The relevance of this article is due to the problem of insufficient speed and efficiency of the education system development in the context of digitalization and its consequences: rapidly growing information flows, which create the problem of student orientation, as well as the rapid development of digital technologies. The aim of this article is to justify the effectiveness of backward design technology in planning the educational process of a university in the context of the digital transformation of society. It is noted that changes caused by digitalization affect not only the goals of the educational process, but also its components, however, the dynamism of changes should not disrupt the systematic nature of the educational process. In the article, the educational process at a university is considered as a dynamic system with changing parameters and the influence of external conditions, and the concept of backward design is proposed to be used for planning and developing educational programs and educational materials, since it allows you to build changes in individual elements depending on changes in the result. The author notes that backward design should be considered as a strategic approach for the development and implementation of innovative teaching methods and models based on digital technologies. The article also examines the basic principles and stages of backward design, including defining learning objectives, developing effective assessment methods, creating content, and selecting appropriate technologies. The advantages and challenges associated with the introduction of the concept of backward design into the educational process are considered. The need to develop the competences of participants in the educational process, including teachers and students, for the successful implementation of this concept is noted. Particular attention is paid to the problem of uncertain formulation of terms in pedagogy during the transition to the digital environment. The author notes that the digital environment requires a clear and structured description of objects, especially when using algorithms and machine learning. In conclusion, the importance of applying the concept of backward design for the effective transformation of the educational process of a university in the context of digitalization is emphasized and several practical recommendations and resources are proposed that can be used to support the process of implementing backward design in educational institutions.
