Google cloud services as a way to improve the learning and teaching processes at the university

The article is devoted to the implementation of a cloud-based learning system as a powerful strategy for training future specialists in higher education institutions. The use of cloud technologies in the management of independent work at university courses is important for providing students with the volume of relevant educational materials and various types of activities for professional training. Theoretical and empirical research methods were used to select appropriate services and tools for organizing independent work of students at the university. Google Workspace was chosen to improve the quality of training of future specialists in higher education. This article presents the results of a project on the use of Google Classroom in the management of independent work of students while studying university courses. The main focus of the first stage of the project was on testing pilot versions of courses in order to develop requirements and recommendations for the inclusion of a general model of blended learning in university courses. Particular attention is paid to the developed model of the university course based on the curriculum with the necessary components of blended learning in the virtual environment of Google Workspace. Cloud higher education is considered as a promising tool for the development of university courses with the need for further research and implementation.
