Abstract
The article examines the educational and digital environment of U.S. universities as a complex and multifaceted system that integrates modern digital technologies, infrastructure, and innovative approaches to education. The primary components of this environment include digital infrastructure, Learning Management Systems, Massive Open Online Courses, as well as tools such as Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality. These technologies enable personalized learning, enhance student-faculty interaction, and simplify access to educational resources regardless of geographical location. The analysis of U.S. universities’ practices highlights their leadership in digitalizing the educational process, providing valuable insights for adapting these practices to other educational systems, including Ukraine. However, digitalization comes with challenges such as the digital divide among students from various socio-economic backgrounds, ethical issues in data usage, and cybersecurity concerns. The article emphasizes the importance of developing digital competencies among students and educators. For instance, the integration of digital literacy courses into university curricula prepares graduates for the demands of the modern digital economy. The potential of data analytics to monitor student progress and design personalized educational strategies is also explored. The findings suggest that the educational digital environment of U.S. universities has the potential to serve as a model for global educational transformation. Future research in this area should focus on adapting successful practices to diverse cultural contexts, exploring the long-term implications of digitalization, and assessing its broader impact on education and society.
