Introduction

Over the past decade, the area of ​​informatization of education has been actively developing in the education system of the Russian Federation, associated with the development of telecommunication networks and the development of information and educational Internet resources.

The beginning of this process was the creation in the mid-90s, within the framework of the state program “Universities of Russia,” of the Russian scientific and educational network RUNNet (**), which was initially formed as a national network of universities and large scientific institutions. In the process of developing regional scientific and educational networks during the implementation of a number of federal and regional programs, as well as initiative projects, thousands of educational, scientific, and cultural institutions were connected to RUNNet. The created infrastructure became the telecommunication basis of a unified information educational environment and provided educational institutions with access to Russian and world scientific and educational resources.

The use of Internet technologies introduces new content into the educational process and contributes to improving the quality of education only if educational content is available online - Internet resources useful for teachers, students, graduate students, research and teaching staff, heads of universities and their structural divisions. Therefore, along with the development of telecommunications infrastructure, in state programs for informatization of education, much attention is paid to the analysis and systematization of scientific and educational Internet resources, the creation of effective navigation and resource search tools, and the development of new electronic educational resources.

Purposeful and systematic development of network information and educational resources, training in working with them began in the late 90s. A significant contribution to this work was made by the activities of the Centers for New Information Technologies (CNIT), Regional Information Centers (RCI), University Internet Centers (UCI), and Regional Centers of the Federation of Internet Education (RC FIO) created in dozens of leading Russian universities. Implemented projects to develop Internet-oriented information resources contributed to the popularization of the use of Internet technologies both in universities and in the general education system.

An important stage in the development of educational content on the Russian Internet was the creation of a system of federal educational portals, which included the Federal Portal "Russian Education" ( www. *****) and thematic portals (by areas of knowledge and areas of educational activity). These works were carried out in within the framework of the Federal Target Program "Development of a Unified Educational Information Environment" (FTP REOIS), and their result was the functioning of a number of educational portals, on which tens of thousands of educational resources for various purposes were collected and systematized for the first time.

One of the important projects implemented under the Federal Target Program for the Development of Education for the Years (FTSPRO) is the creation and development of the information system "Single Window for Access to Educational Resources" (hereinafter referred to as IS "Single Window" for brevity), available at http://window.edu.ru. This work has been ongoing since 2005 and has become a further development of the area of ​​activity for integrating resources associated with the system of educational portals.

The main idea and goal of the IS "Single Window" is to ensure uniform access to educational and teaching-methodological resources posted both on federal educational portals and on other portals and sites, including regional educational portals, websites of universities and their structural divisions, electronic libraries and collections, sites of scientific and educational projects, etc. The main components of the Single Window IS are an integral catalog of educational Internet resources, an electronic library of educational and educational materials and a news subsystem, which includes several news feeds on educational topics.

The integrated catalog contains descriptions of more than 35 thousand Internet resources, including sites of universities and their structural divisions, research institutes and centers, educational authorities, libraries and museums, sites of scientific and educational projects, magazines, online publications, and also individual Internet resources - electronic textbooks, educational and methodological complexes, testing systems, databases, reference books, etc. The electronic library of the IS "Single Window" contains more than 12 thousand full-text electronic versions of educational and methodological manuals, descriptions of laboratory workshops, problem books, methodological instructions for completing coursework and diploma projects and other educational and methodological publications. The bulk of the resources presented in the catalog and electronic library were prepared in Russian universities, and the topics of the resources cover all areas of higher professional education.

To familiarize education workers and students with educational resources on the Internet, within the framework of the Federal Center for Educational Education, the preparation, replication and distribution of a series of information and methodological publications to educational institutions has been organized, the task of which is to make the use of Internet technologies in the educational process and management of educational institutions more effective. This information and methodological manual has been developed to help teachers, students, graduate students and administrative and managerial staff of higher educational institutions. The purpose of the manual is to teach how to use the information and services provided by the Single Window IS and the Russian Education portal.

The proposed manual consists of three sections. The first two sections provide a consistent description of the structure and information content of the Single Window IS and the Russian Education portal, and discuss the features of working with them. The final section provides recommendations for finding resources and using them in the educational process.

