Suitable application of the knowledge about individual learning to develop organizational learning processes is the focus and scope of this paper. Organization is an abstract concept. Consequently, organizational learning depends to a large extent on the learning by individual employees. Cognitive learning is treated in greater detail than physical learning, although the two often occur and are treated simultaneously. The attributes of the individual learning process discussed here include intrinsic and extrinsic factors like motivation, feedback, environment, social influences, and role of emotions.

Information communication and technologies (ICT) as a facilitator of active learning (AL) in higher education is becoming an increasingly important tool. One of the most significant developments with the use of ICT in higher education over the last decade has been the integration and application of e-learning systems to support the processes of teaching and learning. The implementation of ICT into the classroom should not be seen as merely an add-on, but should be included with purpose: meaningfully implemented based on pedagogy. Despite the suggested power of ICT in educating students for a modern future, the implementation of these technologies into the classroom is not as widespread as expected; debate still abounds as to what role ICT should play in the classroom. This research examined a variety of dependable attributes that assessed the engagement of undergraduate students (n1=87) through virtual whiteboards. This quantitative inquiry revealed that students perceived virtual whiteboards as beneficial for their learning and improved their engagement level in the classroom. Furthermore, a correlation between the level of engagement and the year of study was revealed as the primary implication of this research.

The article presents the results of theoretical analysis of the phenomena of informatisation of education, information society and two-level higher education. The specifics of training at the bachelor’s and master’s degrees are indicated, and the interdependence of the bachelor’s and master’s degrees is reflected. The authors conducted a comparative analysis of educational standards for bachelor’s and master’s degrees in pedagogic and psychological-pedagogic areas of training, both the current and previous versions. The results of the analysis indicate a tendency to increase the continuity of bachelor’s and master’s degrees, which is expressed in reducing the gap between the content of standards of the first and second stages of higher education. Also, the comparative analysis showed that in comparison with previous versions, the current standards of pedagogic and psychological-pedagogic directions are more similar to each other in terms of educational results. A crosscutting issue in the article is the use of Internet technologies in the context of two-level higher education and the development of informatisation of society. In the context of the increasing role of Internet technologies in educational activities, in the opinion of the authors, the systemic in nature of informatisation of higher education is significant, in particular, providing the system work of actors in education with the information-educational environment of a higher education institution.
