20 Pedagogical Sciences Использование Облачных 20 PEDAGOGICAL SCIENCES УДК 378.14:004 ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИЕ ОБЛАЧНЫХ ТЕХНОЛОГИЙ ПРИ ИЗУЧЕНИИ ИНФОРМАТИЧЕСКИХ ДИСЦИПЛИН СТУДЕНТАМИ ВЫСШИХ УЧЕБНЫХ ЗАВЕДЕНИЙ яриков В.Г. ФГБОУ ВО «Волгоградский государственный социально-педагогический университет», Волгоград, e-mail: [email protected] В современных условиях массового внедрения в образовательный процесс современных информаци- онных технологий, в частности рассматриваемых нами облачных технологий для студентов самых разных направлений обучения, перед педагогами встает ряд актуальных задач. Одной из важных на современный момент, является грамотное определение возможностей различных информационных технологий при реали- зации учебной и проектной деятельности студентов средствами облачных технологий в процессе изучения информатических дисциплин. Базовой образовательной технологией в современной высшей школе является технология проектирования. Данная технология нацелена на формирование академических и жизненных компетенций студентов, которые позволят им успешно действовать в профессиональной деятельности, про- дуктивно общаться в различных коллективах. Метод проектов, применяемый совместно с возможностями облачных технологий, создает условия, которые обеспечивают взаимодействие разных видов активности всех участников образовательного процесса. Статья посвящена вопросу организации образовательной дея- тельности в высших учебных заведениях в процессе изучения информатических дисциплин с применени- ем средств отдельных облачных технологий. Произведен краткий обзор сетевых облачных хранилищ как элемента облачных технологий и сравнительный анализ наиболее используемых из них. Автор предлагает различные варианты работы обучающихся выбранными сервисами. Ключевые слова: облачные технологии, информационные технологии, сервисы, информатические дисциплины USE OF CLOUD TECHNOLOGIES IN STUDYING INFORMATIC DISCIPLINES BY STUDENTS OF HIGHER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS Yarikov V.G. Volgograd State Social and Pedagogical University, Volgograd, e-mail: [email protected] In modern conditions of the mass introduction of modern information technologies into the educational process, in particular, the cloud technologies we are considering for students of various educational fields, teachers face a number of strategic and tactical tasks. One of the most important is the determination of the capabilities of various information technologies in the implementation of educational and design activities of students by means of cloud technologies in the process of studying informatics. The basic educational technology is design technology. This technology is aimed in its didactic essence to the formation of the academic and life competencies of students, which will allow them to act effectively in their professional activities, to communicate productively in various teams. The project method used in conjunction with the capabilities of cloud technology creates the conditions for the diverse integration of different types of activity of all educational subjects. The article is devoted to the organization of educational activities in higher educational institutions in the process of studying informatics disciplines using individual cloud technologies. A brief overview of network cloud storages as an element of cloud technologies and a comparative analysis of the most used of them are made. The author offers various options for students studying the selected services.

IoT has contributed significantly to numerous application areas. The stormy expansion of smart devices and their credence for data transfer using wireless mechanics boosts their susceptibility to cyber-attacks. Consequently, the rate of cybercrime is increasing day by day. Hence, the study of IoT security threats and possible corrective measures can benefit the researchers to identify appropriate solutions to deal with various challenges in cybercrime investigation. IoT forensics plays a vital role in cybercrime investigations. This review paper presents an overview of the IoT framework consisting of IoT architecture, protocols, and technologies. Various security issues at each layer and corrective measures are also discussed in detail. This paper also presents the role of IoT forensics in cybercrime investigation in various domains like smart homes, smart cities, automated vehicles, healthcare, etc. Along with, the role of advanced technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Cloud computing, Edge computing, Fog computing, and Blockchain technology in cybercrime investigation are also discussed.
