Developing the SibMed information system through automating the educational program preparation processes

The article discusses university information system (IS) development as a digital transformation process. It is noted that automating the development and implementation of educational programs (EP) provides a basis for educational environment digitization. Moreover, it is the main criterion of the extent of the university’s digital transformation.The article analyzes the current state of educational environment digitization at universities and highlights the necessity of using automation tools to form the structure and content of EPs. It is necessary to develop an automated technology for designing EPs at the state level. The technology will enable teachers to automatically comply with the requirements for EP structure and content, to develop EPs to a high methodological standard, and promptly bring them to all educational institutions.The article reveals the specifics of the project to automate the development of higher education EPs drawing on the example of Siberian State Medical University (SibMed). The possibility of solving this problem is based on employing the software product Intellect Info: Educational programs (1С:University PROF extension). The research proposes technological solutions for creating the content of higher education EPs. These solutions take into account professional (occupational) standards, the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard 3++. The article also outlines methods of the automated formation of competencies achievement indicators, EP description, and the preparation of working programs for disciplines.The research discusses the possibility of developing the IS of any Russian university to solve the problems of forming the content of higher education EP on the basis of 1C:University PROF.
