Abstract
The article discusses the idea and proposes digital framework models for creating platform for higher and professional education based on Education as a Service (EaaS) model. The prerequisites for creating such a new type of educational approach, which could, through the digital integration of existing educational services, create a single ecosystem for obtaining competencies on an individual request are described in the paper. The basic principles for the development of a digital platform that implements the ecosystem of the EaaS model are discussed in the paper: principle of competency-based learning, principle of service-oriented education, principle of open recourses, principle of student-centered education and principle of academia-business partnerships. The architecture of the system functionally grouped at four levels, which form the frame of the EaaS model: pedagogical level, organizational level, competence level, technological level. The main components of its architecture are described in the paper.
