CREATION OF ELECTRONIC EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES IN THE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY

Abstract

The type structure of Electronic Educational Resources (EER) created for students, research and educational employees is considered. The development trends in the digital services of online education are presented. Open access educational materials on websites of the University libraries are analysed. A large amount of factual materials with educational content have been collected and three most common groups of EER have been identified: video-, text- and visual materials. It was found that some types of digital educational content, such as mind maps, animation, educational video games, stop motion videos, computer simulators etc., are almost not presented on the websites of the University libraries although they have significant potential for the modern educational process. The relevance of libraries' EER to the development trends in the digital services of online education is analyzed. The directions in EER development, requiring the attention of library specialists, are determined as follows: modernization of terminology and classification of EER; their verification; the enhancement of the professional competence of employees for improvement of the quality of educational materials; collaboration with the providers of tools and resources for creating educational materials.
