Digital Technologies and Project Management as the Basis of Competitiveness of the Distance Business Education

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to identify the features of ensuring the competitiveness of distance business education and modern trends in the development of the field of educational services and the role of digital technologies and project management in these processes. General scientific and special methods are used: historical-logical grouping (systematization of electronic learning system elements, distance education, approaches of project management etc.); generalization (understanding of modern role and evaluation of distance education and e-learning resources, digitalization processes). It has been proven that such an alternative to traditional formal education is more closely correlated with the demands of the labour market, allows to better and more quickly meet the needs of employers, and for employees to ensure their professional development throughout their life and to apply their competencies in the countries of the European Union. Approaches to project management in distance business education are described. It has been established that project management in business education has a scientific basis based on pedagogical theories and researches, which supports active, collaborative and critical learning, and also promotes the development of skills that are important in today's information society and the labour market.
