An effective system of electronic courses development and maintenance as a key problem of electronic information and educational environment development at university

This paper discusses one of the urgent problems of education quality management at the pedagogical university the design and use of an effective system of electronic courses development and maintenance. This problem is analyzed taking into account the results of a pilot survey of pedagogical universities teachers, as well as the experience of deployment and modernization of electronic information and educational environment (EIEE) at various universities of the Samara Region. It is noted that in terms of classification of EIEE maturity levels, a significant number of regional pedagogical universities are at the second or the beginning of the third level, at which all EIEE opportunities from a quarter to a half of teachers and students are actively used. The paper presents the hypothesis substantiation: the transition to the next level of EIEE maturity can and should be carried out purposefully and systematically. At the same time the necessary condition for the growth of EIEE maturity is the qualification improvement of the majority of the university teaching staff, as well as the deployment of its own infrastructure (hardware and software), a possible version of which is also briefly described in the paper. An alternative is to rent several dedicated servers from a reliable service provider with data centers in the Russian Federation. The obtained materials can serve as a basis for the design of new approaches to the construction оf EIEE pedagogical universities in Russia.
