Results. The authors note that currently it put in the first place not the productivity of education, but its social characteristics. In a post-digital university, a radical paradigm shift is needed, the rejection of the standardized, algorithmic structure of the university, its transition to a socially significant, critical, responsible device.

Only then can progress in education and significant social transformations be possible. Conclusions. In conclusion, the authors note that the digitalization of the educational process itself, described in the leading documents on education, will not lead to any results, unless it is accompanied by serious transformations in the content of education.
