Abstract
Needs of digital transformation requires specific flexibility from modern universities to ensure the society demands implementation through innovative teaching and IC-technologies. Modern universities create a digital learning environment to support studying activities. This research presents an experts’ estimate of the current condition and perspectives of universities’ digital studying environments in Ukraine. We verified the theoretical model structure of the university digital studying environments by means of the empirical data factor analysis. We studied the components of the existing learning environment and enabling environment and compared them to the results of our previous research. We estimated the survey reliability and analyzed the influence of the digital learning environment formation on the respondents’ digital competence. We proved the digital learning environment theoretical model was correct. We proved that visions of students and teachers correspond to the key trends accelerating higher education technology adoption. We assume the digital learning environment development benefits overcoming significant challenges impeding higher education technology adoption and increases the level of digital competence. We assume these tendencies to have an impact on the students’ and teachers’ growing competitiveness.
