Integration of the Digital Space of the University Using the Implementation of Personal Accounts of Students, Lecturers and Applicants

The purpose of this study is to consider the theory and practice of integrating the digital space of a university through the introduction of personal accounts of students, lecturers and applicants, including a description of possible subsystems and services for these accounts.

Materials and methods. This study used the following materials and methods: analysis of bibliographic sources on the problems of digital transformation of the higher education system, as well as methods of collecting, systematizing, structuring and analyzing data about subsystems and services of personal accounts of students, lecturers and applicants of the university.

Results. The results of the paper include the project of subsystems and services for personal accounts of students, lecturers and university applicants. The project of a university student’s personal account includes the following subsystems: educational process, practice and employment, feedback, interaction with accounting, electronic document management (ordering assignments and certificates), integration with information systems. The personal account of a university lecturer contains subsystems: educational process, research work, interaction with the personnel department, interaction with accounting, quality management system, integration with information systems. The applicant’s personal account includes subsystems: submission of documents, entrance exams, enrollment, conclusion of contracts, feedback, authorization in the personal account. The problems and prospects for the digital transformation of the education system and the issues of integrating personal accounts into the electronic environment of universities are also considered. In particular, we can propose the integration of personal accounts into the following possible versions of basic platforms: LMS - learning management system (for example, LMS Moodle); ERP - enterprise resource planning (for example, 1C: PROF University); university Internet portal (for example, on the 1C-Bitrix platform); implementation of personal accounts using the university’s own software developments based on systems with a web interface (with an adapted version for mobile devices). In addition, a model for the possible integration of the personal accounts of a student and a lecturer into the university information environment is created. Besides, an example of the implementation of a lecturer’s personal account in the Electronic information and educational environment of the Bashkir State Agrarian University is given.

Conclusion. We can conclude that the digital transformation of higher education is an extremely complex, multi-component task. Its effective solution is possible only through the integration interaction of all participants in the educational process. Organization of effective interaction between the administration, lecturers, students and applicants of the university based on the use of modern information technologies will allow for continuous monitoring of the progress of educational activities with the possibility of carrying out corrective measures to ensure the intensification of activities in key areas for the university. The introduction of personal accounts of students, lecturers and applicants into the activities of the university will automate interaction with all participants in the educational process, which will help to improve its efficiency.
