“…The research materials confirm the conclusions made by E.V. Soboleva et al about the fact that the functionality of e-learning and m-learning can provide additional conditions for forming demanded skills of students (Soboleva et al, 2020). In addition, the presented results complement the conclusions of O.V.…”

Important requirements imposed on modern employees are project thinking, team work in order to solve a socially significant problem and the ability to apply principles of self-management. In addition, these supra-professional skills are fundamental in the concept of soft skills. The authors suggest using Smartsheet tools as a digital resource to form these in-demand skills.The research methodology is based on the technology of collaborative learning, group work methods (comments, talks, providing cards, defending projects). The software tool is the Smartsheet service. The authors have used standard methods of mathematical statistics to process empirical data.Research results. The authors describe features of organizing collaboration in the Smartsheet environment to form project management skills: determining the minimum required range of tools for mandatory use, including elements of mini-research, understanding the content of the task and options for its development, distribution to teams as a random event, etc. The authors evaluate levels of formation of project management skills and statistically significant differences in the qualitative changes that occurred in the pedagogical system.Finally, they come to the conclusion that working with Smartsheet tools for exporting data from ready-made spreadsheets, delimiting access rights and allocating resources, tracking comments, adding files, and team introspection provide additional conditions for the formation of high-demanded competencies in the theory and practice of project management.

“…Reported literature on efforts to improve project management education can be classified into two main streams. One stream is focusing on identifying type of skills and knowledge and other competencies that project practitioners should have in order to be able to manage projects or to manage changes brought by projects [1][2][3][4][5]. The second stream is looking into suitable instructional methods and modes of delivery to facilitate developing the skills needed to achieve that purpose [6][7][8][9][10].…”

The purpose of this paper is to present the preliminary findings from implementing and evaluating a project-based learning example (The Animation Project). The idea of the project is to involve the students in producing learning aids in project management in the form of video animations of real-life project cases. This was done to create an authentic project experience of actual projects that has solutions that potentially could be implemented. The preliminary findings suggest that the project adequately satisfied its intended objectives, in particular, the project provided students with an opportunity to understand and relate better to various project management concepts. Results also suggest that involving students in authentic project assignments may have positive impact on motivation and dedication in the project.

“…Ряд исследований обобщает основные проблемы и методику преподавания основ проектной деятельности. Между тем, поскольку проекты эволюционируют от восприятия их как практики решения задач тактического уровня к социально значимым «инструментам изменений», теории, методы и практика управления проектами также должны эволюционировать, а академические программы по управлению проектами должны быть лидерами в этом развитии [4]. Так, отмечается, что в некоторых вузах существует значительный разрыв между предлагаемыми текущими учебными планами, используемыми для управления проектами в образовательных учреждениях, и набором навыков, требуемым промышленностью.…”
