| 1 | Introduction. In this paper, topicality of information technology application in teaching “Colour Science and Coloristics” course at “Applied Informatics in Design” profile of “Applied Informatics” bachelor degree field of education is validated. The analysis of the history of color science and the history of teaching the discipline “Color Science and Coloristics” is given. Approaches to practice-oriented teaching in educational and design activity of future information specialists in the field of design are described. Material and methods. Lectures, practical studies and course design for “Colour Science and Coloristics” course were delivered (1) using conventional teaching procedures and (2) with application of information technology. In both implementations, Canvas LMS was used. Then pedagogical experiment was carried out in the form of questionnaire with the following analysis of innovative informational methods in educational process. Results and discussion. In this paper, example of successful application of information technology and educational learning resources at Department of Computer Aided Design of National University of Science and Technology “MISIS” in teaching “Colour Science and Coloristics” course for bachelor degree students of “Applied Informatics in Design” profile are given. Digital environment of “Colour Science and Coloristics” of “Applied Informatics in Design” profile was created using digital learning resource LMS Canvas and virtual interaction between teacher and students was implemented. Option of on-line training to the course (in addition to conventional training methods) was implemented using Canvas LMS. This option allows submitting of assignments in digital form for checking. There are options of online discussion of actual topics, remote checking of received student’s depicted or scanned assignments and return of assignments, which require improvement or editing for correction. Canvas LMS allows to arrange and systemize theoretical material in the form comprehensible for student, control dates of opening and closing for every following course module, set deadlines required by teacher, fix dates of module tests and automatically announce the students about these dates. There is the option of creation of database with digital students’ portfolios for demonstration to potential employers. Discussion of results of innovative informational methods was performed by digital questionnaire with application of Google Forms. The discussion indicates growth of interest to “Colour Science and Coloristics” course in the process of electronic learning resources application and increase of material acquisition rate. Conclusion. Application of information technology in teaching “Colour Science and Coloristics” course of “Applied Informatics in Design” profile at Department of Computer Aided Design of NUST MISiS contributes to increase of level of skills acquired by students: growth of interest to the course is observed; students of 09.03.03 profile better understand engineering and design. Implementation of innovative informational teaching forms and methods allows enhancing methodology of professional education in the field of design and facilitates enhancement of creative and professional practical parts of education of computational specialists in design.
