From May 15 to May 17, 2019 at the Pedagogical University
of Krakow (Poland), the 2nd coordination meeting of the partners of the project
“dComFra – Digital Competence Framework for Ukrainian Teachers and Other
Citizens” (No. 598236-EPP-1-2018-1-LT -EPPKA2-CBHE-SP). Measures related
to the project implementation and promotion were discussed.
The issues related to the results of the analysis of
existing digital competences (DCs) in the curricula and courses at Ukrainian
and European universities were considered, the overview of the existing DC
related training programs for teachers was presented, the Digital Competence
Structure for citizens and teachers was also presented used in EU countries.
NTU “KPI” team presented
operating plans, a strategy for sustainability and promotion of the project, as
well as a distribution plan. To this end, the following annual events are
envisaged: information days, specialized seminars, etc.
From April 9 to April 12, 2019, trainings were held at the Czech University of Life Sciences in accordance with the implementation plan of the project “Digital Competence Framework for Ukrainian Teachers and Other Citizens” (598236-EPP-1-2018-1-LT-EPPKA2-CBHE-SP). The teachers of the Department of Applied Mathematics and Informatics of DonNTU took part in the training: Professor, Head of the Department O.Dmitrieva and Associate Professors N.Kostyukova and N.Maslova.
During the trainings, the staff of Prague University have informed Ukrainian colleagues of strategies for improving digital literacy in the Czech Republic, have demonstrated the work of the university testing center, have told about the practices in teaching computer science and computer technology and about the digital skills strategy in the Czech Republic. The training participants visited the Human Behavior and Virtual Reality Research Labs, learn about innovative teaching methods used at the university, and the large-scale digital support for Moodle & Adobe Connect training.
Within the framework of
implementation of the international project Erasmus + “dComFra – Digital
Competence (Dig Comp) Framework for Ukrainian Teachers and Other
Citizens”, a joint publication of the scientific article “The concept
of information security in the iot system” was made, authors: A. Serkov,
V. Kravets, O. Kasilov, B. Lazurenko, (National Technical University
“Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute”, Kharkiv, Ukraine), A. Mickus,
(Vytautas Magnus University, Kaunas, Lithuania).
The subject
of the study is the processes of ensuring the security of information in
wireless control channels and communication of the Internet of Things (IoT).
The purpose is to develop the concept of broadband Internet access and to
implement key security competencies in the implementation of IoT projects. The
model is based on the reference model DigComp 2.0, which was created within the
system of digital competence of citizens. Moreover, the main area of
competence of this model is safety. The task is to ensure that the IoT system
is running smoothly and securely. Methods used: methods of analytical,
simulation and temporal position-impulse coding. The following results were
obtained. The concept of security in wireless control and communication systems
of IoT has been developed. It has been shown that wireless high-bandwidth
technology, which enables high volumes and speeds of data transmission, should
be used to obtain high noise immunity to control and communication channels and
to protect information from interception. The possibility of seamless, one-band
operation for both traditional narrowband communication systems and systems
that use broadband signals is justified. A technical solution is proposed for
the construction of a broadband transceiver antenna system. Conclusions. The
use of high bandwidth channels allows for an almost unlimited increase in the
number of IoT control channels and communications. Pre-allocation between
channels of orthogonal codes implements the process of control and
communication without interception of information and interference. Moreover,
the use of the temporal position-impulse coding method prevents inter-character
distortions of coding short-pulses. This also reduces the level of distortion
of information signals caused by its multipath propagation, which guarantees
the security of information in the IoT system.
NTU “KPI” scientists participated in the international project Erasmus + “dComFra – Digital Competence (Dig Comp) Framework for Ukrainian Teachers and Other Citizens”. Within the framework of the project, teachers of the Department of Information Systems attended trainings that were held for Ukrainian universities for 3 months. They were held at universities in Lithuania, Poland and the Czech Republic. The sessions were dedicated to training teachers and improving their skills in digital literacy, given the rapid development of information technology.

Systems of Information Chair Anna Zavolodko and graduate student of the Chair Julia Breslawiec participated in a training course held by the University of Vitautas the Great (Kaunas, Lithuania). It addressed many aspects related to digital skills: the development of a training center; development of a strategy to increase the number of CodeWeek events in Ukraine; developing a digital skills initiative plan in Ukraine; learning digital skills of entrants and more.
The second training was held at the Pedagogical University of Krakow and the Krakow Examination Center (Poland) March 18-21, 2019. It was attended by: Senior Lecturer of the Information Systems Department of the KPI, Maxim Tolkachov, Head of the Cisco Instructors Training Center at NTU “KPI”, and Senior Lecturer KhPI, Head of Cisco Academic Support Center NTU “KhPI” Natalia Jenyuk. During the training in Poland, the issues of digital competences of children, teenagers and adults, the certification system of computer knowledge, education in the profession of computer science at the level of secondary schools and others were discussed.
The third, final training was held on April 8-11, 2019 at the Czech Agricultural University of Prague. The senior lecturers of the Information Systems Department Maxim Okhrimenko, Maxim Tolkachev and Natalia Dzeniuk took part in it.
On April, 23, at the Department of Systems Engineering of the Kharkiv National
University of Radio Electronics, a round table was held in which the speakers
who passed the training from the Erasmus + project “Digital competence
framework for Ukrainian teachers and other citizens” took part. The speakers
presented the results of the training, held from 08 to April 11 at the Prague
University of Life Sciences CULS (Czech Republic). As a part of the event, the
staff of the Department of System Engineering and the staff of the departments
of the Faculty of Computer Science presented the following relevant topics for
the project:
experience of the CULS testing center;
practices in teaching ICT skills;
digital skills strategy in the Czech Republic;
teaching ICT skills for foreign students;
visiting laboratories: human behavioural research & VR;
innovative ways of learning;
large-scale digital training support – Moodle & Adobe Connect.
The main outcomes of the Round
Table are:
