Abstract

The digital revolution is bringing new competition to education compared to classical universities, especially in the form of more accessible online education. At the same time, interest is growing in the mobility of educational services, which is designed to bridge the gap between businesses that require new competencies, the inertia of universities in providing them within the framework of classical programs, and the student’s desire to instantly receive services to master new competencies.

All this is accompanied by the development of a competency-based approach to education, which allows structuring the needs of society and clearly formulating the demand of society for the training of professionals. This need has already been formulated in the form of European standards and professional frameworks that create a regulatory framework for the implementation of new approaches to education.

The paper describes the initial results of the study, the aim of which was to create a fundamental feasibility model for a cloud-based service-oriented education platform for the next generation of an educational institution.

This article presents the Service Delivery Model, which provides a description of the main functions of the proposed digital educational platform.
