Abstract
There are state national and local digital services that focus on administrative management of the educational process and recording personal achievements (electronic diaries) or individual aspects of scientific Olympiad activities. The architecture of solutions of none of the platforms provides for a comprehensiveness that would combine academic performance, extracurricular achievements and personalized analytics. A new digital product is needed that combines the advantages of state systems (data centralization) and niche services (flexibility, focus on schoolchildren), providing end-to-end monitoring of the educational track.
Purpose – to compare the functionality of existing digital solutions in terms of their applicability to support scientific Olympiad activities and to propose key requirements for an effective architecture of a specialized platform.
Methodology: systematization and analysis, a comparison method to identify the strengths and weaknesses of digital platforms.
Results. Key functional requirements for the architecture of solutions for supporting the Olympiad process are formulated: 1) a module for accounting and analytics of achievements with recording, systematization and visualization of results; 2) developed calendar and event functionality; 3) two-way data exchange; 4) multifunctional communication; 5) a personalized recommendation module based on big data analysis, identifying weak topics and offering an optimal strategy for participation in scientific Olympiads, built on the basis of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies.
Practical implications. The main features of the architecture of the digital platform of the Olympiad process can be used for integration into the online diary of the national information system, the State Services portal.
