Digital transformation of domestic education in the 1990s – the thirst quarter of the 21st Century

Abstract

The article describes the digital transformation of domestic education in the 1990s - the first quarter of the 2020s. The prerequisites for digital transformation are presented in the connection with: the course "Fundamentals of Computer Science and Computer Engineering", the emergence of the first mass Internet provider, registration of a new network in the international InterNIC registry and registration of the "ru" domain in the DNS zone. Three historical periods are distinguished: the first period (1994–2011) – the development of the Russian language information and educational space on the network; the second period (2012–2019) – the formation of the "digital framework", the transition of the education sector to a digital format; the third period (2020 – present) – force majeure digitalization and updating of digital needs. Conclusions: during these periods the education system underwent a qualitative transformation, although the developments were sometimes belated, which was revealed by the 2020 pandemic situation and the implementation of the MES; the need to find digital solutions will only increase in the future, both due to the increase in the number of users and the load on the infrastructure itself, as well as due to restrictions in the technology sector associated with sanctions from Western countries.
