This chapter is structured to help give readers a general impression about gamification and its relationship with e-learning from the perspective of basic sources of gamification. Gamification is important for e-learning, which can share the same digital environment with digital game components because it has the potential to increase the engagement of the learners in digital environment. This chapter on gamification has primarily tried to explain the reasons for prompting people to play and the kinds of actions of the players after defining the game and gamification. Afterwards, explaining the components of the gamification design models, some gamification applications are stated as successful examples that can be used in e-learning. The chapter concludes by giving information about the limits, criticism, and future of gamification.

The authors justified the idea of developing online courses based on the use of Moodle tools, allowing the formation of knowledge in the field of technological and methodological skills and abilities to use educational applications, services, and their application in professional activities in the implementation of online learning in the digital environment of the university.  Assessment of the effectiveness of the online course is confirmed by the solution of professional tasks from the knowledge of the digital educational environment with interdisciplinary content and tasks requiring the use of e-learning tools. Analysis of the results using two-way analysis of variance revealed a significant effect of factors on the effective feature using the F-test. The significance of the study lies in the development of online advanced training courses aimed at improving the technological level of teachers and educators of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) in the implementation of the remote format of training using online distance learning tools and technologies.

This paper reports the results of an empirical study that investigated the instructional design process of three teams involved in the development of an e-learning unit. The teams declared they were using the same fast-prototyping design and development model, and were composed of the same roles (although with a different number of SMEs). Results indicate that the design and development model actually informs the activities of the group, but that it is interpreted and adapted by the team for the specific project. Thus, the actual practice model of each team can be regarded as an emergent feature. This analysis delivers insights concerning issues about team communication, shared understanding, individual perspectives and the implementation of prescriptive instructional design models.

The article introduces a comprehensive study of distance learning in higher education during the pandemic. The authors analyzed the readiness of universities to implementing e-learning platforms. They focused on the legal and organizational aspects of digital environment. The authors studied relevant interviews given by heads of higher educational institutions in various media sources. The research objective was to develop and perform a formalized interview with full-time students of Russian universities. The study made it possible to identify a wide range of issues that affect the passage to distance learning, as well as to define the prospective directions and problem areas of the digital environment at universities as part of domestic digital economy. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the development of tasks for a successful transfer of universities to distance or blended learning.

This chapter demonstrates the inadequacy of multicultural and internationalization instructional design models as the solution for equitable outcomes in the learning, credentialing, and employment stakes in the 21st century. Internationalizing learning and teaching eclipsed multiculturalism as the acclaimed strategy when Western universities entice international non-English-speaking-background students to their campuses or offer degrees to such e-learning students who reside in their own countries. Global and Western businesses establishing niches in overseas countries also use the concept of internationalizing their e-learning materials for the cultural training of staff. In their place, a theoretical model of multiple cultures provides the rationale and strategies for creating and adapting e-learning resources for local, national, and international e-learning contexts.

The article presents a methodology for assessing the level of formation professional competencies in university digital environment. The proposed methodology includes principles that should be taken into account when assessing learning outcomes in the digital environment, a three-step approach to building the educational process using adaptive e-learning course (AELC), and a model for assessing the formation of professional competencies in AELC. The scientific novelty of the methodology is constructing a model that includes formalizing the structure of an adaptive e-learning course and means of assessing labor functions: knowledge, skills and labor actions according to the cognitive, praxiological and motivational/axiological components of competency. The formalization of the structure and evaluation tools of the adaptive e-learning course was carried out to assess the results of the formation of professional competencies. Formulas are proposed for assessing professional competency for individual modules of the discipline, for the discipline and for the educational program as a whole, implemented in digital environment. The results of testing the methodology for assessing the formation of professional competencies in teaching students of the direction of training “Information Systems and Technologies” in School of Space and Information Technologies of Siberian Federal University are presented. The approach allows us to minimize the subjectivity of the teacher in assessing student learning outcomes, and also allows for automated assessment of the level of formation professional competencies in the digital environment and, according to the new education standards (FSES 3++), provides sufficient objectivity in assessing formation level. In the future, the proposed method can be extended to estimate the level of formation of universal and general professional competencies of the curriculum and to become the universal tool to assess the level of training of the graduates.

Students' training quality directly depends on the modern digital environment resources in the federal university. Rich digital environment of the university provides effective learning and allows students to use innovative learning technologies (e-portfolio, digital laboratories, MOOC, etc.) in professional activities for projecting and realization of individual educational paths. E-learning, distant learning technologies implementation and other digital environment resources for potential teachers’ training at the federal university make the learning process more effective. The article describes the practice at Institute of Education, Psychology and Sociology of Siberian Federal University in creating modern digital environment for teachers’ training by the means of e-portfolio technologies, digital laboratory, PROLog module system of experiments, learning management system (LMS) Moodle.
