Introduction
Today, there is a need to train specialists who are focused on the creative
transformation of reality, who can quickly solve the tasks set (Dobudko et al., 2019). Design
is one of the most effective tools in the formation of a competent, independent specialist.
Internet projects that can make a real contribution to the development of specific
areas of life are becoming increasingly relevant. The organization of Internet design
contributes to the solution of various professional tasks (Yarygin et al., 2019a).
Purpose of the article: analysis of the process of Internet design in the modern
educational environment. The organizers have the opportunity not only to get a ready-made
project for their company, but also to choose the best, in their opinion, students who will be
able to develop the company in the future (Ponachugin & Lapygin, 2019). Students also get
the opportunity of real employment in a company that occupies a leading position (Vaganova
et al., 2020a).
The Internet is a platform that allows students to implement socially and
professionally relevant ideas (Yarygin et al., 2019b). The Internet project is a tool for self-
development and self-realization of the student, the approval of his active life position, since
the Internet becomes for him not only an entertainment and information field, but also a
source of professional knowledge.

Various events are organized for the development of Internet projects, where
professionals from various fields meet (Rojas-Bahamón, Aguilar-Cruz & Arbeláez-Campillo,
2020). Among such events, where Internet projects are developed, hackathons are noted
(Vaganova et al., 2020b). Among the most active participants, representatives of various
companies choose those who will be able to work in their organization in the future.
Participants of technological competitions under the guidance of experienced
specialists have the opportunity to bring a new product to the market. The hackathon is held
in a short time, and the number of participants can reach several dozen. During this period,
there are many innovative solutions for the development of companies.
Independent experts, such as marketers, business analysts, developers, and others,
take part in hackathons.
The implementation of an Internet project in the context of a hackathon allows
students to gently enter the professional sphere of activity, since one of the main tasks when
announcing the results is to prevent the emergence of feelings of resentment among the
participants.
Each of the teams, despite having only one or two winners, receives its recognition,
since participation in the development of the project is an achievement that becomes the
beginning of serious professional activity.
A prize fund is provided for the most relevant Internet projects. If the hackathon takes
place in several stages, the prize fund for supporting further developments increases. The
venue for the hackathon is chosen so that participants have round-the-clock access to it. The
rooms are equipped with the appropriate equipment: tables, meeting rooms, sofas and
ottomans.
As a rule, the creative process of discussing a question takes quite a long time. The
task of the organizers is to provide the most comfortable conditions for the participants to
achieve the best results.
Internet design in the modern educational environment is developing rapidly.
Continuous monitoring is required to support this development.
Internet design allows you to improve the process of training students, expand the
opportunities for the formation of professional competencies, the development of
independence and creative position.

1.
Theoretical framework
An Internet project is understood as a set of hypertext documents that determine the
direction of creating an information structure.
Working on an Internet project allows students to take the initiative, independently
solve emerging issues, update their research position, and form problem-based and creative
thinking in the process of completing tasks (Kiseleva et al., 2019). Scientists believe that
project activities are a significant component of the education system (Kidina, 2020). Active
planning, forecasting, analysis and synthesis are carried out in project activities.
The Internet project is limited to one specific topic. It is based on a problem, which,
in turn, reflects several goals. In addition, the Internet project should have its target audience.
The content of the project should be systematized.
An Internet project is not just an Internet resource that is updated with various
information. It should have an information storage system (Demidov & Tretyakov, 2016a).
The project should be structured in a simple and accessible way, and have the potential for
high-quality development (Demidov & Tretyakov, 2016b).
An Internet resource that meets these requirements is an Internet project.
The subjects of Internet design are: project participants (students of higher and
secondary vocational educational institutions) (Aniskin et al., 2020); organizers, including
teachers of vocational educational institutions, trainers, forum hosts, and others; partners
(interested in the development of a project, taking part in its development, (Arbeláez-
Campillo et al, 2020). Partners can be customers, sponsors, consultants, various specialists
in a particular field) (Pichugina & Bondarchuk, 2019); target audience (people targeted by
the Internet project) (Efremenko et al., 2020).
Interaction of Internet design subjects is carried out based on the specific principles
reflected in the table.
Compliance with these principles contributes to the creation of a high-quality viable
project that can be implemented in the activities of a particular company (Shcerbakova &
Shcerbakova, 2019).
In the course of the project, students form the ability to constantly improve
themselves, a conscious need to update their professional knowledge (Shcerbakova &
Shcerbakova, 2019).

Methodology
Students of professional educational institutions took part in the study.
The methods of mathematical statistics were used to process the results of an
empirical study.
The survey "Assessment of the impact of Internet projects on professional self-
development" was conducted among students of professional educational institutions.
Processing of the results allowed us to identify the professional qualities that, in the opinion
of students, form Internet projects.
Statistical processing of the survey results was carried out with the translation of
responses into an electronic format based on the encoding and organization of the source
data in a spreadsheet. The results were revealed through the interpretation of descriptive
statistics and graphs. After the survey, the documents were collected and counted, each was
assigned a number. Data processing was carried out for several days.
The dynamics of participation of students of professional educational institutions in
Internet design over three years was revealed.

