Formation of Network Communities in the Sphere of Higher Education under Globalization Conditions
The article analyzes a relatively new trend in the formation of networked communities in the sphere of foreign higher education in the context of globalization. Three groups of network communities are identified. Professional learning networks -are unique systems of interaction, consisting of people, spaces and tools that support the training and professional growth of teachers. Educational network communities - are self-organizing communities on a platform with open educational resources. Partner network communities - are network communities that are developing on the digital platform specially created for this purpose by joint efforts of independent universities. A hypothesis on the dispersion of higher education and the positioning of network communities by agents of change has been put forward.