After reading the manual, you will learn:

· how to use a catalog of Internet resources to find sites or individual educational, methodological, reference, and illustrative materials on a topic of interest;

· how to get acquainted with publications posted in the electronic library, express your opinion about what you read, offer your materials for publication;

· how to keep abreast of the main news of Russian education - at the federal level and in the regions;

· how to find the necessary administrative and regulatory documents of the Russian education system;

· how to promptly receive information about conferences, seminars, exhibitions, competitions and other events of interest to you and your university;

and much more.

The electronic version of this information and methodological manual is available on the Internet at http://window. *****/window/method/.

1. Information system "Single window of access to educational resources"

1.1. Information system structure

Information system "Single window of access to educational resources" ( http://window.edu.ru) was created to ensure effective navigation and search for educational, methodological, information and reference resources for all levels of general and professional education, organize the exchange of opinions on the content of resources, prompt coverage of news and events in the field of education.

The information and functional structure of the system includes several components: a catalog of Internet resources, an electronic library, a news subsystem, a glossary of educational terms, a feedback subsystem (forum, questions and answers), a methodological section, a section with information about the project, partners and resource providers, a subsystem statistics collection, user registration subsystem, search subsystem.

Rice. 1. The first page of the IS "Single Window" website: main menu, form for searching in the catalog and library, subject heading, latest news

Integral catalog contains descriptions (cards with metadata) of educational Internet resources, systematized by disciplines of professional and general education subjects, types of resources, levels of education and target audience. The catalog includes descriptions of both “external” resources posted on other portals and sites, and materials located in the electronic library of the Single Window Information System.

In the electronic library full-text electronic versions of educational and educational materials provided by federal and regional educational portals, higher educational institutions, their faculties and departments, educational and methodological centers, publishing houses, as well as individual teachers and authors are posted.

News subsystem includes several news feeds that highlight the progress of the National Project "Education", publish educational news in Russia and abroad, news from educational literature publishers, announcements of conferences, exhibitions and other events in the field of education.

Glossary of Education Terms contains terms most often used in the field of education: terms of education as a system and as a process, terms related to levels of education.

Feedback subsystem provides users with the opportunity to discuss a resource posted in the system (an Internet resource or a publication in an electronic library), write a review, ask a question and get an answer.

Methodical section created to provide assistance in working with the Single Window IS. This section contains instructions for working with the system, recommendations for finding resources and using them, aimed at various categories of users, as well as case studies of working with the system prepared by teachers and general education methodologists, and university professors.

Statistics collection subsystem allows you to obtain information about traffic to the site as a whole and its individual sections, collect statistics on hits to thematic sections of the catalog, statistics on viewing cards and downloading specific resources.

Registration subsystem makes it possible to register, create your user profile and work with the system in registered user mode, which provides a number of additional services, for example, subscribing to email newsletters.

1.2. Catalog of Internet resources

Catalog of educational Internet resources http://window. *****/window/catalog created for teachers, methodologists, schoolchildren, students, graduate students and university professors, heads of educational institutions, as well as everyone who seeks to use the Internet to obtain information on educational topics and find resources that will be useful in the educational process, educational, methodological and organizational activities . The purpose of the catalog is to provide this audience with convenient and quick access to educational information posted on the Internet based on analysis, classification and application of a unified approach to the description of Internet resources.

The catalog contains descriptions of both Internet resources located on other portals and sites ("external" resources), and resources located in the electronic library of the Single Window Information System ("internal" resources). The catalog includes not only descriptions of Internet resources cataloged directly by the editors of the Single Window IS and the Russian Education portal, but also descriptions of resources imported from other educational portals (based on the accepted model of preparation and exchange of metadata). That is why this catalog is called “integral”.

2.6. Mapping service. Laboratory of educational cards

Various geographical and thematic maps and atlases are traditionally one of the important forms of presenting educational and methodological materials for different levels of education. For geographical, environmental and economic areas of vocational education, various thematic maps are effective teaching aids that facilitate the acquisition of professional knowledge and skills, and for a number of specialties of higher professional education, such as geology, geography, environmental management and natural cadastre, regional economics and regional studies, technology territorial administration, etc.) the cartographic method is considered a mandatory subject of study and development as a basic methodological tool for solving territorial problems.

The interactive map service on the Russian Education portal (menu item "Maps") includes the following user blocks:

Laboratory of educational cards– generates electronic cartographic manuals and illustrative materials on higher education disciplines, including drawing own thematic information on a contour map and organizing on-line testing and self-testing of knowledge, obtaining reference data on the location and properties of geographical objects. The service supports interactive maps of the world and Russia and allows you to zoom, select the desired region or section of the map, change the set of base cartographic layers, apply your own icons (for various thematic groups) and captions to them, save and print the map, etc. In addition to contour maps in The laboratory presents thematic maps of the political and administrative structure, population, oil and gas industry, vegetation, time zones, etc.

