Problems of Improving Digital Technologies in the Higher Education Institutions in Russia and Uzbekistan for Disabled People

The paper examines the use of digital technologies in higher education institutions in the Commonwealth of Independent States. It focuses on the Russian Federation and the Republic of Uzbekistan and their application for disabled individuals. The authors formulated key problems and made proposals to resolve them during the research process. Digital technologies provide a real chance for sedentary, blind, visually impaired and students with respiratory diseases, as well as other categories of disabled people in different regions of the CIS with different sociocultural dynamics to obtain higher education and subsequent work. Overcoming drawbacks can significantly increase the effectiveness of digital technologies. Individual training programs and assignments with the obligatory use of audiovisual aids are among the main methods.
