-fledged personality of a HEI graduate, able to deal with new, unusual things and phenomena - in other words, able to think creatively, critically and independently.

The article deals with the applying of information technologies in the educational process that imprave the quality of the educational process. Information technologies are introduced into education, which leads to improvement of graphic training of future specialists in engineering specialties. Implementation of information technology occurs in almost all sectors, but the most urgent solution of this issue the education system requires. It is hard to imagine a higher education institution that has been operating without the development of computer and information technology. Nowadays, the Internet and computer technology have become an integral part not only of daily life, but also of the educational process as a whole. Students perceive computer technology with much more interest and positives than regular textbooks and manuals. Information technologies in the educational process allows to change the character of educational and cognitive activity of students, to activate independent work of students with different electronic educational means. An important element of the educational and methodological complex is the applying of electronic publications, multimedia and interactive educational systems. The active role of information technology in education is due to the fact that, compared to traditional teaching aids, computer-based learning tools provide new opportunities, as well as enable the implementation of modern pedagogical learning technologies at a higher level, stimulate the development of didactics and teaching methods. Therefore, the use of educational information technologies in education today should be focused on the achievement of a strategic goal - training in higher education institutions not only specialist, but also creatively thinking and acting individual, capable of continuous self-improvement and self-development. Thus, it is advisable to apply information technologies: animation, presentations, interactive whiteboard, which allow the teacher to communicate with students at the modern technological level, to make the learning process more attractive and effective in order to increase the effectiveness of the perception of the lecture course in graphic disciplines. While the implementation of interactive methodology in the process of studying graphic disciplines the principles of didactics are implemented: scientific, systematic, consistent, accessible, durable knowledge and clarity. Interactive technologies make it possible to fully implement these principles in learning.
