Abstract. The article is devoted to the theoretical consideration of the phenomenon of smart technologies in modern education from the perspective of the development of universal and professional competencies. The process of teaching students involves turning to innovation, since the use of new technologies significantly expands the boundaries of teaching, and obtaining knowledge, and applying existing skills in practice. The inclusion of such innovations as smart technologies in the educational space of a modern University leads to a valuable transition to versatile learning. Students immersion in the sphere of new educational technologies actualizes previously hidden creative and intellectual resources, motivates research activities, and increases the level of cognitive interest. A conceptual model with an adaptive online educational system based on SMART technologies can be used in two possible ways. The first, as an additional tool for modifying the traditional learning process by optimizing repetitive elements that can be automated. Second, to modernize the current learning process by introducing new teaching methods, such as e-learning, m-learning, blended learning, and others. As a result, system promotes shift of teacher-centric approach to the student-centric. Nevertheless, it is noted that the role of the teacher is not leveled, but rather, the teacher acts as a mentor who will be able to maximize his/her potential using SMART technologies. This, in turn, will positively affect the quality of knowledge received by students in this educational system.
