This article uses the experience of the State Academic University of Humanities (GAUGN University) to consider the possibility of implementing technological solutions into the educational process. These technological solutions may allow not only improve the quality and efficiency of teaching in individual disciplines but also contribute to the creation of a collaborative environment for the professional community for scientists and educators. One of the technological solutions this article points out is the creation of a scientific journals network on the editorial and publishing platform JES (“Journal of Education and Science”). The functionality and the modular structure of the JES platform can be actively used in the educational process for testing and development of educational and methodological literature within electronic library systems, such as SOCHUM. The platform can as well become a repository for a variety of online courses and other digital products. Based on the examples outlined in the article, it is claimed that digitalization requires advanced information and communication technologies to become an integral part of the education system, allowing the creation of new educational modes and techniques to enhance student learning. The article also notes that the digital transition inevitably affects the change in the scientific research methods and practices, especially in the humanities, and therefore, the choice, implementation and application of digital technologies and digital content in education become particularly important.

INTRODUCTION

 

The first quarter of the 21st century was marked by the advance and spread of information and communication technologies, which completely changed society. Digitalization and automation have impacted the usual practices of everyday life and changed the traditional ways of social communication. Digital transformation has gradually entered education, and at first educational institutions were using technology mostly to supplement the already existing elements of the educational process (for example, to compensate for the lack of library collections through the digitization of educational and methodological literature). However, the constantly improving functionality of electronic resources has allowed educators to replace some outdated educational modes with innovative engaging learning formats by utilising new technologies. In 2021, providing effective information support to the educational sector within the framework of organizing the educational process and managing educational activities was noted by the Government of the Russian Federation as one of the strategic directions in the field of digital transformation of education related to the sphere of activity of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation. It was mentioned in Decree No. 3427-r of the Government of the Russian Federation of 2 December 2021.

2 The need to expand the distance learning capability has been an important factor in the digital transformation (particularly during the coronavirus pandemic in 2020 (Fomin-Nilov 2021)), which in turn required the improvement of organizational forms of the educational process (for example, an electronic diary). In higher education, administering diverse tasks has led to the implementation of the internal digital environment in most universities. Based on the specific needs and requirements of a particular educational institution the internal digital environment can be represented by either a set of integrated modules within one digital product (for example, the portal “1C: University”) or a combination of module sets.
3 At the same time, global digitalization in education revealed a problem of educational content verification available online and used for educational purposes. Researchers from diverse scientific backgrounds have engaged with this problem over many years. In the 2012 All-Russian Year of History events the influence of digital technologies on the development of historical research and education was discussed. The representatives of the historian professional community raised concerns that a wide range of Internet resources tends to replace the results of scientific research with alternative interpretations of historical facts, and sometimes utter falsifications. According to researchers, such Internet resources are “widely used and beginning to increasingly overshadow and deceive the voice of professionals” (Lipkin and Sekirinsky 2015). Digital dissemination of information has inevitably influenced the change in the scientific research practices influenced by the coexistence of traditional and digital modes of information storage (Volodin 2015; Borodkin 2016; Volodin 2020).
4 The discussion around the digitalization of education has only revealed parts of the bigger problem related to the rupture of stable connections between secondary and higher education, particularly visible in the field of humanities (Uvarov ed. 2019).
5 Development and improvement of various forms of science and education integration have always been one of the major priorities for the State Academic University of Humanities (GAUGN University) founded in 1994 on the basis of research institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The idea of creating an electronic journal that will use the advantages of modern information technologies and at the same time maintain a high scientific level of published materials was born within the university. This idea was initially discussed in 2005 by Denis V. Fomin-Nilov, at that time the Head of the Centre for Information Technologies of the Institute of World History of the Russian Academy of Sciences and later the rector of GAUGN University.

ELECTRONIC SCIENTIFIC EDUCATIONAL JOURNAL “ISTORIYA”

 

An important milestone in the active implementation of digital technologies in the educational process was the foundation of the Electronic Scientific and Educational Journal “ISTORIYA” in 2010. Founded by the Institute of World History RAS and GAUGN University, the “ISTORIYA” Journal at that time was the first humanities periodical in Russia distributed online exclusively on the Internet (https://history.jes.su/), at the same time not just an online version of the traditional print magazine. The “ISTORIYA” Journal website was hosted on the editorial and publishing platform JES (“Journal of Education and Science”), which allowed every journal user to create a personal account on the platform, choose a suitable subscription type, authorize leaving comments on publications and evaluate them, engage in discussion with the authors, and become an author and editorial board member and reviewer. The journal has become a social network for user interaction and publication activity (Tarkhanov, Fomin-Nilov and Fomin 2020).
