RELOCATION AS A FORM OF ORGANISING THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS AT UKRAINIAN UNIVERSITIES WHICH SUFFERED AS A RESULT OF WAR ACTIVITIES: THE EXPERIENCES OF THE KHERSON NATIONAL UNIVERSITY AND THE VASYL STEFANYK PRECARPATHIAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents a theoretical and applied approach to the organisational, legal and man-agerial mechanisms through which the process of relocation of Ukrainian universities under the conditions of martial law in Ukraine was carried out, referring to the examples of the relocated Kherson National University and the Vasyl Stefanyk National Precarpathian Kherson University serving as a relocation base. It also takes a closer look at the manner of organising the educational process at these universities in the time of war. The authors of the paper indicate the following areas that were of priority importance for the Kherson National University in the time of war: safety of all participants in the educa-tional process; organisation of a high-quality educational process in the prevailing circum-stances; organisation of management taking into account the relocation processes; im-provement of digital infrastructure; organising the operation of the volunteer and psycho-logical support centre at the university; strengthening of the international cooperation at all possible levels; scientific development; image-building activities, communication with central and local authorities, organisation of the recruitment campaign. The main tools by means of which the digitisation of the educational process at Kherson National University is being carried out include the remote learning systems, in particular the “KSU online”, the official website and the websites of the organisational units, personal data, draft docu-ments, software and other digital resources of higher education institutions. It is indicated that the positive experiences related to the organisation of the educational process in the time of war by the Vasyl Stefanyk National Precarpathian Kherson University include: 1) the successful relocation of the Kherson National University onto the material and tech-nical base of the Precarpathian Kherson University; 2) preservation of the integrity of the contingent of students, research, teaching and administrative staff of the university; 3) maintaining the regularity of the educational process in the time of war; 4) ensuring safe conditions for the educational process; 6) keeping the high quality of educational services under martial law; 7) intensifying the digitisation processes of educational services at the university. The emphasis was put on the importance of combining asynchronous and synchronous learning formats to maintain the quality of the educational process under the conditions of war in Ukraine, especially in the first stages of the full-scale invasion. It is being stressed that the problems and challenges resulting from war, as described here-in, were overcome by both universities so they were able to fulfil the tasks placed upon them.