Working on projects allows students to master various competencies. Students for
the implementation of future professional activities form the skills of goal-setting, planning,
implementation of professional reflection to eliminate errors and achieve appropriate results.
During the design process, students develop organizational and communication skills. When
working on a project, it is important to be able to negotiate and resolve conflicts to achieve
common goals. Each project allows students to develop the ability to collaborate and work
in a team.
The implementation of Internet projects was carried out both in person in the format
of interactive lectures, seminars, trainings and consultations, and remotely, through chats,
webinars, video conferences. Students have a special Internet space for project
implementation, where they communicate and independently solve emerging issues. For
example, creative workshops.
The curator can interact with students both in person and remotely. He advises both
individual groups and several project groups at once. At each stage of Internet design,
different actors are connected. This can be done by both partners and the target audience.
Internet design is carried out in several stages, as shown in the table (2).

Stage
Content
Preparatory
Curators determine the goals of Internet projects, organize the space and forms of work,
establish the forms of interaction between the subjects of Internet design, the time for
completing each stage of the project
Introductory
There is a discussion of the project between the curators and authors of Internet projects,
students ask questions of interest regarding its development, the curator motivates the
participants, helps to choose a relevant topic
Active
Students form micro-groups to complete projects. Students are discussing the idea of an
Internet project. Flipcharts are used to reflect basic notes. The social significance of the
project is determined (what task it solves, its goal, main audience, significance for the
audience, expected results); personal significance (for each participant and the entire team
as a whole); students distribute among themselves responsible roles and tasks that need
to be solved. Students formulate the name of the project; create its logo, formulate a brief
description of the project, what exactly will the target audience receive when using the
future product. At this stage, students take an active part in face-to-face and distance
consultations with curators. Students post materials on the Internet. The obtained
intermediate results are checked against the assigned tasks, and if they do not correspond,
the process is corrected.
Efficient-
reflective
The authors present their project, make a presentation of the results. A decision is made
on the further feasibility of developing the project.

The time allowed for completing the tasks of each stage is set by the project manager.
Internet projects implemented in the framework of hackathons are conducted both in
real time during face-to-face meetings and online. For conducting an online event, they are
used.
The number of participants in Internet design in the modern educational environment
is growing. We have identified the dynamics of participation of students of higher
educational institutions and secondary vocational educational institutions in Internet design
over three years.
The study took into account data obtained in several professional educational
institutions.
Fig. 1. Dynamics of participation of students of secondary vocational educational
institutions in Internet design (2018-2020) (own authorship)
It is worth noting that with the development of the organization's activities,
WorldSkills and the desire of Russian professional educational institutions to meet
international standards have led to an increase in the quality of education by including
students in various projects implemented within the framework of the demonstration exam,
including Internet projects.

Training for the student has become more practice-oriented. Project participants were
able to engage in activities related to real professional activities and were able to assess the
scope of future professional activities.
As you can see, the number of participants in the Internet design of secondary
vocational educational institutions is growing.
Fig. 2. Dynamics of participation of students of higher educational institutions in Internet
design (2018-2020) (own authorship).
Initially, the number of participants in Internet design from higher schools was
slightly higher than from secondary vocational educational institutions, since higher school
students are more interested in improving their competitiveness and are more conscious of
professional self-development.
By 2020, the interest of students in Internet design has increased dramatically,
although the consultation process was carried out more remotely due to the epidemiological
situation.
We surveyed the participants of the Internet design, the development of which
opportunities, in their opinion, contribute to the participation in the Internet project. The
results are shown in the figure.

Fig. 3. Results of the survey " Assessment of the impact of Internet projects on professional
self-development» (own authorship)
The survey was conducted among students of professional educational institutions.
The results are presented in the categories "secondary vocational education institution" and
"higher educational institution".
Students note the positive impact of Internet projects on professional self-
development and self-improvement. They are ready to participate to expand and deepen their
professional knowledge. Most of the participants note that the organizers and partners of
the projects show an increased interest in their employment, which is an additional
motivation for students.
The results of students of secondary vocational educational institutions and the
results of students of higher educational institutions are as close as possible to each other.
Students note the positive aspects of working with Internet projects.
Conclusions
The high dynamism of technological progress has led to the need to introduce
innovative solutions in the educational environment. Internet design is one of the most
effective tools in this process.

The role of Internet design in the modern educational environment is gradually
increasing. The Internet is a platform for developing projects that can make a significant
contribution to the life of society. Participation in an Internet project provides a student with
the opportunity for promising employment, since the organizers of Internet project
competitions can be representatives of various companies that need creative and
independent specialists who can bring the organization to a new qualitative level.
Internet design is carried out in various formats, including hackathons. Hackathons
bring together experts from various fields. Students communicate and learn from experience,
developing the ability to communicate effectively and solve professional problems on time to
achieve joint goals.
According to the study, the number of participants in Internet projects is increasing,
and the popularity of such contests is increasing. Students show a great interest in project
activities, noting that this allows them to develop professional competencies and increase
their competitiveness in the labor market.
