Abstract

The article examines the experience of successful implementation and peculiarities of using problem / project training technologies for students of technical and IT specialties within the course “Website Content Management”. In the course of the course, the project is implemented – a fullfledged functional web site, which helps to master the educational material of the discipline, the formation of general and subject (professional) competences, obtaining the planned program results of training provided by educational programs of specialties, as well as the acquisition of practical skills, support and development of a viable project that is already a professional achievement.
