The Importance of the Coursera digital platform
The use of online courses on the Coursera international digital education platform in the learning system is one of the effective ways to develop the professional competence of learners. The integration of world-level online courses into the teaching of a subject enables learners to thoroughly analyze the acquired information.
At the same time, after completing international online courses integrated with the academic discipline, learners can obtain international certificates confirming the knowledge and skills they have acquired. The integration of online courses into the academic discipline contributes to the development of learners’ digital and professional competencies, improves the quality of education, and allows for the active introduction of innovative technologies into the educational process.
At present, the method of integrating online courses from the Coursera platform into academic disciplines is being активно applied at the Department of Physical Chemistry, Catalysis and Petrochemistry. The acquisition of internationally recognized certificates by learners who have completed online courses increases their competitiveness in their future professional activities and strengthens their professional formation. In addition, digital educational platforms deeply combine theory and practice.
