Softline helped RGPPU to improve the technopark and educational environment

2023: Technopark Upgrade

The Russian State Vocational Pedagogical University (RGPPU) modernized the technopark and equipped the class for a demo exam with the support of Softline, which announced this on May 5, 2023. Also, the provider of solutions and services in the field of digital transformation and information security helped equip the educational space with equipment for inclusive learning.

Since 2021, an innovative educational space has been organized at the Russian State Pedagogical University. The university decided to strengthen the existing technology park and expand its capabilities in a number of disciplines. Subject audiences in chemistry and biology were additionally equipped with specialized laboratory equipment (laboratory installations, dishes, reagents, visual aids), and in physics - robotic equipment and teaching and demonstration tools (they allow you to experimentally show key physical phenomena).

In addition, Softline helped create two mobile classrooms at the Russian State Pedagogical University, which are computer audiences with software for in-depth education in natural science disciplines.

As part of the organization of a high-tech educational environment, an area for conducting a demonstration exam was equipped at the Russian State Pedagogical University, which allows testing knowledge with the "hidden" presence of a reviewer. For this purpose, a Gesell mirror and equipment for online broadcast of tests are installed. In addition to commissioning the equipment, Softline specialists conducted initial briefing and training on working with the demo exam.

Also, with the support of Softline, the university equipped the audience with inclusive equipment that makes the educational process more comfortable for students with hearing, vision and musculoskeletal disorders. At the same time, equipment was introduced to ensure navigation inside the university.

Thanks to these steps, the RSPU will be able to more effectively train future teachers who will be comprehensively prepared for the upcoming work in a modern educational environment saturated with technological innovations.

Softline specialists regularly implement such projects and show a high level of immersion. Technoparks are already functioning in 33 pedagogical universities, and Softline equipped many of them, - said Mikhail Kuznetsov, head of the department information technology Russian state at the vocational and pedagogical university.

Throughout Russia, active equipment of technical creativity centers continues, schools are being re-equipped, quantoriums and children's technology parks are opening. It is extremely important for pedagogical universities to keep up with the times and train competent personnel who not only know how to work in a high-tech educational environment, but also have all the necessary skills to work in a team on projects of various complexity. Softline monitors the development of universities with great attention in accordance with the challenges of time and is always ready to help universities in this process, "said Inna Ogareva, manager of the department for work with state and educational organizations in Softline.

2022: Supply of training and laboratory equipment

On March 29, 2022, Softline announced the supply of educational and laboratory equipment and devices for technoparks of universal pedagogical competencies at two universities in Yekaterinburg - the Russian State Vocational and Pedagogical University (RSPU) and the Ural State Pedagogical University (UrGPU). At the RGPPU, the provider's specialists also commissioned the equipment. Thanks to the work carried out by the Softline team, an innovative educational space was organized in these pedagogical universities. In technology parks, future teachers are already undergoing training, gaining experience in the implementation of interdisciplinary and meta-subject projects in natural science disciplines, conducting research work and much more. The opening of technoparks is designed to solve the issue of the formation of pedagogical personnel for subsequent work and project activities in centers of additional education, quantoriums, centers of gifted children. In addition, technology parks will allow professional development for already working teachers. To quickly adapt to working with installed devices, Softline organized training for methodologists and teachers of technology parks.

Technoparks of universal pedagogical competencies are created within the framework of the project "Teacher of the Future Generation of Russia" of the national project "Education" with the support of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation. Technology parks are already functioning in all 33 pedagogical universities of the country as of March 2022, 7 of them were equipped with equipment and specialized training sets by the Softlinei team. Thus, teachers will become platforms for the development of pedagogical innovations in the general education system and will be focused on building individual educational trajectories and project activities of students, the introduction of information and communication technologies, the formation of innovative educational systems.

The Softline team supplied mandatory and additional equipment from various manufacturers to the technoparks of universal pedagogical competencies of the Russian State Pedagogical University and Ural State Pedagogical University. Among them are Phywe, DJI Robomaster, Lexsolar, etc. The provider's specialists helped to select all devices and training kits in accordance with the methodological recommendations of the Ministry of Education. As a result, equipment was installed and launched in technology parks for digital laboratories in physics, chemistry, biology, genetics, as well as for project activities in teaching mathematics, computer science, programming, robotics, prototyping. The scope of supply for this project includes:
