Digitalization and Digital Culture in the Context of Inclusive Higher Education

Abstract

The article discusses the current problems of the introduction and implementation of digital education in an inclusive university. Analyzed concepts of digitalization, digital culture and digital technologies. Presented results of an empirical study aimed at identifying the impact of the Internet on students of an inclusive university. The study uses diagnostic methods aimed at studying the activity of a person in a virtual social network, as well as methods of mathematical statistics. The diagnostic results indicate that the majority of students are quite dependent on Internet resources, but this does not prevent them from socializing in society, meeting their needs in interests and communication. There is a direct correlation between the level of quality of education received by students with disabilities and the degree of their participation in society. So, the creation of a digital educational environment in the university provides an opportunity to receive high-quality professional education, which is a socially significant factor affecting the innovative development of the country.