Cartographic reference book "Universities of Russia"- visualizes the results of queries to the reference and information system of the field of higher professional education. The database contains information on almost 2,000 educational institutions and allows you to search by type of university and specialty, as well as obtain statistical data on their activities.

Interactive atlas of Russian education- models educational statistics data using thematic mapping methods. The database contains more than 80 indicators related to the development of preschool, general and vocational education in Russia. Cartographic materials can be used as a teaching aid in statistics and mathematical and statistical methods of analysis.

Geographical index (map search engine)– allows you to search and display on maps of the world or Russia the location of various objects (political and administrative territories, settlements, hydrographic objects) by their geographical name. The geographic index database contains approximately 6,000 objects. By pointing the cursor over an object and clicking the mouse, you can get help information about this object in a separate window.

2.7. Events: conferences, seminars, exhibitions

In the "Events" section you can find information about conferences, forums, seminars, trainings, summer and winter schools, exhibitions and other events in the life of the country's scientific and educational community. The portal's editors strive to cover not only events with all-Russian and international status, but also events organized in the regions of Russia by local educational authorities, higher educational institutions, advanced training and retraining institutions.

The information is stored in a database, where each event is described by the following set of attributes: name; annotation; dates (start/end), deadlines for submitting applications and abstracts; venue (country, region, organization); subject area (pedagogy, natural sciences, humanities, ICT, etc.); type (conference, seminar, exhibition, etc.); status (international, Russian, regional); address of the event information support website; an extended description that includes information about the goals and objectives, organizers, program, conditions of participation, etc. Files with additional information (information letter, application form, program, etc.) can be attached to the event description.

When working with the database, it is possible to search by all of the attributes listed above, as well as by context in the title, abstract and description of the event. The search results are displayed in the form of a table containing the name, dates and location, and deadline for submitting applications. You can sort by date or closing date for applications. You can search only for upcoming events, in the archive of past events, or throughout the entire database.

Rice. 12. Form for searching the "Events" database

A large volume of systematized educational resources and descriptions of Internet resources stored in the library and catalog of the Single Window IS and the Russian Education portal, a variety of services that make it easier for users to work with resources, provide the opportunity to use these systems in the educational process at all levels of education, in any educational institutions, in various forms of training, in various types of classes.

The key approaches to using the resources of the considered information systems are the same for teachers, graduate students, students and applicants: determine when, where and how the use of Internet resources can help achieve educational goals; analyze the quality of educational Internet resources; organize search, comparison and analysis of information obtained from the Internet.

The limited scope of this manual does not allow us to examine in detail all the capabilities of the Single Window IS, describe in detail various methodological techniques for use in the educational process and illustrate them with practical examples. Therefore, in order to improve the efficiency of users’ work with educational resources, a section “Methodological assistance” has been created in the Single Window IS ( http://window.edu.ru/window/method/), which provides the following background and methodological information:

· electronic version of this information and methodological manual;

· methodological developments on the use of IS "Single Window" resources in the educational process;

· instructions for working with the search engine and using the query language;

· examples of searching for resources in the catalog and library of the IS "Single Window";

· answers to frequently asked questions from users;

· information about programs for viewing files of manuals presented in the library and recommendations for their installation;

· other useful information.

In this manual we will limit ourselves to considering only some of the significant capabilities and features of using the Single Window IS.

The main task of both the teacher and the student when accessing the Single Window IS is to find the necessary information. Information can be searched in different ways: using a multi-level rubricator, using a search engine, or combining the above methods. Whatever method is chosen, it is necessary to determine the problem area of ​​the search. For example, it is recommended to start searching for materials for various types of classes in Computer Science by defining the subject area in the rubricator: vocational education/education in the field of engineering and technology/computer science and information technology. More than 3,000 resources will be found in this section. Next, to achieve the desired result, limit the search area and use filters by type of resource, audience and level of education. If the goal is to find specific educational material on a selected subject, then you need to correlate the presented types of materials with the type of classes and set the necessary filter in the type rubricator. The second possible option is to set the words in a search form: study guide, test assignments, lectures, tests, test work, magazine, etc. If the goal is to find more diverse or deeper information, then it is recommended to select the resource type “educational sites” and narrow the search area by filtering by subcategories of educational sites.

You can better understand the methodology for working with IS “Single Window” resources and their search algorithms, as well as master the techniques of constructing search queries by reading the methodological developments of teachers and instructors in the “Methodological Assistance” section.

It is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of working with the resources of two components of the system - the “Library” and the “Catalogue”. As noted in the previous sections of the manual, all library resources are stored on the server of this system, selected and checked by the editors, which guarantees their quality and constant availability. To work with library materials, the appropriate software for viewing files - Adobe Acrobat Reader, DjVu Plug-in, etc. must be installed on the user’s computer. Links to the necessary viewing programs are indicated in the library resource card.

The use of resources and capabilities of the Single Window IS and educational portals in the educational process should help improve the quality of education. Electronic educational resources, including Internet resources, together with traditional textbooks, play an increasingly important role in learning, and the level of education depends on the quality of these resources. The main feature of the IS library resources "Single Window" is that they were prepared in departments, educational laboratories and research centers of educational institutions and most of them have been successfully used in the educational process of the university for a long time. For practical use in the educational process in vocational education, the Single Window library presents the following types of materials:

Textbooks and teaching aids published by central or university publications that have a stamp or recommendation from the Educational Institution on the admissibility of use in the educational process;

Educational and methodological materials for practical classes and laboratory workshops;

Educational and methodological kits, including course syllabuses, lesson plans, sets of test materials, lists of recommended literature. These materials are especially useful when setting up new courses and for young teachers, as they provide an opportunity to remotely get acquainted with the experience of other departments and universities.

Monographs written by university teachers and used in the educational process, for example in special courses;

Selected articles and reviews on the main areas of professional education or related to the teaching methods of specific disciplines.

The "Catalog" section contains links to Internet resources. The editors of the "Single Window" carried out a selection of resources and, as sources, sought to use sustainable sites of educational institutions, scientific organizations, libraries, publishing houses, educational and cultural projects, etc. However, nevertheless, a situation is possible when the found catalog resource turns out to be unavailable or not as described. Using search services in the catalog of Internet resources allows you to find not only links to individual resources, but also to thematic websites of specialized departments, scientific and educational communities and university publications. Such thematic sites collect a large amount of materials on the selected subject area: work programs, lesson plans, bibliography, test tasks, methodological developments, conference materials and useful links.

For prompt communication with the editors of the Single Window IS, feedback is organized for users. Using this service, you can write to the editor about all the problems associated with the operation of the information system, broken links, non-opening files and incorrect descriptions, express your comments and suggestions, and also ask a question to the editor-in-chief.

Users of the Single Window IS can offer their educational and methodological materials for publication in the library or place in the catalog a link to an Internet resource that, in their opinion, is of interest to the field of education.

The most dynamic section of the system is the “news feeds”, in which the latest information from the world of education is published daily. By using the news subscription service, the user will have the opportunity to receive daily information about the latest news and events in their mailbox.

One of the main tasks of the Single Window IS is to integrate the resources of universities and universities, which are very interesting and useful, but are often difficult to find and accessible to teachers and students from other educational institutions. Thus, the Single Window IS not only solves the problem of preserving the educational and methodological potential of Russian universities, but also allows us to generalize the accumulated pedagogical experience. The development of the Single Window IS in terms of using opportunities involves not only the consumption of information by visitors to this system, but also very important information interaction with universities and universities, such as:

Replenishing the library with educational publications prepared by universities, departments, laboratories, scientific communities, individual teachers and authors;

Providing information about scientific and educational events (conferences, exhibitions, round tables, etc.) in all regions of Russia.

The use of ICT and new generation resources in vocational education will improve the visibility, quality and accessibility of training. Educational Internet resources of the system of federal educational portals and the Single Window IS can and should be used by teachers as information and methodological support for the educational process.

IS "Single Window" is a developing system, and all ideas, suggestions and comments aimed at making it even more effective and useful for teachers and students will provide invaluable assistance in the work of the editorial office.

Portal “single window of access to educational resources”

In 2005, a new project was launched - the portal “Single Window of Access to Educational Resources” (http://window.edu.ru/).

