Abstract:
The present article aims at examining the promising capabilities
of new generation mobile networks for the implementation of first-class online
education based on advanced immersive technologies. The study describes the
main functional drivers of the modern end-to-end 5G architecture and proposes
several options for its application in today’s socio-economic life. In order to
investigate public opinion toward 21st-century education and identify the
prioritized requests for university training among potential students, a survey of
the target audience in the business administration segment was conducted. It
involved 100 MBA students of the Graduate School of Business of Kazan
Federal University (Russia) and 200 business workers. After reviewing the
survey outcomes, it was concluded that the main competitive advantages of an
educational course are its pace, convenience, and effectiveness in goal
achievement. The current work presents the analysis of promising educational
opportunities of 5G for creators of study materials and students, such as the
extensive use of AR, VR, and robotics; creation and implementation of new
educational services that support multimodal interaction and are rich in
multimedia content. Educational opportunities of 5G also include unhindered
remote interaction between learners; extensive use of AI applications during
training; provision of high-quality and real-time mobile education; and
implementation of personalized training systems.
