Multimedia Projects as a Form of Work with Students in an Educational-Communicative Environment

Introduction. The article considers multimedia projects as one of the forms of work with students in the educational-communicative environment. This form implies the use of digital communicative culture and media literacy in communication between students and teachers, as well as in the resolution of educational and training tasks. The analysis of this issue is necessary in the context of multimedia pedagogy, formation of intelligence, and personality of modern youth.

Objective. Identify the peculiarities of using multimedia projects as a form of work with students in an educational-communicative environment.

Materials and methods. The study used the survey and comparative method, as an well as interdisciplinary and synergetic approach. The questionnaire survey of university students, conducted with the use of the author's questionnaire, allowed us to identify the peculiarities of preparation and use of multimedia projects in the educational-communicative environment, by comparing the specifics of information perception of Russian and foreign students, their critical attitude to the reliability of information.

Results. In the course of the study, data on the use of multimedia projects by students were obtained. The study involved 100 university students, including 75 Russian and 25 foreign students. It was found that most students used information in preparing their projects, relying on scientific and nonscientific websites, national and foreign content. Russian students used Russian websites and then data from foreign universities. Knowledge of foreign languages became the basis for choosing additional sources of information. The insufficient preparation of the students for the new conditions of the educational process was the reason for their disorientation in processing and categorizing information. The use and discussion of multimedia projects during group classes increased content critique and motivation to master digital literacy.

Discussion. Multimedia projects in the 21st century have become a new and successful form of working with students in an educational and communicative environment. They can be realized by both teachers and students, but the teacher has an integrative role aimed at coordinating the stages of creation and realization of multimedia projects. The lack of critical thinking by students of the information received from the Internet is related to media literacy, use of unscientific and foreign sites. In today's world, the role of multimedia pedagogy at all levels of the educational process is increasing. The creation and use of a safe digital educational environment is the most important factor in the development of universities and the state.
