The relevance of this article is in the need to study digital communications that affect the quality and content of education, its compliance with modern requirements and determine the level of intellectual potential of society. The University, as a Communicator, an intermediary between the student and the information provided to it, is forced to change the centuries-old traditions in order to stay on the market, in the face of fierce competition of the appeared open distance courses. The purpose of the research is to analyze the role of digital communication in the educational request of students. Research methods: As research methods, the following one was used: online questionnaire survey that allows you to analyze the prerequisites for the development of digital communication in the educational process and identify new opportunities in education through the personal account of the student. Research results: the article examines the reasons for using the personal account and determines the prospects for its further development in the University environment. The satisfaction of using a personal account from mobile devices among active users-students was studied. The existing problems I. D. Belonovskaya et al. 2 / 8 Online J. Commun. Media Technol., 10(2), e202008 are identified and the reasons for the rare use of the personal account are identified, strategies for attracting students' attention to the personal account are formulated. The novelty and originality of the research lies in the fact that the concept of digital communication is considered in the context of education and its functions are highlighted. The main features of digital communication are presented. The level of approval of existing and potential innovations by active student users (chat for communication, modified portfolio, task scheduler and Bulletin Board from the Institute) is determined. The opinion of students regarding the content of the main page of the personal account is revealed. The preconditions for the development of digital communication in the educational process are investigated: the emergence of digital natives' generation; the resulting request to continuing education; growing importance of self-education; formation of the concept of anticipatory learning; rapid development of open education; a trend to introduce elements of gamification into educational process; the universal gadgetization. The essence of the information and educational environment of the University and the opportunities it provides are studied. The possibilities of the student personal account as a single information space are considered. Recommendations for the modernization of the personal account are given: to rename the group of incomprehensible and non-visited subsections by students; to change the content of the main page by moving the schedule and the number of the school week on it. The research identifies problems with color (the ideal option that would solve a large number of problems, according to students, is the ability to independently desig...

Research problem. The problem of the pedagogical technologies effectiveness for students’ distance learning has grown more acute in the extreme period of the world pandemic lockdowns. The analysis of the training quality and students’ estimations showed a decrease in the significance of vocational and oriented texts; weak association between educational material and the reality of the profession; vagueness of visual representation of study objects; misunderstanding of the processes studied; reluctance to read the texts of methodological materials; misunderstanding of presentation graphics; rapid fatigue and reduced concentration of attention in monologue lectures. The research focuses on the experience of using the developing potential of imaging technologies in hybrid training. Research aim: To analyze the experience of implementing various modern technologies for visualizing the content of vocational and oriented educational disciplines in hybrid university tuition; to identify and experimentally test the positive effects of the influence of visualization technologies in hybrid tuition. Research methods: Theoretical methods – the analysis of the developing potential of pedagogical technologies for visualizing objects and processes in domestic and foreign universities. Experimental methods included: case visualization; Flickr-illustration of presentations; static and dynamic animation; video and qualimetric analysis. Empirical methods included; statistical analysis of the students’ questionnaire results; learning products and the results of academic achievements. The study involved 103 students on 2-3 undergraduate courses. Conclusions and recommendations. The research provides conclusions about the significant developing potential of pedagogical technologies of visualization in the educational process of the university. The analysis of the educational results demonstrated the demand for visualization technologies. Most assessments of academic achievements and the students’ own predictions were above average. Case visualization as a variant of visualization technology provides a realistic presentation of real-life situations. Flickr-illustration of presentations is based on advanced Internet skills. The cooperative presentations by several students ensured the development of teamwork in a geographically distributed remote format. The animated images and dynamism of the objects revived lectures; reduced the fatigue; and the monotony of teachers’ and students’ distance meetings. This method contributed to the concentration of attention and the development of students’ professional intuition. It provides the ability to repeat and watch video recordings of laboratory at a convenient time for detailed monitoring of the process under study. Thus, visualization technologies in the modern digital version improve the quality of professional education both in full-time and in a distance format of training in the universities. Application: In the development of training courses on MOODLE platforms as well as other digital higher education educational environments.
