Abstract
The relevance of the study is due to the need to improve the efficiency of educational processes through the use of modern information and communication technologies (ICT). The purpose of the study was to present ICT in the management of the learning process through the experience of developing and implementing electronic journals. The study was conducted using a mixed methodology, which included an analysis of existing learning management systems, a survey of users (teachers, students, parents), testing of the prototype of the developed system, and statistical processing of the collected data to assess its effectiveness. The implementation of the platform automates routine tasks, such as entering grades and generating reports, reducing time and resources. A comparison of electronic journals and traditional paper journals showed that electronic systems significantly reduce the time required to complete administrative tasks: entering grades and generating reports takes much less time when using interactive communication technologies, which reduces the administrative burden and allows more time to focus on the learning process. The results of the study showed high user satisfaction: teachers, administrators, students, and parents noted the convenience of the interface and the availability of real-time information, which contributes to effective monitoring of academic performance, attendance, and report generation. The results obtained can be used in professional higher education institutions to automate the recording of grades and attendance and provide students with access to educational materials, which will increase the efficiency of the educational process management and create the basis for the future development of electronic learning management systems, which can be an important step in the digitalisation of education in general