At the first stage, the main task of the project was to integrate the resources of federal educational portals by creating a catalog of resources and our own electronic library, combining full-text educational and educational publications available on the portals. At the second stage, the replenishment of the catalog of Internet resources and electronic library was carried out by collecting information and materials from regional educational portals, university portals, websites of various educational and research institutions, websites of scientific and educational projects, etc.

Thus, the portal confirmed its name, becoming an “access window” to educational resources throughout the Runet, solving the problems of effective navigation and search for educational, methodological, information and reference resources for all levels of general and professional education, organizing the exchange of opinions on the content of resources, prompt coverage news and events in the education sector.

The “Single Window for Access to Educational Resources” portal includes the following components:

catalog of Internet resources;

electronic library;

news subsystem;

feedback subsystem (forum, questions and answers);

methodological section;

section with information about the project, partners and resource providers;

statistics collection subsystem;

user registration subsystem;

search subsystem.

Currently, the portal is one of the most famous and popular projects on the educational Runet with very high traffic (more than 80 thousand visitors and more than 200 thousand views per day on school days). The information content of the portal is indexed in detail by leading Internet search engines (Google - more than 700 thousand, Yandex - more than 350 thousand, Rambler - more than 80 thousand pages).

RUSSIAN EDUCATIONAL PORTAL

The Russian general education portal (www.school.edu.ru) was created in 2002 and during its existence it has successfully developed both in terms of the services provided and in terms of information content.

The main components of the portal are:

A catalog of Internet resources containing annotated descriptions of educational Internet resources for preschool and general (secondary) education, additional education for children, advanced training for teachers and methodologists.

News section, including news from educational life in Russia and the world, announcements of events and activities, publications from the media. There is an archive of news publications from the beginning of the portal.

Section Documents of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, which publishes official materials related to the field of general education.

Section Education in the regions, which contains information about educational authorities, educational institutions, geography, culture and history of the region, links to educational Internet resources in the region.

Forums and consultations are interactive services designed to create a communication environment for all participants in the educational process. The portal forums are virtual discussion clubs and also serve to post announcements about upcoming events. Consultations are required to obtain additional information from educational experts.

Thematic collections are the portal's own resources, focused on meeting the educational needs of users and intended for use in practical pedagogical work. The collections include full texts of literary works and historical documents, illustrative material on history, painting, architecture, audio and video materials, as well as collections of dictations in the Russian language, experiments in physics and chemistry, and commentaries on legislation in education. A full-text search is carried out taking into account morphology (word forms of the Russian language).

Federal portal “Single window of access to educational resources”

The purpose of creating the information system Single Window for Access to Educational Resources (IS “Single Window”) is to provide free access to an integral catalog of educational Internet resources and to an electronic library of educational materials for general and vocational education.

The information system “Single window of access to educational resources” was created by order of the Federal Agency for Education in 2005-2008. and is the result of work performed under government contracts No. 985 of October 27, 2005, No. P82 of July 17, 2006, No. P252 of June 20, 2007, No. P433 of July 25, 2008 and No. P1847 of October 21, 2009 G.

The lead developer of the project is the Federal State Autonomous Institution State Research Institute of Information Technologies and Telecommunications (FSAU State Research Institute of Information Technologies and Telecommunications "Informika").

The Single Window IS unites freely accessible electronic resources for all levels of education in Russia into a single information space.

The electronic library is the largest repository of full-text versions of educational, educational, methodological and scientific materials with open access in the Russian segment of the Internet. The library contains more than 30,000 materials, the sources of which are more than three hundred Russian universities and other educational and scientific institutions. The basis for filling the library is made up of electronic versions of educational and methodological materials prepared at universities, peer-reviewed and recommended for use by faculty councils, educational and methodological commissions and other university structures that monitor educational and methodological activities.

The integrated catalog of educational Internet resources contains metadata of external resources presented in a standardized form, and also contains descriptions of full-text publications of the electronic library. The total volume of the catalog exceeds 56 thousand meta descriptions (of which about 25 thousand are external resources). An advanced search in the “Catalogue” is carried out by title, author, abstract, keywords with possible filtering by topic, subject, type of material, level of education and audience.

The “Favorites” section presents selections of the most informative and useful, in the opinion of the editors, Internet resources for general and professional education.

The “University Libraries” section contains collections of university library websites, electronic catalogs of university libraries and full-text electronic university libraries.

The IS news system “Single Window” provides several news feeds on educational topics.
