End-to-End System of Engaging Students in Project Activities as a Tool to Ensure Education Quality

The paper presents the case of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University for organizing the endto- end system of engaging students in project activities within higher education programmes. The project unit of such a programme consists of two parts (obligatory and variable) and combines students’ self-studying theory online, practical tutorial instruction classes, as well as a considerable amount of independent work in project teams with external experts’ participation. The digital tool for organizing, supporting, and monitoring project activities are the LMS Moodle-based portals. The authors describe the principles of organizing the system, its structure, project cycle stages, approaches to assessing students’ results and the quality of project work organization.
