The use of technologies based on artificial intelligence, virtual/augmented reality, mobile platforms is an urgent direction of the modern educational system modernization. Mobile training (m-learning) of specialists in the organization and provision of tourist services complies with UNESCO recommendations, meets government requirements for bachelor's degree programs in this sphere. The authors examine the issue of assessing the impact of the use of mobile applications on the training quality of specialists in the sphere of tourism. The purpose of the study is to examine the impact of mobile learning (m–learning) on the quality of training of specialists in the field of tourism. The methodology is based on the analysis of the potential of mobile technologies to support higher education and UNESCO initiatives, while identifying problems of their implementation in the training of specialists in the organization and provision of tourist services. When developing a system of training tasks based on mobile applications, they took into account the requirements of the professional standard of a specialist in the tourism sphere and the strategy of tourism development in Russia. The applications and tools to support mobile learning: Quizlet, Pinterest, Survio.com, Couchsurfing, Aviasales, Momondo, Trivago, Tripster, izi.TRAVEL, iBuildApp, Apps Tech Global, Appery.io, MIT App Inventor, etc. were used. As a result, the ideas of a methodological approach reflecting the necessary changes in the system of training highly qualified specialists in the tourism sector are described, taking into account the requirements of the professional standard and the directions of the tourism development strategy in Russia. In summary, conclusions are drawn about the positive (new opportunities for collaboration and project activities, cost optimization in tourism business, innovative experience with "distance" technologies in tourism) and negative (poor development of communicative abilities and oral communication skills of users, distraction factor of mobile devices, etc.) aspects of the m-learning impact on the quality of training specialists in the sphere of tourism. The authors also formulated methodological and technical difficulties of the proposed innovations: dependence on foreign software solutions, high cost, technical failures of equipment and Internet in remote areas. The obtained results can be used for the organization of cognitive research activities of students and the development of the tourism sector in the region.

The training of future librarians involves the use of innovative educational tools for the formation of demanded professional competences in accordance with the professional functions and priorities of the development of library science in Russia. The authors study the issue of using AR applications in training of future library specialists to provide additional conditions for the development of demanded digital skills, gaining experience in project- and research-based learning and other educational and cognitive activities; application of the fundamental theory of library science to the organization of cultural events, entertainment events. The purpose of the study is to identify the characteristic features of augmented reality technology use in training specialists in the library and information sphere to improve the quality of their training. The methodology is based on the analysis of the augmented reality technology potential for higher education, to support UNESCO initiatives, while identifying problems of their implementation in training specialists in the library and information sphere. The provisions of the professional standard for a specialist in library and information sphere, the strategy for the development of library science in Russia are taken into account in developing a system of educational tasks based on the AP applications. The following applications and tools were used to support augmented reality technology: Quiver, Star Walk, Mind Map AR, HISTARS, BBC Civilizations AR, AR Ruler, Arloon chemistry, Arloon geometry, ZOME, JigSpace, SketchAR, etc. As the results, the ideas of a methodological approach reflecting the necessary changes in the system of training highly qualified specialists in the library and information sphere are described, taking into account the provisions of the professional standard and the directions of the strategy for the development of library science in Russia. The conclusions are drawn about the characteristics of AR technology use in the work of a librarian (visualization of information, establishment of temporary and emotional connections, etc.). Methodological and technical difficulties of the proposed innovations are also formulated: high cost, technical failures of equipment in libraries. The obtained results can be used for the organization of cognitive research activities of students; in the work of museum-library type institutions.
