Formation of a Digital Educational Ecosystem For Lifelong Learning in the Field of Technosphere Safety

Abstract

Digitalization and continuing education are the top priority of education modernization in the Russian Federation. At present, in the conditions of increased virus threats digital educational ecosystems with online courses, the educational and methodical digital technologies are becoming particularly relevant for the educational process in the field of human security of power engineering. The article is devoted to the formation of a digital educational ecosystem in the field of human security in the technosphere. The ecosystem based on the Dispace 2.0 software platform and used for continuous training in the safety of the technosphere. Empirical and theoretical methods and an expert assessment involving the Thomas L. Saaty hierarchy analysis are used. The formation of a pedagogically useful emergent digital ecosystem is the current solution to the problem of staff training for providing human safety in the energetics, corresponding to the threats of the present-day realities. This, however, needs a radical rethinking of purposes, content, technologies, and the methods of staff training. The article shows that the formed digital educational ecosystem is the best and meets the stated criteria and needs of the educational process in the field of human safety in technosphere at the Novosibirsk State Technical University (Faculty of Power Engineering). The analytical hierarchy method can be effectively used by managers and teaching staff of educational organizations for expert assessment and selection of learning management systems and other options.
